Appendix J ANALYSIS OF INHIBITION OF FAULTING AT FAULT BRANCHES Paul Somerville Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J-1I of 22 ANALYSIS OF INHIBITION OF FAULTING AT FAULT BRANCHES Paul Somerville, URS, 6 April 2009 Objective The branching rupture scenario addressed in this study is one in which rupture begins on the main fault and branches onto the branch fault (with or without continuing to rupture on the main fault past the branch point). For Diablo Canyon, the scenario is one in which rupture begins on the Hosgri fault and branches onto the Shoreline fault. Other modes of branching, for example from the branch fault onto the main fault (e.g. Fliss et al., 2005), are not addressed in this study.Method We first compile a list of fault geometries with branch faulting and observed ruptures, including both cases in which there was rupture on the branch fault and cases in which there was no rupture on the branch fault. Next, we compare the observed cases with the predictions of the Kame et al. (2003) model to assess whether they are consistent with that model. For cases with rupture on the branch fault, we assess its impacts on ground motions recorded near the branch fault based on observed ground motions and previously published simulations.
The Kame et al (2003) Fault Branching Model According to Kame et al (2003), branching of rupture from one fault to another can only occur under certain conditions.
Poliakov et al. (2002) and Kame et al. (2003) have shown that the propensity of the rupture path to follow a fault branch is determined by the preexisting stress state, branch angle, and incoming rupture velocity at the branch location.
The predictions of the Kame et al. (2003) model use the following three parameters:
T = angle between the direction of maximum compressive stress (Smax) and the fault strike (p = angle between the main fault and the branch fault Vr = rupture velocity (expressed as a fraction of the shfear wave velocity cJ)The geometry of these parameters is shown in Figure 1.y, Figure 1. Configuration of a preexisting branched fault system and prestress state. Gray lines indicate potential rupture surface and black line indicates propagating rupture. Source: Kame et al.

Qualitative prediction of the directions over which the larger scale prestress states favor right-lateral shear along bend paths. (a) Fault-normal precompression is dominant, IP >450, allowing rupture to continue along bend paths primarily to the extensional side. (b) Fault-parallel precompression is dominant, PV < 450, allowing rupture to continue along bend paths primarily to the compressional side. The gray zones indicate the angle range where the initial shear stress is larger than the frictional resistance.
Source: Kame et al. (2003).As shown in Figure 2, values of T > 450 generally favor branch faulting on the extensional side of the main fault, while values of TP < 450 generally favor branch faulting on the compressional side of the main fault. Figures 1 through 6 pertain to right-lateral faulting.
For left-lateral faulting, these figures are rotated about the X axis.The predictions of the model for four values of T, namely 560, 450, 25' and 130, are shown in Figures 3 through 6. In each case, the predictions are shown for each combination of four values of yo and three values of rupture velocity c,. The values of p are 30', 150, -15', and -300, and the values of vr are 0.6c,, 0.8 c,, and 0.9 cs. The branch fault is on the compressional side of the fault for positive values of (P, and on the extensional side of the fault negative values of p. These figures show final rupture traces in the vicinity of the intersection of the main fault with the branch fault. Lstop indicates the length of arrested rupture, given in terms of the slip-weakening zone size R 0 for low speed rupture along the main fault. Arrested rupture is indicated by the lines that have been highlighted in pink.Application to the Kame et al. (2003) model to the Hosgri -Shoreline Fault Branch Using the Kame et al (2003) model, branching of rupture from the Hosgri onto the Shoreline fault is physically prohibited under the current stress regime. Taking the Sma (orientation of the maximum compressional stress) to be N15E (McLaren, 2001), and strike angles of N25W for the Hosgri and N50W for the Shoreline fault, we obtain 'P =450 and p = +25'. These conditions pertain to Figure 4, top row, which shows rupture continuing on the main fault (shown in black) and strongly inhibited on the branch fault (shown in pink) for all three values of rupture velocity.The statistics of fault branching angles in California have been analyzed by Ando et al.(2009). They find that fault branching angles have a skewed distribution of values that is approximately symmetrical on the compressional and dilatational sides of the fault, with apeak at 170.Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J-3 of 22 High Inclination of S. , 'P =560 Aol -e =0.12!41 -(YOM 0..60-60 40 20 -I0 xIRo 0 10 20 0 II 9-0 9-0 II 9-II I!Y t II I..'0'0 II 1-~II Vr 0.6 c,-1 0 1 2 3 xIR,-I 0 i 2 3 0 ~ ?.rJR,.9 ---E-1 0 1 2 3 xdRo v, =0.8 c,-'__ ___...._-1 0 1 2 3-1 0i?"' 1 .... a. 7 0. 0!.. :.. ......-' ~----------

Source: Kame et al., 2003.Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J-7 of 22 List of Fault Ruptures on Branched Faults Wesnousky (2006; 2008) compiled information on the geometrical characteristics of a set of 37 earthquake surface rupture events, including 22 strike-slip events listed in Appendix 1. The main focus of these studies is on geometrical irregularities and their relationship to the termination of rupture. The focus of his studies was on stepovers, not on fault branching.
