    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    The severe damage observed in the Kathmandu Basin, Nepal, during past earthquakes necessitates a thorough study of the seismic behavior of the basin sediments. As the shear-wave velocity is directly related to the elastic shear modulus of the material, it is essential to determine it to incorporate the behavior of the soil in the design of the structure. Hence, we determined average shear-wave velocity in upper 30 m (Vs30) of soil in Bhaktapur district in the eastern part of the Kathmandu Basin at 73 observation points, employing two methods involving the use of non-invasive microtremor array measurements (MAMs). These MAMs are widely used for determining subsurface soil characteristics by analyzing the ambient vibrations of the ground. The first method involves inversion using a genetic algorithm, and the second is a method for obtaining Vs30 directly from the dispersion curve. We found that Vs30 in the southeastern part of the study area was higher than that in other parts. Conversely, Vs30 in the western region was lower. The calculated Vs30 values were used to classify the sites. The elevated eastern and southeastern areas with high Vs30 were categorized as dense soil or soft rock, whereas the areas with low Vs30 that had suffered significant damage during the 2015 Gorkha earthquake were classified as soft soil sites.

  • Examination of shallow and deep S-wave velocity structures from microtremor array measurements and receiver function analysis at strong-motion stations in Kathmandu basin, Nepal

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    The Himalayan collision zone, where the Indian Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate at a low angle, has caused many devastating earthquakes. The Kathmandu basin, situated in this region, is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is filled with distinct soft lake sediments with a highly undulating bedrock topography. The basin has been experiencing rapid urbanization, and the growing population in its major cities has increased the vulnerability to seismic risk during future earthquakes. Several strong-motion stations have recently been deployed in the Kathmandu basin. It is expected that the data captured by this strong-motion station array will further enhance our understanding of site amplification in sedimentary basins. Clear P-to-S converted waves have been observed in the strong-motion records. In this study, we investigate the medium boundary that generated these converted waves. First, we estimate the shallow velocity structures, which correspond to the topographic slopes or surface geology, beneath the strong-motion stations. We then apply a receiver function analysis to the strong-motion records. The receiver function indicates that the interface between the soft sediment and seismic bedrock serves as a boundary that generates converted waves. The obtained results can be used for tuning three-dimensional velocity structures.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Strong-motion records of earthquakes are used not only to evaluate the source rupture process, seismic wave propagation and strong ground motion characteristics, but also to provide valuable data for earthquake disaster mitigation. The Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, which is characterised by having soft sediments that have been deposited in an earthquake-prone zone, has experienced numerous earthquakes. We have operated four strong-motion stations in the Kathmandu Valley since 2011. These stations recorded the 2015 magnitude 7.8 Gorkha Nepal earthquake that occurred in the Himalayan continental collision zone. For several months after the mainshock, we deployed four additional temporary stations. Here, we describe the seismic data for 18 earthquakes over magnitude 5.0 collected by this array, including the 2015 magnitude 7.3 Dolakha earthquake of maximum aftershock and three large aftershocks of magnitude 6-class. These data are essential for validating the sedimentary structure of the basin and for evaluating the hazard and risk of future earthquakes in the Kathmandu Valley.

  • Single-Site Ground Motion Prediction Equations (SS-GMPE) of Response Spectra:- Case Study for the Off-Sanriku Outer-Rise Earthquakes -
    TAKAI Nobuo; MAEDA Takahiro; SHIGEFUJI Michiko; SASATANI Tsutomu
    Journal of JAEE, 15, 1, 1_18, 1_37, JAPAN ASSOCIATION FOR EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING, 2015, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, We studied characteristics of strong ground motions from the Off-Sanriku outer-rise earthquakes; these earthquakes are activated after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake (<i>Mw</i> 9.0). First, we calculated pseudo velocity responses for five outer-rise earthquakes (<i>Mw</i> 6.0-7.6) and compared them with the attenuation formulae which were constructed for the intraslab earthquake. In spite of outer-rises data being over the distance range of these formulae, the extrapolated formulae generally explained the attenuation relations of these observed data. However, there were considerable residuals between the observed and predicted values. These residuals result from the site and source effects, because the previous attenuation formulae were constructed based on many sites strong motion records from many earthquakes occurring at various source areas. Second, in order to overcome the weakness of the previous attenuation equations, we proposed empirical ground motion prediction equations for a single site; we named these equations "Single-Site GMPE (SS-GMPE)". Our data for regression analysis were strong motion records at a single observation site from the five outer-rise earthquakes occurring at the narrow source area with the radius of about100km. We carried out a regression analysis with respect to <i>Mw</i> for each site assuming the previously estimated internal attenuation for intraslab earthquakes. The earthquake source, propagation path and site effects were well incorporated into these equations, and as a result, the residuals between the observed and predicted values were considerably decreased. Finally, we applied the SS-GMPE to earthquakes not used in the regression analysis and found the good correspondence of predicted and observed spectra.

