A non-ergodic effective amplitude ground-motion model for California

Grigorios Lavrentiadis et al.

Summary: This study presents a new non-ergodic ground-motion model for California, which utilizes effective amplitude spectral (EAS) values instead of spectral acceleration. The model is formulated as a Bayesian hierarchical model, with non-ergodic source, path, and site terms modeled as spatially varying coefficients.

Analysis of the 2019 Mw 5.8 Silivri Earthquake Ground Motions: Evidence of Systematic Azimuthal Variations Associated with Directivity Effects

Elif Tuerker et al.

Summary: The main Marmara fault is the only part of the North Anatolian fault zone that has not experienced a large earthquake, making it a potentially significant contributor to the seismic hazard of the Istanbul region. Recent moderate-sized earthquakes along this fault have raised concerns, and studies have shown distinct azimuthal trends in the ground motion effects.

Source Time Function Clustering Reveals Patterns in Earthquake Dynamics

Jiuxun Yin et al.

Summary: The research shows that there is an association between the complexity of earthquake source time functions (STFs) and earthquake source parameters. Thrust events mostly have simple STF shapes, while earthquakes in complicated tectonic regions with shallow depths tend to have complex STF shapes and longer source durations.

Rupture Directivity in 3D Inferred From Acoustic Emissions Events in a Mine-Scale Hydraulic Fracturing Experiment

Jose Angel Lopez-Comino et al.

Summary: Traditional analysis of earthquake rupture directionality is based on 2D azimuthal observations, but with the development of 3D monitoring networks, 3D modeling of directivity analysis can reveal different geometries of microseismic rupture planes. The alignment of rupture directivity with local stress conditions suggests that both slip direction and fracture growth induced by fluid injections are controlled by stress conditions.

NESS2.0: An Updated Version of the Worldwide Dataset for Calibrating and Adjusting Ground-Motion Models in Near Source

Sara Sgobba et al.

Summary: The study presents an extended and updated version of the worldwide NEar-Source Strong-motion (NESS) flat file, which includes new source metadata and intensity measures. Analysis of the data reveals distinctive features such as pulselike waveforms, large vertical components, and hanging-wall effects, which can be used to assess their impact on near-source seismic motion. The goal of the study is to promote the use of the NESS2 flat file as a tool to disseminate qualified and referenced near-source data and metadata to improve GMM constraints near the source.

Earthquake Source Complexity Controls the Frequency Dependence of Near-Source Radiation Patterns

Daniel T. Trugman et al.

Summary: The spatial patterns of earthquake ground motion amplitudes exhibit primarily double-couple characteristics at low frequencies, but at higher frequencies, there are significant isotropic and residual components present. This suggests complexity in the rupture process or local fault zone structure.

The impact of structural complexity, fault segmentation, and reactivation on seismotectonics: Constraints from the upper crust of the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence area

M. Buttinelli et al.

Summary: Young and tectonically active chains like the Central Apennines in Italy show high structural complexity due to subsequent deformation stages, with stacking of tectono-sedimentary units organized in thrust sheets and current extensional tectonics affecting the axial sector. A comprehensive 3D geological model built using a large subsurface dataset reveals thrusts developed during the Miocene-Pliocene Apennines orogenesis, inherited normal faults from Mesozoic extensional phase, and Miocene foreland flexural process, impacting seismicity in the area. Reactivation of inherited faults aligned with current extensional stress fields can explain seismicity and debate the seismogenic potential of faults impacting the seismic hazard of the Apennines.

An Empirical Model to Account for Spectral Amplification of Pulse-Like Ground Motion Records

Sara Sgobba et al.

Summary: This study investigates the statistical features of acceleration and displacement response spectra of pulse-like signals using the NESS1 flat-file. The results highlight significant differences between pulse-like spectra and ordinary ones, proposing empirical factors to adjust ground-motion model predictions. These factors capture the amplification effect induced by near-fault directivity, potentially enhancing the accuracy of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.

Empirical nonergodic shaking scenarios based on spatial correlation models: An application to central Italy

Sara Sgobba et al.

Summary: This paper presents a new methodological framework for generating empirical ground shaking scenarios, which can be used to reconstruct past ground motion patterns and generate future shaking scenarios in regions with strong-motion datasets. The methodology combines a nonergodic ground motion model with spatial correlation models, and takes into account directivity effects. The approach is calibrated on a dense dataset for central Italy and can simulate acceleration response spectra at unsampled sites.