The annotation of his fault maps states that adjacent and continuing traces of active faults that did not rupture during the earthquake are shown as dotted lines.However, this does not appear to consistently be the case, for example in the 1990 Luzon earthquake discussed further below. This limits the usefulness of his data compilation for the assessment of branch faulting in our study.From the list of 22 strike-slip events in Appendix 1, we have selected six events involving rupture on branched faults, listed in Table 1. Bold fault names indicate that rupture proceeded on that fault past the branch point. All three possible modes of fault branching behavior are represented in these cases.Mode 1. In three cases, including the 1979 Imperial Valley, 1995 Kobe, and 1992 Landers earthquakes, such rupture occurred on both the main fault and the branch fault (for the Kobe earthquake, the Gosukebashi segment represents the continuation of the Suwayama main fault segment).Mode 2. In the 1990 Luzon and 2002 Denali earthquakes, rupture proceeded onto the branch fault but stopped on the main fault at the branch point.Mode 3. In the 2001 Kokoxili (Kunlunshan) earthquake, the main fault continued to rupture without branching onto the Kitadan fault.The mode 3 case is of most interest to Diablo Canyon, where we would like to know whether a southward rupture on the Hosgri fault would occur without branching onto the Shoreline fault.Table 1. Earthquakes on branched faults EVENT MAIN-FAULT BRANCH REFERENCE FAULT.1979 Imperial Valley Imperial Brawley Kame et al., 2003 1990 Luzon Philippine Digdig Rantucci, 1994 1995 Kobe Suwayama Okamoto Sekiguchi et al., 2000 (Gosukebashi) 1992 Landers Johnson Kickapoo Kame et al., 2003 2001 Kokoxili Kunlun Kitadan Bhat et al., 2007 (Kunlunshan) 2002 Denali Denali Totschunda Bhat et al., 2004 Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J-8 of 22 Comparison of Observations with Theoretical Models of Branch Faulting 1. 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake Rupture in the 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake branched at the junction of the Imperial and Brawley faults, and surface and subsurface rupture proceed on both faults (Archuleta et al., 1984), as shown in Figure 7. The approximate Sma, direction is poorly constrained but may be estimated to be approximately north-south, based on stress directions reported by Hardebeck and Hauksson (1999) along a profile somewhat to the northwest near the Salton Sea. That leads to T' = 37' with the main fault .(the Imperial fault), where it branched, on the extensional side, at approximately (p = -34' onto the Brawley fault. This case corresponds to the results shown in Figure 4, last row, where the simulations show that progression of rupture on both the main fault as well as the branch is expected for all values of rupture velocity, and is enhanced by high values of rupture velocity.
The model prediction is consistent with the observation that rupture continued on the main fault as well as branching onto the Brawley fault.NN b 6 km Sna US_2Mexico

Source: Kame et al. (2003).2. 1990 Luzon Earthquake A location map of faults in Luzon is shown in Figure 8, and a rupture map of the 1990 Luzon earthquake is shown in Figure 9 (Rantucci, 1994). Rupture propagated northward on the Philippine fault and branched off that fault onto the Digdig fault near Rizal. The approximate Sma direction is poorly constrained in this region. Seno (1993) gives a value of about 3000, consistent with the overall relative direction of about 2940 shown by Bird (2003), but measurements shown by Bird et al. (2003) on Luzon vary from 3250 in southeastern Luzon to 2940 in northwestern Luzon. Assuming a value of 2940, and a strike of 3100 for the Philippine fault, we obtain 'P = 160. The Digdig fault branches from the Philippine fault at an'angle (p = +150 (the Philippine fault is a left-lateral fault, so the Dig-dig fault is on the compressional side). This case corresponds to the results shown in Figure 6, second row from the top, where the simulations show that progression of rupture only on the branch is expected for values of rupture velocity of 0.6c, and 0.8cs.For these conditions, 1 he model prediction is consistent with the observation that rupture branched onto the Digdig fault without continuing on the Philippine fault. For a rupture Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J-9 of 22 velocity of 0.9cs, there is weak tendency for rupture to also propagate on the main fault.If the direction of is T' as much as 250, which is within its range of uncertainty, then the Kame et al. (2003) model would predict rupture to continue on the Philippine fault without branching onto the Digdig fault.The locations of previous earthquakes on the Philippine fault are shown in Figure 9. The segment of the Philippine fault south of Rizal broken by the 1990 earthquake previously broke in 1645, whereas segments of the Philippine fault north of Rizal, which did not break in 1990, previously ruptured more recently, in 1796 and 1892 earthquakes.
