Abstract
This study presents ground motion analyses and regional shaking risk assessments for the January 1st, 2024, Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan. The ground motion analyses are carried out to identify a suitable prediction model of spatially correlated ground motion fields and to study the directivity and velocity pulses of near-fault ground motions. Moreover, a probabilistic regional shaking risk model for residential buildings on the Noto Peninsula is developed by integrating the ground motion data and models, building exposure data with regional characteristics (structural type and construction year), and seismic fragility functions for residential buildings in Japan. Results from the regional shaking risk assessment are obtained as cumulative probability distributions of the number of majorly damaged buildings at prefectural and municipality levels and are compared with the observed building damage statistics for the 2024 earthquake. Sensitivity analyses of the regional shaking risk assessment highlight the importance of incorporating local observations and relevant data.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering presents original, peer-reviewed papers on research related to the broad spectrum of earthquake engineering. The journal offers a forum for presentation and discussion of such matters as European damaging earthquakes, new developments in earthquake regulations, and national policies applied after major seismic events, including strengthening of existing buildings.
Coverage includes seismic hazard studies and methods for mitigation of risk; earthquake source mechanism and strong motion characterization and their use for engineering applications; geological and geotechnical site conditions under earthquake excitations; cyclic behavior of soils; analysis and design of earth structures and foundations under seismic conditions; zonation and microzonation methodologies; earthquake scenarios and vulnerability assessments; earthquake codes and improvements, and much more.
This is the Official Publication of the European Association for Earthquake Engineering.
