ESTIMATION OF SURFACE GROUND MOTION DISTRIBUTION DURING 2005 WEST OFF FUKUOKA EARTHQUAKE USING MIXING METHOD OF GEOMORPHOLOGIC CLASSIFICATION AND BOREHOLE DATA

Abstract

Estimation of amplification on surface soil is very important in order to estimate detail distribution of earthquake ground motion.
The distribution of earthquake ground motion during 2005 west off Fukuoka earthquake was estimated from the observation records taking account of amplification factors of surface soil deposits by using mixing method to combine geomorphologic classification and borehole data.