This suggests that branching off the Philippine fault onto the Digdig fault in the 1990 earthquake may also have been influenced by the preexisting stress state on the Philippine fault.Fig.-k ;Mlajor tecl,,,: hneawenis en Luzan (PP !- Ph flpp-., kwahL, W -Drgdr; FSult, AF ý Abam Fault, MF -Afanala Faut).f-m Puwongztt,,rn.

Source: Rantucci (1994).3. 1995 Kobe earthquake A fault model of the 1995 Kobe earthquake was developed by Sekuguchi et al. (2000), shown in Figures 10 and 11. The fault model is divided into four main segments, A, B, C, and D (respectively corresponding to the Nojima, Suma, Suwayama, and Gosukebashi faults), and a branch segment, E, corresponding to the Okamoto fault. Of these five fault segments, only the Nojima fault (on Nojima Island) had surface faulting.
Rupture of the remaining segments is inferred from aftershock locations, geodetic data, and the constraints on the location of the intersection of the causative fault planes and the earth surface in the Kobe City area obtained by Sekiguchi et al. (1996a, b). Sekiguchi et al.(2000) showed that inclusion of rupture on the branching Okamoto fault provided an improved fit to seismological and geodetic data.Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J-1 I of 22 135 00 135* 30'Fault Model ', k.k 10km 20km 34 "30 W. 34' W0 135' 00' 135* 30'Figure 10.

Final moment release distribution for the fault model with segments A, B, C, D, and E.Source: Sekiguchi et al., 2000.The fault geometry of the branching fault is shown in Figure 10 (Sekiguchi et al., 1984).The approximate Smax direction is east-west, based on stress directions reported by Seno (2002). That leads to TI = 370 with the main fault (taken as the Suwayama segment), where it branched on the extensional side onto the Okamoto fault. Measured with respect to the strike of the Suwayama fault, the branching angle p is -35', but measured with respect to the Gosukebashi fault, the branching angle (P = -50'. The change in strike of the main fault (between the Suwayama and Gosukebashi faults) at the fault branch is 350.The model of Kame et al. (2003) assumes that the main fault is straight, so their calculations may not be completely applicable to the Kobe earthquake.
This case Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J-12 of 22 corresponds approximately to Figure 4, last row, where the simulations show that progression of rupture on both the main fault as well as the branch is expected for all values of rupture velocity, and is enhanced by high values of rupture velocity.
The model prediction is consistent with the inference by Sekiguchi et al. (2000) that rupture branched onto the Okamoto fault as well as continuing on the Gosukebashi fault.4. 1992 Landers earthquake The fault geometry of the Landers earthquake, based on Sowers et al. (1994), is shown in Figure 12. Smax is taken from stress orientations in the Landers region determined by Hardebeck and Hauksson (2001) to be at approximately T = 600 with the trace of the Johnson Valley fault where it branched to the extensional side onto the Kickapoo fault, with the angle p = -30'. The rupture also continued a few kilometers on the main (Johnson Valley) fault. This case corresponds to the results shown in Figure 3, last row, where the simulations show that progression of rupture on both the main fault as well as the branch is expected for all values of rupture velocity.
The model prediction is consistent with the observation that rupture continued on the main fault as well as branching onto the Kickapoo fault.Rupture died out on the Johnson Valley Fault a short distance after branching, which remains unexplained by the model. However, Kame et al. (2003) cited King et al.'s (1994) finding that a region of negative stress change occurs on the northwest continuation of the Johnson Valley Fault. The dynamic rupture was arrested shortly after propagating into that region of negative stress change. The negative stress changes are modest, of the order of 0.1 MPa, but may be related to why the rupture arrested.Landers 1992/,1-1Sin -Figure 12.

Earthquake Rupture propagated eastward on the Kunlun fault past its junction with the Kitadan fault, without branching onto the Kitadan fault (Xu et al., 2002; Bhat et al., 2007; Figure 13).The stepover of a few km between the Kunlun and Kitadan fault is considered to be insufficient to have hindered branching.
The maximum compression direction
'P with respect to the strike of the Kunlun fault near the junction was estimated by Bhat et al.(2007) to range from approximately 300 to 45'. The branching angle of the Kitadan fault is tp = -10'. This case corresponds to Figure 4 or 5, third row from top. In Figure 5, for= 25', rupture on the branch fault is inhibited for Vr = 0.6cs and 0.8c,, and partly inhibited for Vr = 0.9cs. In Figure 4, for ' = 45', rupture on the branch is inhibited only for partly and only for Vr = 0.8cs. The model prediction may be consistent with the observation that rupture continued on the main fault without branching onto the Kitadan fault. It is also possible that the rupture velocity was supershear at the fault branching point (Bouchon and Vallee, 2003). More information about this case is needed to obtain a definitive conclusion.

