چکیده

RÉSUMÉ. Les simulations numériques haute performance de la propagation des ondes sismiques de la source à la surface du sol sont un outil puissant pour l’étude d’un séisme. Comme la sismologie moderne basée sur les observations instrumentales n’existe que depuis quelques décennies, la simulation numérique est essentielle pour l’étude des séismes historiques ou l’estimation de futurs séismes pour lesquels il n’y a pas de données. Pour la France métropolitaine, le séisme ligure de 1887 est un des séismes les plus destructeurs, dont la position est estimée au nord-ouest de l’Italie, à proximité de la frontière avec la France, au large de la côte méditerranéenne. Nous effectuons des simulations numériques du mouvement du sol, à l’aide d’une méthode de différences finies (FDM) en 3D, basées sur des scénarios potentiels de séismes. En comparant l’extension spatiale des dommages (intensité), nous testons différents scénarios pour ce séisme basés sur des considérations sismotectoniques : (1) une faille normale superficielle proche de la côte, (2) une faille inverse superficielle au large et (3) une faille inverse plus profonde et plus proche de la côte. Les résultats de nos simulations améliorent nos connaissances des phénomènes passés et contribuent à l’évaluation de l’aléa sismique régional.

Large-scale broadband simulation of strong ground motions from recent and historical damaging Earthquakes in Japan

A recent development of the Earth Simulator super parallel computer has made it possible to realized realistic 3-D simulations of high-frequency seismic wave propagations on a regional scale. Paralleling this development, the deployment of dense networks of strong ground motion instruments in Japan (K-NET and KiK-net) has now made it possible to directly visualize regional seismic wave propagat...

A Strong Ground Motion Catalogue of Selected Records for Shallow Crustal, Near Field Earthquakes in Iran

Understanding strong ground motions in the near-fault areas is important for seismic risk assessment in densely populated areas. In the past, lack of information on strong ground motion for large and moderate earthquakes led to the use of mainly far field large and moderate earthquake records in equations for calculation of the strong ground motion parameters. In this article, we collected and ...

Effects of Multiple Structure-soil-structure Interactions Considering the Earthquake Waveform and Structures Elevation Effects

The simultaneous effects of soil and existing structures are known as the site-city interaction (structure-soil-structure). The impact of site-city interaction on structure behavior is effective. Thus, this interaction in some regions decreases the responses while increases in other areas. In addition, the site-city interaction of many parameters including the soil type, density rate, height of...

Visualization of 3D Wave Propagation from the 2000 Tottori-ken Seibu, Japan, Earthquake: Observation and Numerical Simulation

The dense networks of strong-ground-motion instruments in Japan (KNET and KiK-net) provide a means of direct visualization of regional wave propagation during large earthquakes. For the 2000 Tottori-ken Seibu earthquake (Mw 6.6) in western Japan, snapshots of ground motion, derived directly from interpolation of a large number of array observations, demonstrate clearly the nature of the source ...

Study of tsunami propagation in the Ligurian Sea

Tsunami propagation is analyzed for the Ligurian Sea with particular attention on the French coasts of the Mediterranean. Historical data of tsunami manifestation on the French coast are analyzed for the period 2000 B.C.– 1991 A.D. Numerical simulations of potential and historical tsunamis in the Ligurian Sea are done in the context of the nonlinear shallow water theory. Tsunami wave heights as...
