Аннотация:To estimate parameters of ground motion in future strong earthquakes, characteristics
of radiation and propagation of seismic waves in Kamchatka region are studied.
Regional parameters of radiation and propagation of seismic waves are estimated by
comparing simulations of earthquake records with data recorded by stations of strong
motion network of Kamchatka. Acceleration time histories of strong earthquakes
(Mw=6.8-7.5, depths 45-55 km) occurred near the eastern coast of Kamchatka in
1992-1993 are simulated at rock and soil stations located at epicentral distances of 67-
195 km. In these calculations the source spectra and the estimates of frequencydependent
attenuation and geometrical spreading obtained earlier for Kamchatka were
used. The local seismic-wave amplification was estimated based on shallow
geophysical site investigations and deep crustal seismic explorations; and parameters
defining the shapes of the waveforms, the duration, etc. were selected, which show the
best-fit to the observations. The estimated parameters of radiation and propagation of
seismic waves describe all the studied earthquakes well. Based on the waveforms of
the acceleration time histories, models of slip distribution over the fault planes were
constructed for the studied earthquakes.
Station PET can be considered as a reference rock station having the minimum site
effects. The intensity of ground motion at the other studied stations is higher than at
PET due to the soil response or other effects, primarily, topographic ones. At soil
stations INS, AER, and DCH the parameters of soil profiles (homogeneous pyroclastic
deposits) are estimated, and nonlinear models of their behavior in the strong motion
are constructed. The obtained parameters of radiation and propagation of seismic
waves and models of soil behavior can be used for forecasting ground motion in future
strong earthquakes in Kamchatka.