Epicenter is indicated by a red triangle so that rupture propagated mainly to the east 6. 2002 Denali earthquake Bhat et al. (2004) analyzed the observed dynamic slip transfer from the Denali to Totschunda faults during the Mw 7.9 3 November 2002 Denali fault earthquake, Alaska (Figure 14). They used 2D numerical simulations of the rupture processes in the vicinity of the branch junction.
The angle ' between the maximum compression direction and the strike of the Denali fault near the junction was estimated to be 700 and 800 for their numerical simulations.
The rupture velocity at branching is not well constrained but has been estimated to average about 0.8c, throughout the event. They used values of 0.6cs 0.8c,, 0.9cs and 1.4 c, in their simulations.
The assumed branching angle of the Totschunda fault was 9 = 15'. Except for 700 and 0.9cs, all of their simulations predicted that the rupture path branches off the Denali fault onto the Totschunda fault. For all of these conditions, the model prediction is consistent with the observation that rupture branched onto the Totschunda fault without continuing on the Denali fault. For 70' and 0.9cs, rupture continued on the Denali fault as well as branching onto the Totschunda fault, but the rupture speed on the Denali fault was slower than that along the Totschunda fault and the slip was less.The calculations of Kame et al. (2003) do not cover angles T as large as 70' and 800.The Denali case corresponds most closely to the results for ' = 540 shown in Figure 3, Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J- 14 of 22 third row from the top, where the simulations show that progression of rupture mainly on the branch is expected for values of rupture velocity of 0.6c, and 0.8cs, with a weak tendency for rupture to propagate on the main fault. For these conditions, the model prediction is consistent with the observation that rupture branched onto the Totschunda fault without continuing on the Denali fault. For a rupture velocity of 0.9cs, there is weak tendency for rupture to also propagate on the main fault.Figure 14. Rupture path, shown as a solid red line, of the Mw 7.9 Denali fault earthquake.

Figure 15 shows the calculated contributions from the Brawley fault at stations of the El Centro array. At station E05, the 530 component was most affected, whereas the 3230 component at E06 was most affected.This was explained as resulting from radiation pattern effects by Archuleta (1984).Figure 16 illustrates the contribution of the Brawley fault to the total motion at stations E06 and E07. The total synthetic seismogram is divided into the contributions from the Imperial fault and from the Brawley fault. The Brawley fault made a large contribution to the peak velocity on the 3230 component at E06, and to the 530 component at E05 (not shown in Figure 16, but indicated in Figure 15).BRRILEY FRULT SYNTHETICS 3250 a to 20 so I I I I s3 0 0 IQ 20 30 5 1 1.

-Okamoto fault Sekiguchi et al. (2000) simulated the near-source ground motion using 3-D FDM (Pitarka et al., 1998) to estimate the effect of slip on the Okamoto fault on the ground motions, based on Iwata et al. (1999). The slip on the Okamoto fault affected the ground motion in the eastern part of Kobe (Nada and Higashi-Nada wards), Ashiya, and Nishinomiya cities, but its contribution was not dominant, even in those regions, constituting about 30 to 50%of the maximum velocity at 0.1 to 1.0 Hz. Figure 17 shows the contribution of the Okamoto fault (segment E) to the total synthetic ground velocities at station KBU. The contribution is about 30% on the North component, and very small on the east component.
The contributions of each fault segment to the calculated peak velocity throughout the region is shown in Figure 18.EW NS UD KBWJ A E Figure 17.

In three cases, including the 1979 Imperial Valley, 1995 Kobe, and 1992 Landers earthquakes, such rupture occurred on both the main fault and the branch fault. In all three of these cases, the observations are consistent with the Kame et al. (2003) model. In the 1990 Luzon and 2002 Denali earthquakes, rupture proceeded onto the branch fault but stopped on the main fault at the branch point. The Denali earthquake observations are consistent with the Kame et al.(2003) model, and the Luzon earthquake observations are also potentially consistent, but the uncertainty in the stress field orientation renders this inconclusive with current data.Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix J Fault Splay Analysis Page J- 18 of 22 In the 2001 Kokoxili (Kunlunshan) earthquake, the main fault continued to rupture without branching onto 'the Kitadan fault. The Kokoxili earthquake observations are potentially consistent with the Kame et al. (2003) model, but the uncertainty in the stress field orientation renders this inconclusive with current data. The Kokoxili earthquake is the only case of the six that is directly relevant to the Hosgri -Shoreline branch, where we expect that rupture will continue on the main fault and be inhibited on the branch fault.In the cases of the Imperial Valley and Kobe earthquakes, the contribution of the branch fault to the ground motions of the earthquake as a whole appear to have been locally.fairly large, up to about one-half the overall ground motion level.References Ando, R., B.E.