  • Estimate of the path-averaged Q value for S-wave at low frequencies
    SHIGEFUJI Michiko; TAKAI Nobuo; SASATANI Tsutomu
    BUTSURI-TANSA(Geophysical Exploration), 65, 1, 53, 66, The Society of Exploration Geophysicists of Japan, Apr. 2012, [Peer-reviewed]
    Japanese, We propose a new method to estimate the path-averaged QS-value at low-frequencies (<0.5 Hz). In this method, we measure the decay rate of the observed S-wave spectral amplitudes against the travel times; the spectral amplitudes are corrected for effects of the S-wave radiation pattern and site amplification due to the deep sedimentary layers. The corrections are done by using the theoretical S-wave spectral amplitudes calculated assuming the perfect elastic body and the appropriate source and site amplification models; the result of this method depends on accuracy of the source and site amplification models. We examine validity of this method and effects of inappropriate source and site amplification models on an estimate of the QS-value. Finally, we apply this method to estimate the QS-value within the back-arc side mantle wedge beneath Kyushu islands. The estimated QS-value is about 50 in the frequency range of 0.2 to 0.3 Hz.

    Geophysical bulletin of Hokkaido University, 0, 73, 217, 227, 北海道大学大学院理学研究院自然史科学部門(地球物理学), Mar. 2010
    Japanese, The largest aftershock(Mw 7.3)of the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake(Mw 8.3)generates larger peak ground acceleration(PGA)values than the main shock in the western side of the epicenters despite their magnitude difference. We study the features of strong ground motions from the largest aftershock in detail using PGA values. Spatial distribution maps of PGA ratio between the largest aftershock and adjacent earthquake shows obvious azimuth dependency compared with the other earthquake pairs occurring around Japan. Attenuation relationship of the largest aftershock shows a large azimuth-dependent ...

    三輪田吾郎; 高井伸雄; 清水学; 笹谷努; 前田宜浩; 山本明夫
    Geophysical bulletin of Hokkaido University, 0, 73, 195, 205, 北海道大学大学院理学研究院自然史科学部門(地球物理学), Mar. 2010
    Japanese, Nonlinear site response was observed at TKCH 07 in Toyokoro and HKD 109 in Urakawa during the mainshock(Mj 8.0)and the largest aftershock(Mj 7.1)of the 2003 Tokachi-oki Earthqua ke. At TKCH 07, peak ground acceleration(PGA)was smaller than PGA at the other strong motion station in Toyokoro. At HKD 109, the accelerogram shows a characteristic spiky waveform. Due to this spiky wave, large PGA was observed compared to the other stations in Urakawa, although PGA at HKD 109 was smaller than PGA at JMA Urakawa station during the main shock and smaller aftershocks.

    Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering (Transactions of AIJ), 72, 611, 39, 46, Architectural Institute of Japan, 2007
    Japanese, We know the fact that almost all the people are killed by collapsed wooden houses in earthquake, but a precise estimation method for casualties hasn't existed in the field of earthquake engineering. In this paper we reconstruct the vulnerability function and damage index function for wooden building in order to estimate damaged building under the state that many people are killed. Combination of this function and Death Risk Function gives us the preventive information for individual and the precisely estimated casualties in wide areas for municipal prevention project.

