Research Abstract

The present study is focusing on the monitoring of ground motion in order to detect liquefaction. The importance of monitoring system was recognized in the lifeline earthquake engineering after the 1995 Hyogoken Nambu earthquake in Japan. The monitoring system in the lifeline earthquake engineering is classified into two aspects. One is the monitoring of lifeline facilities and the other is the monitoring of ground motion and ground failure. The present study is focusing on the monitoring of the ground motion in order to detect liquefaction.
The study tries to use the strong ground motion records for detection of liquefaction. First, amplitude characteristics of strong ground motion records were investigated. Time histories of ratio of vertical ground acceleration to the horizontal one was calculated from response acceleration records at ground surface in liquefied and non-liquefied areas. If the ratio of vertical ground acceleration to the horizontal one is calculated at each time step, the ratio is remarkably great when the horizontal ground acceleration is close to zero instantaneously. Therefore, the ratio was calculated from the maximum accelerations for every 0.3 seconds in order to avoid the instantaneous great value. Next, frequency characteristics of the response acceleration records were studied. The average predominant frequency of the strong motion and decrease rate of the predominant frequency was calculated. Finally these indices were verified by using more than one hundred response acceleration records at ground surface including the 1999 Ji-Ji Earthquake in Taiwan and 2000 Tottoriken Seibu Earthquake.