To facilitate combining the residuals from different earthquakes, the directivity model used a normalized directivity parameter, X, given by the ratio of the length of the rupture toward the site, S, to the total rupture length, L, as shown in Figure K-1.Somerville et al. (1999) used the following functional form for the directivity effect for the average horizontal component:
ln(Dir Factor)= c 1 -c 2 Xcos(9) (K-1)A short-coming of the Somerville et al. (1997) model is that is did not include saturation (with X) that was observed in numerical simulations conducted as part of the Bay Bridge hazard studies. Abrahamson (2000) developed an update to the Somerville et al. (1997)model that was. set to include saturation effects constrained for M7.5 earthquakes for a spectral period of 3 seconds.The Abrahamson (2000) model used the following functional form for the base directivity model: D{ F Cl(T)+1l88C 2 (T)X forX<0.4 In (Dir Factor) = C(T)+l.88C 2 (T) 0.4 for X> 0.4 (K-2)where CI(T) and C 2 (T) are the coefficients from the Somerville et al. (1999) model. In addition, Abrahamson (2000) introduced a magnitude-dependent and a distance-dependent taper to the directivity factor: 1 ~for Rrup:3 0km Td(Rrup)=
1-(RruP-30)/30 for30<RrUp
<60km 0 forRrup >60km (K-3)1 forM >_ 6.5 Tm (M)= 1-(Rr.p-30)/30 for6.0<M < 6.5 0 forM < 6.0 (K-4)While the Abrahamson (2000) model captured saturation effects, it did not work well for magnitudes that were not close to M7.5 or for periods not close to 3 seconds.Recently, as part of the NGA project, a new directivity model was developed by Spudich and Chiou (2008) based on the residuals from Next Generation Attenuation Ground Shoreline Fault Zone, Appendix K, Update of the Abrahamson (2000) Directivity Model for Strike-Slip Earthquakes K-2 of 22 Motion Prediction Equations (NGA GMPEs). As part of the NGA project, this model was reviewed by the NGA developers in terms of its applicability to the NGA GMPEs.The Spudich and Chiou (2008) directivity model is more general in that it includes a radiation pattern term. An issue with this model is that it is not centered on zero for average directivity conditions, implying a change in the median ground motion for average directivity conditions.
The NGA developers were unsure of the cause for this shift and how the models should be applied.Watson-Lamprey (2007) evaluated the within-event residuals from the NGA GMPEs following the same approach as used by Somerville et al. (1999). She found that the directivity effect was about one-half as strong as in the Somerville et al. (1999) model.This was not consistent with the strong directivity effects given in the Spudich and Chiou (2008) model.As a result, the NGA developers did not make a recommendation with regard to the applicability of the new directivity model to the NGA GMPEs. Rather, a follow-on project to further evaluate the directivity effect was recommended.
This follow-on project began in 2010 and is scheduled to be completed in 2012. As part of this follow-on project, Abrahamson and Watson-Lamprey developed an update of the Abrahamson (2000) model based on numerical simulations conducted as part of the NGA project.This updated model is described in this appendix.K-2. Numerical Simulations Conducted for the NGA Project To support the NGA ground motion model developers, a large set of 1-D finite-fault kinematic simulations were run for magnitudes 6.5 to 8.2 for strike-slip earthquakes.
The simulations were conducted by three modeling groups: URS, UNR, and Pacific Engineering and Analysis.
Descriptions of the simulation methods used by these three groups are given in Somerville et al. (2005). The URS and UNR simulations for are the fault normal and fault parallel components and the PEA simulations are for the average horizontal component.
In developing the directivity model, only the URS simulations are used.K-2.1 Simulation Cases The simulation cases are listed in Table K-1. The ground motions were computed for a minimum of 20 realizations of the source for each scenario.
One realization of the source includes a slip distribution
-hypocenter combination.
For two ruptures (SC and SD), the minimum number of realizations was increased to 30 because the slip models for these two scenarios includes both deep and shallow ruptures to allow an evaluation of the effect of asperity depth. Shallow rupture is defined as having the center of at least one asperity at a depth of 5 km or less.The hypocenters were constrained to be located in the upper half (positive Y values in Figures 1 and 2) of the rupture with no less than 6 distinct hypocenter locations.