  • 2003年十勝沖地震(Mw8.3)による周期約20秒の長周期地震動
    前田宜浩; 高井伸雄; 笹谷努

    Japanese, A lot of strong ground motion data from the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake (Mw8.3) were obtained by a dense strong motion network including K-NET, KiK-net and so on. We examine the long-period ground motions with a period of about 20 seconds based on these data. First, we estimate propagation directions and phase velocities of long-period Rayleigh waves at 64 seismic array sites in Hokkaido arranged from the dense network; the radius of the array is about 15 Km. The semblance analysis is applied to band-pass filtered, verticalcomponent waveforms at each array; the central frequencies are 0.03 and 0.05 Hz. The propagation directions of these long-period seismic waves basically radiate from the source region of the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake. However, the propagation directions seem to turn from the northwest to the west across the Hidaka Mountains, extending from the north to the south in the central Hokkaido. The phase velocities are 3 to 4 Km/sec; the phase velocity of the 0.03 Hz central frequency wave is slightly higher than that of the 0.05 Hz central frequency wave across one array. Next we examine ground velocity waveforms and spatial distribution of peak ground velocities (PGV) based on all data in the eastern Japan from the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake. Long-period waves with a period of about 20 seconds predominate on the ground velocity waveforms; at some sites shorter-period seismic waves are overlaid on the longperiod waves. The PGV distribution shows peculiar features; PGV in Hokkaido, the northern part of the epicenter, are larger than those in Tohoku, the south-western part of the epicenter, at the comparable distance. The PGV attenuation relation also shows peculiar features; the decay rate changes around a distance of about 200 Km and the large scatter with one order exists at a distance of about 300 Km. We interpret these features by comparing the observed waveforms with the synthetic ones calculated by using the CMT solution and 1-D velocity structure. The direct S-waves contribute PGV at distances less than about 200 Km, while the long-period surface waves (Rayleigh waves) contribute PGV at distances larger than about 200 Km. The source radiation pattern of long-period surface waves generates the large scatter of PGV at a distance of about 300 Km. This study concludes that the source radiation patterns of long-period S and surface waves mainly contribute the spatial distribution of PGV for large earthquakes such as the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake.

    The source characteristics of plate boundary earthquakes and inland crustal earthquakes have been examined in detail due to their frequency. But there is a small number of examples of intraplate earthquakes. We compared the source characteristics of interplate and intraplate earthquakes of almost the same scale and epicenter and showed that high-frequency excitation in intraplate earthquakes is strong. We also compared intraplate earthquakes with different depths and showed that deep hypocenters have stronger high-frequency excitation than shallow hypocenters. The 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake was relatively deep and had strong high-frequency excitation source characteristics. We estimated the underground structural model around the area where the dangerous seismic motion occurred, was estimated. We clarified that the causes of dangerous seismic motion are the ground amplification characteristics of the surface layer and the non-linear effect during the mainshock.

    Comprehensive investigation on the 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake and its disaster was conducted. Mainshock rupture initiated at deepest part and major slip was occurred in 20-30km deep. Multiple simultaneous landslides in Atsuma town was induced by combination of strong ground shaking and weak sliding layer between pyroclastic fall deposit layers. Halloysite cray minerals was discovered in all sliding layers. Simulation suggested landslides might attack residential houses within 6 seconds. Observed peak ground motions in nearby area were larger than common distance attenuation model. Severe wooden house damage in Mukawa town was due to amplified seismic waves due to site effects. Sounding and boring investigation revealed filled low-density volcanic ash and higher groundwater level in liquefaction area. Electricity blackout caused severe damage in social and economic activities of Hokkaido. These scientific outcomes were explained to residents at public briefing session.

    Generally, the strong ground motion is strongly affected by the sedimentary basin. Slip pulse motions are generated when the seismic source fault is located near the seismic station. In this study, we explored the generation mechanism of the slip pulse motion which is observed on the rock site in the Kathmandu Valley during the 2015 Gorkha Nepal earthquake. We revealed that this slip pulse motion is largely affected by the near-field and the intermediate terms from the nearest slip area and amplified by the basin.

    First, we clarified that the long-period pulse ground motion observed by the Nepal Gorkha earthquake was the ground motion from the source fault of about 10 km depth and amplified in the sedimentary basin. Next, we derived the empirical constitutive law of the slip rate function considering the fling step generated from the region shallower than the seismogenic layer, and constructed a prediction model to improve the conventional strong motion prediction recipe. Furthermore, we confirmed the reproducibility of the observation records near large-scale active fault earthquakes such as the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, the 1999 Kocaelli earthquake, and the 2008 Chi-Chi earthquake, and verified the validity of the method. Finally, we examined effective seismic reinforcement in high-rise buildings by considering long-period ground motions.

