5 Japan Seismic Hazard Information Station hi i j In order to promote the use of the national seismic hazard maps, an engineering application committee (Chairman: Prof. H. Kameda) was established by NIED. Under the committee guidance, we developed an open web system to provide information interactively, and named this system as Japan Seismic Hazard Information Station, J-SHIS. Our products are aimed to meet multi-purpose needs in engineering fields by providing information of the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis.

6 The 2011 Tohoku earthquake This M9.0 megathrust earthquake initiated approximately 100 km offshore of Miyagi prefecture and the rupture extended 500 km along the subducting Pacific plate. The Tohoku earthquake was the first M9-class earthquake that is recorded by dense seismograph network. The ground motions were recorded at more than 1200 K-NET and KiK-net. The peak ground accelerations (PGA) exceeded 1G at 20 sites and the largest PGA, 2933 gal was observed at the K-NET Tsukidate station (MYG004).

7 Paste-up of the observed waveforms Acceleration EW component Displacement ( Hz) EW component Normalized acceleration and displacement ( Hz) paste-up of the waveforms observed by K-NET and KiK-net ordered by latitude which reveal a very complex source process; An initial strong phase originating near the hypocenter is clearly observed. A subsequent seismic phase uniformly delayed by approximately 40s suggests a second event at nearly the same location. A later seismic phase is strongly observed to the south s after the initial phase. This phase suggests that a third strong event took place off-shore of Fukushima-Ibaraki.

14 Lessons from the Tohoku Earthquake Complex wide-area disaster The limits of crisis management for complex wide-area disaster were exposed. Lack of Bird's-eye view for response to disaster Lack of comprehensive measures Elemental technologies were effective. (Earthquake-proof technology) Limits of elemental technologies that are optimized for the event in the expected. Lack of measures for unexpected events Needs for an integrated system for disaster mitigation Improvement of national power for disaster management and mitigation by reform of the social system Operational integration of disaster management and mitigation system as a service

15 Comparison between the hazard maps and observed strong motions Comparison between the observed seismic intensities ( :K-NET, :KiK-net)of the Tohoku earthquake and seismic intensity distribution for 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years, which is one of the probabilistic seismic hazard map or less As you can see from this comparison, predicted ground motion level in the probabilistic seismic hazard map was clearly underestimated in Fukushima Prefecture and the northern part of Ibaraki Prefecture for the Tohoku earthquake. seismic intensity Seismic Intensity with 2% probability of exceedance in 50 year.

20 Seismic activity model for hazard assessment Earthquakes with specified dfault Earthquakes in major or other fault zones Earthquakes in subduction zones (Interplate or intraplate) Background earthquakes Inland earthquakes Earthquakes in subduction zones (Interplate or intraplate) In order to construct a probabilistic seismic activity model that encompasses the seismic activity of all possible earthquakes, it is necessary for the complement the long-term evaluation to use a different methodology from the traditional long-term evaluation.

21 Classification of uncertainty factors Aleatory Uncertainty Intrinsic uncertainty. It is represented by a random variable in the prediction model. Uncertainty caused by a limitation of model to explain phenomena. Uncertainty used to calculate a hazard curve. Epistemic Uncertainty Uncertainty due to a lack of knowledge and data. Uncertainty due to differences in judgment for modeling It is evaluated by using a logic tree. Represented by more than one hazard curve.

22 Problems that must be overcome for improvement of seismic i hazard assessment 1) Modeling of seismic activity with no oversight to low-probability earthquakes. 2) Preparation of strong ground motion maps considering low-probability earthquakes. 3) Development of methodology for selecting appropriate scenario earthquakes from probabilistic seismicity model. 4) Development of methodology for prediction i of strong ground motions for mega-thrust earthquakes.

23 Seismic activities in the Pacific plate No.1 No.2 (G-R law) It is necessary to promote proper modeling of background earthquakes that encompasses all earthquakes without longterm evaluation. For example it may be possible to evaluate the magnitude of For example, it may be possible to evaluate the magnitude of earthquakes from the area of the plate boundary that can be considered to cause earthquakes, and to assess the frequency of occurrence of earthquakes by using the Gutenberg-Richter formula that shows the relationship between the number of earthquakes and their magnitude.

24 Tentative modeling of seismic activity in the Pacific plate after the 311 Tohoku earthquake M=8.0 7% Mu=7.0 M=7.4 (55%)? Mu=8.0 or 8.2 M=7.9 0% M=7.4 14% M=7.0 95% M=8.2 5% Mt= % Mu=8.0 or 8.4 Mu=8.0 or 8.4 Mu=8.0 or 8.2 Mu=8.0 Mu=8.0 or 8.3? Mu=8.0 or 8.3 Intraplate Mu=7.5 or 8.2 M for characteristic earthquakes Max M for background earthquakes (Model 1 or Model 2)

27 Strong-motion maps considering low-probability earthquakes 1,000 years 10,000 years 100,000 years Based on the averaged long-term seismic hazard assessment, evaluating strong-motion level for about 10, , years return period, we prepare the maps that show the distribution of strong-motion level, which represent effect of almost all of major earthquakes on active faults and subduction zone earthquakes with low-probability. Regarding the seismic hazard assessment for low probability, at present, it is insufficient to evaluate the uncertainty for low probability M8 class earthquakes and it is necessary to improve techniques for them.