The depth distribution of the hypocenters includes both shallow and deep events.The station locations for the strike-slip are shown in Figures K-2. The stations are located on just one side of the rupture due to symmetry for a vertical strike-slip fault.Shoreline Fault Zone, Appendix K, Update of the Abrahamson (2000) Directivity Model for Strike-Slip Earthquakes K-3 of 22 K-3 Residuals from Simulations The finite-fault simulations lead to a large data set of simulated ground motions. For the evaluation of directivity effects, a regression analysis using a simplified model is conducted and the within-event residuals computed.The directivity scaling from the residuals for T=3 sec for the M7.5 strike-slip scenario (SE) is shown in Figure K-3. The three simulation models show very different directivity effects: the UNR simulations show no directivity effects, the PEA simulations show some directivity effects, and the URS simulations show large directivity effects. The UNR and PEA simulations include randomness in the source that works well for on average, but tends to break up the directivity.
Therefore, only the residuals from the URS model are used for this study.The T=2 second residuals from the URS model are shown in Figures K-4a-d for magnitudes 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, and 7.8, respectively.
These plots show that the directivity factor saturates at about 10 km for all four magnitudes.
Similar plots of the T=5 seconds residuals are shown in Figures K-5a-d. For the longer period; the directivity factor saturates at about 40 km for all four magnitudes.
K-4 Directivity Model The within-event residuals, were to the following functional form using ordinary least-squares: r ln(DirFac)
= [b 2 (T) s cos(9) -b 1 (T)]T 1 (Rrup)T 2 (M) (K-5)where M is the moment magnitude, RRup is the rupture distance, s and 0 are the length and angle for segments of the rupture between the site and the hypocenter as described below.The s and 0 terms are computed from the geometry of the site, rupture, and hypocenter.
First, the closest point on the rupture to the site is found. The surface projection of this point is called P 1.Next, move along the rupture segments toward the epicenter until either the length of the rupture reaches the saturation distance, so, or the epicenter is reached. This point is called P 2.The s term is the length of rupture between points PI and P 2 measured along strike, not just the distance between P 1 and P 2; and 0 is the angle between the line P 2-Site and P 1-P 2 (see Figures K-5 and K-6). The saturation distance, so, is given by so = M1N(c,, 10 + 20 (M -6.0)) (K-6)Distance and magnitude tapers are applied to limit the directivity effect. The tapers are given by: Shoreline Fault Zone, Appendix K, Update of the Abrahamson (2000) Directivity Model for Strike-Slip Earthquakes K-4 of 22 f 1 forRr u p 10knm T,(RruP)={(Rrup-10)/30 forlOkm<Rrup
<40km 0 forRrup > 40km (K-7)1 forM >_ 6.5 T2(M)= 2(M-6) for6.0<M<6.5 0 forM _ 6.0 (K-8)This model provides a good fit to the directivity effect seen in the URS residuals, but it has the same issue as seen in the Spudich and Chiou (2008) model: the mean of the model is not zero over uniformly distributed stations.
If this model is applied to the NGA models, then in addition to capturing the directivity effects, there is a shift in the average groumd motion.The goal of this study is to develop directivity factors that can be applied to the NGA GMPEs without changing the median ground motion for average directivity conditions.
To this goal, the directivity model derived from the simulation residuals was adjusted to remove the mean value for randomly located sites. The directivity model was applied to a uniform grid of sites within 40 km of the rupture, spaced 1 km apart and the mean of the model predictions was computed.
The mean was then fit to the following functional form: Mean = [exp(al + a 2 (8.5- M)2)+ b T (R,,up)T 2 (M) (K-9)The resulting directivity model, centered on zero, has the following form: ln(DirFac)=
[b 2 s cos(9) -exp(al + a 2 (8.5- M)2)kT (R)] ,) T 2 (M) (K-10 )The coefficients of the model are listed in Table K-2.The directivity model, given by equation K-10 is compared to the Somerville et al. (1999)and Abrahamson (2000) directivity models in for M6.5 earthquakes Figures K-7a-c for spectral periods of 1, 3, and 5 seconds, respectively.
Similar plots are shown in Figures K-8a-c for M7.5 earthquakes for spectral periods of 1, 3, and 5 seconds, respectively.
These figures show that the main difference between the new model and the Abrahamson (2000) model is that the saturation distance in the new model varies as a function of period.The period dependence of the directivity models is compared in Figure K-9. This figure shows that the new Mrodel has a peak in the directivity effect as different periods depending on the magnitude.
For the larger magnitude earthquakes the peak in the directivity factor is at longer periods than for moderate magnitudes.