    There were considerable residuals between the observed and predicted values. These residuals result from the site and source effects, because the previous attenuation formulae were constructed based on many site’s strong motion records from many earthquakes occurring at various source areas. In order to overcome the weakness of the previous attenuation equations, we proposed empirical ground motion prediction equations for a single site; we named these equations “Single-Site GMPE (SS-GMPE)”. We carried out a regression analysis with respect to MW for each site assuming the previously estimated internal attenuation for intraslab earthquakes. The residuals between the observed and predicted values were considerably decreased. We applied the SS-GMPE to earthquakes not used in the regression analysis and found the good correspondence of predicted and observed spectra.

    I tried the strong motion evaluation of the Katmandu Basin that was the world heritage area of the Nepalese country. I evaluated basement structure in cooperation with an expert of the local geological feature, seismology.
    I started strong motion observation inside and outside of the basin. I estimated the shallow underground structure near the observation sites by the surface wave exploration method. High quality strong motion data was recorded in each site. I could confirmed these time series data and spectra with the shallow underground structure for each sites. These data which were recorded in Katmandu Basin and a penumbra for the first time will be important basics data to a strong motion prediction in the future.

    The 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake, a great interplate earthquake (Mw8.3), is the first M8 class earthquake in Japan since the dense strong-motion networks such as the K-NET and KiK-net have been deployed. We examine spatial distributions of velocity responses (damping factor h=0.05) with various natural periods for this earthquake by using the dense strong-motion network data. The short-period (T=0.1sec; T=natural period) velocity response distribution shows a typical feature for subduction-zone earthquakes; the high response values are observed along the Pacific coast of north Japan. This feature is explained by the S-wave attenuation structure beneath north Japan; that is, the path effect. On the other hand, the long-period (T=20sec) velocity response distribution shows a peculiar feature: at comparable distance, the response values in the northern part of the epicenter are higher than those in the south-western part. This peculiar feature is mainly explained by the source effect; the radiation pattern of long-period Rayleigh waves.
    We find various types of the site effects. A remarkable one is excitation of long-period basin surface-waves at large plains with thick sedimentary layers. The other remarkable one is nonlinear site response. We find mild nonlinear site response at a soft soil site located on flood plain deposits; the nonlinearity is confirmed by comparing the transfer functions for weak and strong motions using the downhole array data. The distinctive nonlinearity is also observed at a not-so-soft soil site located on reclaimed land during the largest aftershock; the accelerogram shows a spiky waveform.

    本研究は保育所の防災・防犯における問題点を整理し,解決策を探るものである.防災に関しては,日常災害,地震災害と火災を主に扱い防犯に関しては部外者侵入の抑制に関して検討を加えた.16年度から引き続き,保育所における災害・犯罪に関して,医療現場や建設現場で良く用いられる事故には至らない「ひやり・はっと」事象の収集を行った.父兄からは,直接入力ではなく,紙ベースでのアンケート形式によりヒヤリハットデータの回収協力を得られた.その中でも,事故に至らずとも,非常に危険な事例が多く見られた.今年度はさらに,実際に事故に至った事例も収集した.防災・防犯対策に固執することで,ソフト・ハードの両面が無機的なものとならないよう,園児の知育発達の側面から保育所施設・運営計画を研究した事例等を参考にするべきであるが,昨年度,新築保育所の計画・設計に立ち会う機会を設け,内容を保育士・父兄と議論する機会を得ることができた.その新築保育園の完成に伴い,新築保育園における,育児環境,児童行動状況の把握を行うことを試みた.新築保育園における調査は主に,保育士からのアンケート・ヒアリングにより,事故事例・ひやりはっと事例の収集を行った.それにより,高学年児童と低学年児童のゾーニングが反映された平面計画は非常に保育環境としては優れているものの,全体の集中管理に関しては若干の課題を残していることが判明した.このことは,他の事例からも,ハード的は解決が得られていくものであると考えられる.
    収集事例の保育士へのフィードバックを行った結果,事故事例の収集においては,幸い大事には至らなかったものの,子供特有の行動パターンから,ハード的解決をもっても限界が存在する事例に関し,ソフト的(教育的)な解決を得なければ,将来的にも起こりうるであろうとの,保育士からのコメントを得ることが出来た.

