5 Introduction The establishment of the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster on January 17, 1995 killed nearly 6,400 people and destroyed over 100,000 buildings, and brought to light a number of problems in our national earthquake disaster prevention measures. Following on the lessons learned from this disaster, the Special Measure Law on Earthquake Disaster Prevention sponsored by legislators was enacted in July 1995 to promote a comprehensive national policy on earthquake disaster prevention. The failure to sufficiently communicate and apply earthquake research results to the general public and disaster prevention organizations highlighted the need for a direct system of accountability in government policy regarding earthquakes, and the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion, a special governmental organization attached to the Prime Minister's office(now belongs to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), was established in accordance with this law. 4

6 National budget used for earthquake research The fiscal year 2005 governmental budget allocation related to the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion is approximately 66 million EUR* (102% compared with last year). *Excludes a grant of operating costs to independent administrative institutions and National University Corporations. 5

P(Y > y m i,r j ) = 1 F U y Y (m i,r j ) mean value of y and uncertainty of U, ordinary log normal distribution, can be assumed. F U (u) is distribution function of summation of U. 10

Average and maximum cases are considered. Possibility of several rupture lengths is expected, maximum lengths are assumed If dip angle is unknown, 90 degrees for strike-slip and 60 degrees for dip (and normal) -slip are assumed. Width of fault plane corresponding to seismogenic zone, and upper depth of the zone assumed to be 3km. Specific case of Futagawa-Hinage fault was applied logic tree. 22

34 c) Others 1 Other active faults than 98 Basically, fault length larger than 10km, and if distance up to next fault less than 5km means continued fault. Poisson process and return period R is as follows R=1000 D/S Where, D is dislocation of rupture in m, and S is average dislocation per year in mm/y. Empirical relations of M: logl=0.6m-2.9 logd=0.6m-4.0 are determined by Matsuda(1975), where L is fault length in km Therefore, R can be evaluated with L and S as logr=log(l/s)

35 Degree of fault activity is defined as follows: If S is evaluated, evaluated value is adopted, otherwise, A: 1 mm/year A~B: 0.5 mm/y B: 0.25 mm/y B~C: 0.1mm/y C: 0.047mm/y For undefined and less than above, 0.024mm/y is assumed. Dip angle of 90degree is assumed for all. Top of fault plane is assumed to be at 3km. Total of 178 faults 34

38 c) Others 2 Uncertain sources (1)Subduction events other than the characterized earthquakes (2)Intra-plate events other than the characterized earthquakes (3)Crustal earthquakes not associated with active faults (4)Specific regions of Urakawa, East-end of Japan-sea, South of Izu islands, and Nansei-shoto Islands Two source zonings were applied: Corresponding to long term evaluation and mesh on 0.1 degree of coordinate (finally, average of both was taken) Two historical earthquake catalogs were prepared. 1885~1925: greater or equal M ~2002: greater or equal M5.0 (medium events catalog) 1983~2002: greater or equal M3.0 (small events catalog)* *M4.0 for Pacific and Philippine sea plates Characteristically modeled events are eliminated. b of G-R is assumed to 0.9. and Poisson process is assumed. 37

39 An example for (3) Crustal earthquakes not associated with active faults Medium and small events catalogs were used. Focal depth shallower or equal 25km (except Japan sea region is 40km due to accuracy) Modeled events are assumed to be 3km of focal depth. Overlapped regions with other modeled area are eliminated. Mj was transmitted to Mw by following empirical equation: Mw=0.78Mj+1.08 (???) Four cases for frequency distribution of occurrence Two source zonings Two catalogs 38

46 Strong motion estimation Intensity of Japan Metrological Agency is publicly acceptable. However, we do not have any precise attenuation relation of intensity. Prof. Midorikawa attempted to convert from PGV to surface intensity. However, you can imagine that data of PGV is less than PGA, and to determine reliable regression coefficients is impossible. Therefore, he provided his best estimate of main coefficients for PGV attenuation relation. 45