- 28. 2004 Appendix L-1 Deer Canyon Earthquakes of October 18, 2003 Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix L-1 Deer Canyon Earthquakes Page LI-1 of 21 Diablo Canyon Power Plant Deer Canyon earthquakes of October 18, 2003 Two small (ML 3.4). earthquakes occurred on October 18, 2003 at 12:27 and 12:38 AM PDT (07:27 and 07:38 GMT). The events are located approximately 4 km east of Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), in the region northwest of Deer Canyon. Both earthquakes were felt in the Unit 1 control room; the second event triggered strong motion -instruments at the plant site. The earthquakes are part of a sequence of 14 small earthquakes that occurred between October 12 and October 24, 2003. The following is a report describing the earthquake sequence and strong motion recordings from the plant.Earthquake Sequence The Deer Canyon earthquakes were recorded by the PG&E Central Coast Seismic Network (CCSN). The CCSN has operated since 1987 as part of the PG&E Long Term Seismic Program. The CCSN data are augmented by recordings from the U.S.Geological Survey's (USGS) Northern California Seismic Network (NCSN). The CCSN consists of 20 seismographic stations, including five dual-gain 3-component stations (large triangles in inset to Figure 1). The addition of the CCSN, including the three-component stations greatly improves the accuracy of the earthquake locations in the region around DCPP.The earthquakes are located using the velocity model and station corrections from McLaren and Savage (2000). Duration magnitudes (MD) also are estimated from the CCSN data. The earthquake location parameters for the 14 events in the sequence are listed in Table 1. Events 1, 4, 5, 11, 12, and 13 (Table 1) were recorded by both the CCSN and NCSN; the combined data from the two networks were used in the locations for these six events.The Deer Canyon earthquake locations generally are well constrained.
Except for event 6, all of the events have small (<1 km) horizontal and vertical depth errors and all have low (<.20 sec) Root Mean Square (RMS) residuals.
Except for event 14, all have at least 1 S-wave reading from a station that is at about 1 focal depth distance from the epicenter, providing good depth control.Figure 1 shows the Deer Canyon sequence with previous earthquakes for the period 1987 to the present. The previous earthquakes were located using the same velocity model and station corrections as the current sequence.The two magnitude 3 earthquakes of October 18 have similar characteristics.
The USGS local magnitude (ML) for both events is 3.4 (http://usgs.wr.gov);
the duration magnitudes (MD) from the CCSN for the two events are 3.4 and 3.3 for the 12:27 AM and 12:38 AM events, respectively.
The earthquake depths also are similar: 6.5 and 6.7 km. (The USGS website reports depths of 2.3 and 2.5 kin, respectively, however, due to the better coverage of the combined network and S-wave data, our depths are more accurate.)
Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix L-1 Deer Canyon Earthquakes Page L 1 -2 of 21 Lastly, the focal mechanisms of the two events (events 4 and 5 of Figure 2) both show normal oblique slip.The Deer Canyon sequence consists of 14 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 0.4 to 3.4. Three small earthquakes preceded the October 18 magnitude 3 mainshocks:
two on October 12 with magnitudes of 2.3 and 0.5, and one magnitude 1.7 event on October 17. Nine aftershocks have occurred up through October 24 with magnitudes less than M2.6. The first preshock (event 1 of Table 1) occurred in the same depth range (6.5 km)as the two magnitude 3 earthquakes.
The second two preshocks and nearly all of the aftershocks are located in a narrow depth range at about 3.7 km; the exception is event 11 that was located at a depth of 8.9 km. This deeper event was located away from the other aftershocks, about 7 km NW of the mainshocks (Figure 1).The Deer Canyon earthquakes occurred within the San Luis/Pismo structural block. The San Luis/Pismo structural block is one of three distinct uplifting structural blocks of the Los Osos domain (Lettis et al, 2001). The block is bounded on the west by the Hosgri fault zone and on the northeast and southwest by west-northwest-trending, high-angle reverse Quaternary faults (Los Osos and Southwest boundary fault zones of Figure 1);crustal shortening is accommodated primarily by reverse faulting along the northwest trending block margins, (Lettis, et al. 2001).The San Luis/Pismo block is highly fractured.
Figure 1 shows the Deer Canyon sequence and the previous earthquakes.
The previous seismicity shows scattered activity across the San Luis/Pismo block; the Deer Canyon earthquakes locate within this region of previous activity.Cross section AA' perpendicular to the long axis of the block (Figure 1) shows that the previous seismicity is approximately uniformly distributed in depth. The depth range of the main Deer Canyon sequence, from 3.4 to 6.7 km, is consistent with the depth range of the previous seismicity.
Earthquakes occurring within the block generally have had a variety of focal mechanisms (Figure 2). The normal oblique mechanisms for the magnitude 3 events on October 18 and the reverse mechanisms of aftershocks 11 and 13 are consistent with the mechanisms of past earthquakes in this region.Strong ground motion Both earthquakes were felt in the Unit 1 control room; the operators reported that the second event was the stronger.
The first event did not trigger the seismic instruments.
