EARTHQUAKE MOTION PREDICTION BASED ON THE LONG PERIOD-SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS DUE TO THE DEEP GROUND STRUCTURE OF LOCAL REGION

Abstract

 A strong motion prediction technique was developed, including the long period ground motion due to each individual local region. The study was focussed on the long period-spectral characteristic derived from deep ground configuration of region, which is generally verified in strong ground motion records. The technique was applied to the Noubi Plain of the Tokai district and the Nakatsugawa basin of Gifu Prefecture.