    (1)Research background
    To uncover the mechanism of human injury in buildings damaged by devastating earthquakes is indispensable to the fundamental resolution for prevention of the occurrence of deceased. However, conventional studies formulate the death toll estimation directly from the number of building collapses. Such ridiculous situation would be caused by the fact that there has been no contact in the research field between building structural engineers and disaster medical researchers, and they have been advancing the research under the independent organization each other.
    (2)Objectives of the project
    In order to interdisciplinary discuss the latest results of the research of the earthquake engineering and the disaster medicine. By the application of regression analysis and some statistical work to the database the study secondly tries to propose the death toll estimation model that runs to concrete measures for the human damage reduction. In this project treats the 2004 Barn Earthquake in Iran as an earthquake with masonry structure collapse, the 1999 Kocaeri Earthquake in Turkey as an earthquake with RC structure collapse, and the 1995 Kobe Earthquake in Japan as an earthquake with wooden structure collapse.
    (3)Implementation of the project
    Kickoff meeting :
    To discuss the research plan for 3 years with the researchers in the engineering field and the medical field at the first stage, an interdisciplinary symposium for research exchange was executed by the Japan-U.S.cooperation at the Center for Health Science, the University of Texas. The symposium was held by opening to the public, and the state of the symposium was simultaneously dlelivered to the world through the Internet Web.
    Construction of database :
    Based on the discussion in the symposium, the definition of building damage was redefined from the viewpoint of death occurrence in seismic damage building for the purpose of database construction for clarifying the death occurrence mechanism. The new definition was visualized as a pattern chart of building damage. Following the definition, we rebuilt the database from the information about dead and damage to building in the Kocaeri Earthquake and the Kobe Earthquake. In addiiton, we consolidated the database by adding the concerning data which various research organizations had collected.
    Modeling death toll estimation and its application :
    We elucidated the death causalities by means of event tree analysis for the Kobe Earthquake's database. On the basis of the result, a causal model following the process to death was proposed. That is to say, the death toll estimation model was constructed in multivariate regression model, in which the structural damage pattern of building can be specified as the result for given earthquake ground motion severities at the first step, the volumetric loss of building can be counted by the spatial damage index at the second step, and then the survival rate of inhabitants entrapped in collapsed building can be calculated at the final step. This model is not only accurate in comparison with the conventional simple models, that the collapse of building regulates the number of killed people, but also applicable to various type of buildings in foreign countries by introducing the index of volumetric loss. In addition, this model can help the decision-making for the optimal triage for search and rescue (SAR) activities as a post countermeasure ; because the survival potential of trapped people in collapsed building is affected strongly by the collapsed pattern of building, and the model can provide the information about the collapsed pattern.

    これまでに提案してきた破壊パターンは内部空間の損失を反映した指標であるが、さらに定量的に評価するために、内部空問の損失を評価するW-値を導入し、建物の破壊パターンとW-値との関係を明らかにした。ここで、人的負傷とを関連づけることで、建物被害とは独立した、人間への外力と傷害度との関係が導き出される。ここでは人間の負傷度を医学で用いられる指標(傷害度スコア)を引用し、医学研究者との議論を重ね、内部空間損失と人的負傷との関係を明らかにした。
    以上で地震時の建物被害による人的被害発生のメカニズムが明らかになったが、パターンと傷害度スコアとの関係は、東灘区のデータを利用していることから、一般化を目指し他地域での適用に関して議論した。そこで、対象地域を木造パラメーターの異ならないと思われる地域として、同地震で被害を受けた神戸市長田区を新たに対象地域都市として、GIS上に同様のデータベースを構築し、人的被害を予測した。その結果これまでに利用されてきた手法より精度の高い予測が可能となっている。これまでは木造に関しての解析であるが、1999年トルコ地震におけるRC建物造に関しての建物破壊パターンとW値との関係も議論可能とするべく、一次解析としてRC造の破壊パターンと主要な破壊階と死傷者の関係のデータベースを構築した、RCに関してはさらに詳細な解析を行う準備がある。
    ここで注目する点は精度の向上よりも、メカニズムに踏み込んだ議論をしていることであり、以上により明らかとなった木造建物の地震被害による人的被害発生メカニズムを基に、より安全性の高い破壊パターンを考慮した建物形式、及び既存不適格建物の補強方法を議論することが可能となった。

