Executive Summary | Two proposals have been made to improve the empirical Green's function method. The first proposal concerns modeling the initial part of the slip velocity time function or a large event. The second proposal concerns modeling soil nonlinearity. A new correction function for the slip velocity is proposed. with a new parameter α representing the abruptness of the initial part of the slip of a large event. The correction function has a preferable spectral characteristic and is more versatile in representing the initial part of the slip velocity time function of a large event. By means of fitting the slip function obtained with this correction function to Nakamura and Miyatake's (2000) slip function. it is found that the best α value is affected by parameters such as w, the width of the fault. fmax, and N. For all cases considered. the best α value ranges between 0.51-1.51. |
