Research on earthquake ground motion amplification effect based on the empirical site model in Heilongjiang province
Local site effect is an important content in the seismic design code,and the result of site effect classification based on site category is rather rough.To solve this problem,based on the data of soil layer distribution and shear wave velocity,soil dynamic characteristics and density in Heilongjiang area,the statistical characteristics of the variation of site parameters with depth were statistically analyzed and 15 empirical site models with depth ranging from 10 to 80 m were established.Taking the typical acceleration response spectrum of bedrock in Heilongjiang as the target spectrum,in order to eliminate the effect of random phase,400 seismic acceleration time histories for each target spectrum were synthesized as inputs.The seismic responses of the 15 model sites were calculated,the statistic value of the peak acceleration and the statistic value of the dynamic amplification coefficient of the calibration spectrum of the acceleration response are obtained.The results show that the period of the site increases gradually with the thickness of the soil layer,whereas the amplification of the PGA(peak ground acceleration)of the site decreases;With the increase of the input seismic intensity,the amplification of the site PGA is nonlinear;The dynamic amplification coefficient shows a tendency of decreasing first and then increasing with the thickness of the soil layer;With the increase of seismic intensity,the dynamic amplification coefficient decreases gradually and the trend of soil layer thickness tends to be smooth;The result of dynamic amplification coefficient is not a fixed value of 2.5,and the dynamic amplification coefficient far exceeds 2.5 when the soil layer is not thick and the seismic ground motion is low.When the soil layer is thicker and the seismic ground motion is stronger,the dynamic amplification coefficient mostly tends to be 2.5.