    北海道の太平洋プレート境界付近で発生する複数の地震に関し、プレート内・プレート以浅、それぞれの地震波伝播経路長を説明変数、地震動強さを目的変数として、関係式を回帰分析により求めた。求められた関係式はおおよそ基盤における地震動分布予測式と考えてよい。また、回帰式と観測値の差を国土数値情報により議論した。
    各地震により求められた、回帰式の係数を目的変数、マグニチュードを説明変数とし、再度回帰式を求めた。この回帰式が、任意の地震、観測点に対して地震動を予測する距離減衰式に相当する。この回帰に際し、震源距離のみをパラメータとした減衰式も作成したが、回帰係数が、本手法と比較し低いことが確認でき、これは本手法が伝播経路の影響を考慮できている為であると理解できる。以上により北海道における広域地震動分布予測式を作成した。
    次に、求めた予測式を他地域に拡張して議論した。日本付近のプレートの沈み込みを北海道地域同様に既往の研究を基にモデル化し、過去の地震による震度分布や強震動データを用い、予測式の汎用性を検証した。特に東北地方では、同様のプレート沈み込み形状を有しており、予測精度が高いことが確認出来た。
    求められた予測式と、震度に対する被害関数を用い、北海道をテストフィールドとして想定地震に対する被害予測を実施した。この被害予測の結果と、既往の距離減衰式による予測結果とを比較し、考察を加えた。本手法による被害予測結果は、より実際の被害に近く、想定地震に対する、防災計画等への援用に有用であることが明らかとなった。

    We have developed a simple method for installing a deep borehole seismometer inside a preexisting well. The developed points are (1)double-casing system down to the well-bottom to protect effects due to well-water movement, (2)boring at the bottom of the preexisting well to install the borehole seismometer, (3)damping system to protect vibration noises propagating the inner casing, and (4)use of an optical fiber cable to transmit the digital data. Our system is easy to install and take up the borehole seismometer.
    We have confirmed our system comparing the seismograms with those by the other borehole seismometers. Micro-earthquake activity beneath Sapporo urban districts has been studied based on data from several borehole seismometers. The epicentral distribution shows a linear trend with the NW-SE direction ; this might represent a blind fault beneath Sapporo urban districts. Finally we have studied the seismic response of sedimentary layers based on surface and borehole seismic data.

    広域地震防災対策の基礎資料として重要な想定地震における広域震度分布図を、精度高く予測するために、地球内部の減衰構造を反映させて作成する手法を開発している。被害地震で得られたアンケート震度データを、大規模減衰構造である太平洋プレートの沈み込み形状を踏まえて解析を行った。
    (1)サイスミックレイトレーサーの作成と伝播経路の計算及び回帰式の作成
    既往の2重深発地震面に関する研究を基に、北海道地域の太平洋プレートの沈み込み形状をプレートとそれより上部という2層にモデル化した。作成したモデルを基に観測点と震源を含む断面を作成し、スネルの法則を用いて2次元内の地震波伝播経路を求める。本年度は、前年度よりさらに広域、高密度に展開するため、経路を求めるためのレイトレーサーを作成し、このレイトレーサーを用いて伝播経路を求めた。求められる伝播経路はプレート内とそれより上部となる。震度を目的変数、求めた経路を2つの説明変数として各地震で回帰式を求めた。ここで、回帰係数から得られる地震規模の評価は従来の震源距離より評価される物より精度が高かった。
    (2)国土数値情報を用いた表層地質分類による補正係数
    さらに、GISソフトにより観測点と国土数値情報を結びつけることにより、求められた回帰式からの観測震度との差を表層地質により分類した。これより地形分類と震度差が密接な関係があることが明らかになり、各地形分類に対する震度の補正係数を導出した。
    (3)他地域への適用
    求められた、各地震における回帰式と表層地質による補正係数を用いて、東北地方の震度分布図を予測し、存在する震度分布図と比較したところ、距離減衰式で求められる予測震度よりも精度の高い予測が行えていることが明らかになった。

