Strong Ground Motion Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates the characteristics of earthquake shaking through observation, focusing on strong ground motion.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how strong earthquake ground motion arises, through observation
The Strong Ground Motion Engineering Lab studies the prediction and evaluation of strong earthquake ground motion (strong ground motion) that causes damage to society.
Earthquake records observed at the ground surface contain the effects of the earthquake source, the propagation path, and the site characteristics of the sedimentary layers.
The lab conducts field observations such as seismic observation and subsurface exploration, and investigates the factors that generate strong ground motion by analyzing the observed records.
Its main research themes are the source characteristics of intraplate earthquakes, the effects of high-attenuation zones around volcanoes, the ground motion characteristics of sedimentary basins, and the attenuation characteristics of shallow subsurface ground.
Key terms
- Strong ground motion
- Strong earthquake ground motion that causes damage to society
- Site characteristics
- The effects that the sedimentary layers between the seismic bedrock and the ground surface have on ground motion
- Sedimentary basin
- A basin filled with thick deposits of sediment. It is said to be particularly susceptible to the effects of ground motion
ResearchResearch themes
To reduce earthquake disasters, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the input ground motion in addition to those of cities and buildings. The lab aims to predict strong ground motion and to advance strong ground motion evaluation for producing design input ground motions.