47 PGV for Vs=600m/s is estimated by a specific attenuation relation. (Si&Midorikawa, 1999) Amplify 31% to PGV for Vs=400m/s (Matsuoka&Midorikawa, 1994) Amplify from Vs=400m/s to surface with empirical relations, explained in next session.!!! For some categories of hard geology, it will be de-amplification. Convert from PGV to Intensity (Midorikawa et al., 1999) 46

48 Si&Midorikawa (1999) Observed PGV at surface is decreased by applying next equation to Vs=600m/s. Where, PGV b600 is Peak Ground Velocity (cm/s) at Vs=600m/s, D is focal depth (km), and X is distance (km) that is the closest for large and hypocentral for small events respectively d is coefficient for source type: 0 for crustal, for inter plate and 0.12 for slab events -Distance coefficient is hypothesized. -Saturation coefficient of M is hypothesized. -Magnitude coefficient determined without any advanced statistical analysis, -and assumed model is liner function of single parameter M. (Just try and error scheme) Without any residual confirmation for parameters Reliability??? 47

49 Matsuoka&Midorikawa (1994) log ARV = log AVS (100 < AVS < 1500) Where AVS is average shear wave velocity from surface to depth of 30m, ARV is amplification factor : ratio between ARV of AVS=600 and that of other AVS 48

50 Midorikawa et al. (1999) Where PGVs is PGV at surface, and Iinstr is intensity calculated from strong motion records. Before 1996, intensity was decided by people at meteorological agency stations or damages. After that, it is calculated from 3 components of accelerometer, which are filtered corresponding to mean characteristic between acceleration and velocity. (so called instrumental intensity) 49

51 Trimmings Mw of crustal event is converted from Mj by an empirical relation of Takemura (1990). Anomalous seismic intensity in northeast Japan regarding to High-Q of Pacific plate subduction is corrected with following correction terms. 50

52 An empirical relation of Takemura (1990). Mw=0.78Mj Noubi Earthquake Almost one large event constrains the equation. However, Mj should be saturated in large magnitude. 51

53 Anomalous seismic intensity in northeast Japan regarding to High-Q of Pacific plate subduction is corrected with following correction terms. log V 1 = ( R tr ) (H-30) V 2 = max{ 1.0, (R/300) } } Where Rtr is distance from site to Japan trench. R is hypocentral distance. H is focal depth. V1 is applied for events deeper than 30km. V2 is extending scheme to apply Si&Midorikawa relation beyond 300km of out of data range. 52

54 epicenter Left: observed peak amplitudes Center: predicted amplitude without corrections of V1 and V2 Right: predicted with the corrections 53

60 Before Pliocene Pliocene except granite Quaternary volcanic Hill Gravel plateau Loam If AVS less than 100m/s was estimated, it is assumed to be 100m/s. Fan Sand bank Flat bottom in valley Natural bank Man made Reclaimed Altitude (m) Delta Distance from river Vertical axis is AVS Horizontal axis is altitude except bottom, and the bottom is distance from river Dark lines are determined in 1995 Blue: East Red: Central Green: West 59

61 Then convert from AVS to amplitude As well as an empirical equation Where ARV is amplitude from at depth of 30m to surface. And assumed base rock AVS is 600m/s. 松岡 翠川 (1994) Therefore, 31% decreased corresponding from 600 to 400m/s of AVS You can expect large uncertainty in this empirical equation, and relation between 600 and 400m/s of AVS is unclear. 60

82 N events were occurred in a limited area. Aleatoric uncertainty of strong motion record of high density observation network in Japan Ej Dij Si Strong motion records from these events were observed at several sites. N Site coefficient is expressed: Si = log O ij log P( M j, Dij) j= 1{ } Where, Mj is moment magnitude of j-th event Ej, Dij is closest distance from Ej to i-th site Si, P(Mj, Dij) is predicted amplitude for Mj and Dij, and Oij is strong motion record from Ej at Si. Dij constant for all events at i-th site. ( ) log P M j, D ij Si log O + ij Aleatoric uncertainty N Epistemic uncertainties of source effect was reduced by using only events from a limited area, path effect was reduced by using only records from the limited area at specific sites, and site effect was reduced by using averaged error at the specific site. 81
