摘要

Recent development of three-dimensional finite-difference codes allows simulation of earthquakes using realistic three-dimensional earth models. These and other developments have shifted emphasis in seismology from earthquake prediction to estimation of location and magnitude of damage in future earthquakes. The accurate calculation of ground motions for future large earthquakes depends upon detailed knowledge of three-dimensional (3D) geologic structure and the earthquake source process, as well as sufficient computational resources. Knowledge of subsurface geologic structure in the San Francisco Bay Area is quite good relative to many areas, and this knowledge has been incorporated into a 3D velocity model of the Bay Area. With access to a 3D finite-difference code (E3D) developed by Shawn Larsen at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and use of super-computing resources at Livermore, we are able to complete calculations for simulations of a number of San Francisco Bay Area earthquakes. These include a small 1993 Rodgers Creek event recorded at Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, the 1989 Loma Prieta event recorded on the U.S. Geological Survey and Calif. Div. of Mines and Geology network of strong motion stations, and a number of small South Bay events (including the 8/12/98 San Juan Bautista EQ) recorded on a temporary USGS/UCB/PASSCAL Santa Clara array. In each of these cases, comparison of synthetic results (synthetic seismograms and plots of maximum horizontal ground velocity) from E3D to recorded data from the event gives an excellent opportunity to both judge the usefulness and the constraints necessary in using finite-difference modeling and the validity of the velocity model as it is now constructed.; Results show that 3D finite-difference modeling produces waveforms that are often quite comparable to recorded data, and that fit the data considerably better than synthetics waveforms derived with a 1D velocity model. It is also possible to explore the sensitivity of the, synthetics to the major geologic structures in the velocity model, such as pronounced lateral velocity contrasts across the major strike-slip faults and extensive basins of alluvial velocities. Understanding the effects of such long wavelength structure is especially important when considering that most earthquakes locate on or close to faults' velocity contrasts, and often also near basins. For example, in simulations of the Loma Prieta earthquake, it is apparent that the refraction of energy by the San Andreas Fault serves to reduce ground motions at stations located along the San Francisco Peninsula, and the Quaternary and Tertiary alluvial basins of the San Francisco Bay Area are found to amplify and extend the duration of ground motions in the Santa Clara Valley, Livermore Valley and San Pablo Bay. In conclusion, it appears that the 3D model as it is currently defined accurately describes the spatial variation of peak ground velocity in the f 0.5 Hz band, which suggests that this model may be used to estimate ground motions for future earthquake scenarios.
