High-frequency Ground Motion Measurements, Assessments and Predictions
High-frequency ground motion is critical for both seismologists, who can understand the source process, and engineers, who need to design structures with high natural frequency or structures hosting safety-related equipment sensitive to high frequency shaking (e.g., nuclear power plant). Although seismologists consider that high-frequency ground motions include frequencies larger than 1 Hz, while engineers are more interested in frequencies larger than 10 Hz, measuring, analyzing and modeling high-frequency ground motions are necessary for advancing the simulation of ground motions at broader ranges of frequencies and improving ground motion models. Particularly, high-frequency seismic waves tend to be affected by near-surface deposits significantly, hence the appropriate modeling and interpretation of high-frequency ground motions are essential to understand site effects more holistically. Thus, this session invites investigations on any aspects of the assessment of high-frequency ground motions and the improvement of current practices in site response estimations, which may include: (1) the variability in observations of high frequency ground motions, (2) the simulation of high-frequency ground motion, (3) the search of optimal site proxies to characterize site effects affected by shallow or deeper geologic structures, (4) numerical or empirical studies on 2D/3D site effects and the integration of the corresponding results into seismic hazard assessment, (5) site-specific ground motion prediction at high frequencies and its associated uncertainties, (6) in-situ characterization of attenuation, (7) ground motion models with explicit consideration of site attenuation and (8) near-surface and regional attenuation of seismic waves modeled with attenuation parameters such as the high-frequency spectral decay parameter kappa or the seismic quality factor, Q.
