2 Outlines Introduction Spatial Correlation of Scalar Intensity Measures Strong Motion Database and Regional Site Conditions Spatial Cross correlation of Vector Intensity Measures A Site dependent LMC Model for [PGA, Ia, PGV] A Site dependent LMC Model for Sa(T) Applications and Conclusions The presentation is based on Wang and Du (23), Spatial Cross correlation Models for Vector Intensity Measures (PGA, Ia, PGV and Sa s) Considering Regional Site Conditions, submitted to Bulletin of Seismological Society of America, under review. 2

3 Introduction Modeling spatial variability of ground motion intensity measures (IMs) is essential for the seismic hazard analysis and risk assessment of spatially distributed infrastructure, such as lifelines, transportation systems and structure portfolios; Spatial correlation is not accounted for by GMPEs; It is necessary to consider the simultaneous occurrence of multiple intensity measure (Vector IM); It is important to consider the influence of regional geological features on the correlation structures. 3

5 Spatial Correlation of Scalar Intensity Measures A Missing Link Spatial Correlation The joint probability of occurrence of ground motion residuals in space. Empirical semi variograms for intra event residuals can be developed to measure the dissimilarity of data separated by separation distance h. N h γ ( h) = z u i i + h z u = i 2 N h ( ) [ ( ) ( )] ( ) 2 The closer the separation distance, the higher probability they are similar. An exponential model can be used to fit the semivariograms. γ ( h) = a( exp( 3 h/ b)) Semivariogram γ(h) Range Separation distance (km) a: the sill of correlation b: the range of correlation h: the separation distance b = 24 km Sill Robust estimator.2 Manual fitted curve

6 Spatial Correlation of Scalar Intensity Measures An exponential model can be used to fit the semivariograms. γ ( h) = a( exp( 3 h/ b)) Spatial correlation coefficient ρ ( h) = exp( 3 h/ b) The valid spatial correlation matrix is always (symmetric) positive semi definite ρ( h2) ρ( h ) J ρ( h2) ρ( hj) ρ( h2j) Semivariogram γ(h) Range Separation distance (km) a: the sill of correlation b: the range of correlation h: the separation distance Sill Robust estimator.2 Manual fitted curve Valid correlation matrix b = 24 km 6

29 Model Applications Random Vector IM Fields (PGA, Ia and PGV are in the natural log scale, in the unit of g, m/s and cm/s, respectively; V s3 is in the unit of m/s)

30 Model Applications Fully Probabilistic Approach using Spatiallycorrelated Vector IMs cf. Du and Wang, Fully Probabilistic Seismic Displacement Analysis of Spatially Distributed Slopes Using Spatially Correlated Vector Intensity Measures, 23 (under review) 3

31 Conclusions Simple permissible spatial correlation models are developed for vector IMs (PGA, Ia, PGV, and Sa) using eleven recent earthquakes. The correlation range of V s3, R Vs3, is found to be a good indicator to characterize the regional geological conditions. In general, the spatial correlations of IMs becomes stronger for a homogeneous regional site condition. The spatial correlation models can be conveniently used in regional specific seismic hazard analysis and loss estimation of spatially distributed infrastructure. 3