    Near field earthquakes bring catastrophic disasters in large urbanized cities. Local governments must prepare the regional mitigation plans on the basis of seismic hazard and risk estimation in order to protect the building environment and the population. In case of Sapporo City, that is our research target, it is difficult to specify the source parameters of near field earthquakes affected the populated area. It is necessary to investigate the influence of indefinite parameters upon the risk assessment.
    In this paper, we enforced an importance of the plural estimation of seismic damages by probable earthquakes occurring near the urban area. Paying attention to the difficulties of taking measures against all of the cases on estimated damages, we gave an example of the rule of making decision about the priority of mitigation plans from the point of view of earthquake engineering and political science. Finally, we applied the Analytical Hierarchical Approach proposed by T.L.Saaty to decision-making on priority measures for earthquake prevention planning.

  • Characteristics of Earthquake Disaster and Problems in Disaster
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
    1998 - 1999
    KAGAMI Hiroshi; TAKAI Nobuo
    Problems on earthquake disasters in rural area are discussed through the experiences due to recent damaging earthquakes attacked Hokkaido, northern Japan. In the field of earthquake disaster engineering, main concern has been focused on the problems in the densely populated area in large cities. It is obvious that in a large city seismic risk is very high because of concentration of vulnerable structures and complex functions. On the contrary in rural area seismic risk is rather small compared with urbanized area in general but there might be different problems due to the situation of isolation and less population in wide area. From the ratio of area, the chance to be attacked by earthquakes is much higher in rural area than in urbanized area. Therefore the problems in the rural area is also important in the earthquake disaster mitigation programs. In Hokkaido, northern most Japan, we had three large damaging earthquakes in 1993 and 1994. These events attacked not only urbanized area but also more wide rural area and caused much damages in primary industrial area. In this paper, problems on earthquake disasters are discussed through the experiences of three earthquakes. Firstly, reconnaissance reports, various data in local government and organizations, newspapers and related statistics are gathered and rearranged. Secondary, damaging and recovery processes and their effects to local society are revealed for each sector and specified problems in rural area are pointed out. Finally, new approach to the disaster mitigation programs in rural area is indicated.

    岡田 成幸; 高井 伸雄
    本研究は地震による建物破壊に起因する人的被害の抜本的低減を目的としており、激震下における人的被害を「建物構造破壊」→「建物内部崩壊」→「生存空間被災」→「人的被害発生」という時系列展開に基づくメカニズムで理解するためのアプローチ法を提言するものである。そのために必要なツールとして、建物の力学的崩壊パターンを数量評価する尺度および崩壊家屋内の生存空間の保存状態を記述する尺度構成を議論する。
    本研究は3ヵ年の研究期間を予定しており、遅滞なく進めるために以下のサブテーマを想定した。
    (1)サブテーマ1 : 基礎資料の構築
    (2)サブテーマ2 : 建物内生存空間の崩壊パターン記述法の考察
    (3)サブテーマ3 : 構造被害-生存空間被害-死傷者の関係考察
    (4)サブテーマ4 : 死傷者発生モデルの検討
    平成11年度は最終年度に当たる。初年度はサブテーマ1の研究遂行のためのデータベース化が主作業であった。2年度はそのデータに基づいた、建物崩壊パターン記述法(サブテーマ2)及び建物被害パターンと建物内人的被害との関係考察(サブテーマ3)のためのデータ収集に力点が置かれた。本年度の成果は、建物崩壊パターン記述法に関し、2年度において得られた木造建物被害パターンに加え、鉄筋コンクリート構造に関する被害パターン分類をトルココジャエリ地震(1999年)の被害写真より20分類し、それぞれのパターンごとに死者発生率を算定した。さらに、阪神淡路大震災の神戸市における航空写真を立体視解析し、人的被害データとコンバインすることにより、木造被害20分類についても、それぞれの死者発生率を求めることが出来た。この結果、従来の被害4分類より推定される死者予測式に比し、格段に精度・信頼度の高い推定式を構成することが出来た。
    また、本研究で提示した分類及び関数は本研究目的以外にも被害調査に一般的に利用できることなどが確認され、研究の副産物として十分意義深いものと位置づけられる。成果の一部は学会誌に投稿した。