The second event did not trigger the Basic Seismic System analog recorder (Kinemetrics SMA) in the control room, however the Kinemetrics digital recorders (SSA) at the Unit 1 containment base, top of containment, the au'xiliary building, and the free-field pit location (near the fitness trailer) did trigger on the second event. According to David Castleman of Kinemetrics, Inc., the SMA system worked properly; however, the system did not trigger because the containment base ground motions contained significant energy Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix L-1 Deer Canyon Earthquakes Page L 1-3 of 21 outside the 1.0 to 10.0 Hz bandwidth of the SMA trigger. The Supplemental System was inoperable at the time of the earthquakes; however, three temporary accelerometers (TerraTech GSR- 18), located in the Auxiliary and the Turbine buildings, recorded the second event. The peak accelerations are listed in Table 2.,The earthquake force monitor (EFM) located in the control room measured 0.02g on the vertical component.
The EFM measurement is from the sensor at the Unit 1 Containment base and does not have the DC offset removed. If the DC offset is removed, the peak acceleration on the vertical component is 0.01 g.The ground motions from the free-field and containment base were corrected by removing the DC offset, filtering the long period noise, and removing the baseline drift.First, the DC offset was removed using the average of the first 50 samples from the pre-event part of the accelerogram.
Next, the accelerograms were high-pass filtered using a 4-pole Butterworth filter with a corner-frequency at 1 Hz. This corner-frequency was selected by evaluating the Fourier spectrum of the unfiltered accelerations which indicated noise at periods greater than 1 second. Finally, the baseline drift was removed using a high-order polynomial (without the constant and linear terms) fit to the displacement waveform.
The corrected acceleration, velocity, and displacement time seismograms for the three components of motion at the free-field stations are shown in Figures 3a, 3b, and 3c. Similar plots of the acceleration, velocity, and displacement seismograms for the Unit 1 containment base are shown in Figures 4a, 4b, and,,4c. These seismograms show that the shaking at the DCPP site had a duration of strong shaking of 3 seconds. The containment base recordings appear to still have long period noise at a frequency of about 1 Hz, that was not completely removed by the filtering (see displacement seismograms in Figures 4a, 4b, and 4c). Additional filtering could remove this noise, but it would also begin to affect the part of the ground motion that is not noise (e.g. at the S-wave arrival).
This noise does not affect the peak values.Table 3 lists the peak accelerations, peak velocities, and peak displacements of the free-field and Unit 1 containment base ground motions after the filtering and baseline corrections are applied. The peak accelerations range between about 1 to 2% g with the largest peak acceleration on the vertical component.
The response spectra were computed for the free-field and Unit 1 containment base recordings.
The 5% damped spectra for the free-field and Unit 1 containment base recordings are shown in Figure 5 and 6, respectively.
The response spectra for this earthquake show very-high frequency content that is typical for an earthquake of this magnitude.
For the free-field, the horizontal spectra peak at about 12 Hz and the vertical spectrum peaks at about 20 Hz. For the Unit I containment base, the peaks are shifted to slightly smaller frequencies.
This shift to lower frequencies is an expected effect of the large foundation.
The ratio of the average horizontal response spectrum from the containemt base to the free-field station is shown in Figure 7. This response spectral ratio shows the reduction in high frequency content on the containment base compared to the free-field recording.
Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix L-1 Deer Canyon Earthquakes Page L 1-4 of 21 The magnitude of the earthquake is too small to reliably use standard empirical attenuation relations to evaluate the strength of the ground motion. As an alternative to empirical attenuation relations, the ground motion can be evaluated using the stochastic point source model (Boore, 2000). The stochastic model is used to estimate the ground motion expected for a (moment) magnitude 3.4 earthquake at a hypocentral distance of 7.8 km for typical rock site conditions in California.
The response spectrum computed for a stress-drop of 120 bars and a kappa of 0.042 seconds is compared~to the average horizontal spectrum from the free-field recording in Figure 8. This comparison shows that the frequency content of the free-field ground motion is consistent with the expected frequency content for a magnitude 3.4 earthquake with a kappa value that is typical of California rock sites. The level of shaking is consistent with a stress-drop of 120 bars. A stress-drop of 120 bars is higher than average for California earthquakes, but it is within the range of observed stress-drops for small magnitude events. The underestimation of the ground motion at frequencies less than 3 Hz may indicate that the moment magnitude is greater than 3.4 (e.g. the ML may be underestimating the moment magnitude for this event). If the moment magnitude is 3.5, then the fit to the lower frequencies is improved and the stress-drop is reduced to 85 bars which is close to the average stress-drop for small earthquakes in California.
Conclusions The occurrence, location, and magnitude of the October 18, 2003 Deer Canyon earthquakes is not a surprise as the sequence of earthquakes is consistent with our understanding of the tectonic framework in the region around DCPP. The events occurred in the San Luis/Pismo block, which is a region of previous seismicity.
Additional small earthquakes are expected to occur in this block.The ground motions from the second event (12:38 AM) are typical for ground motions from a magnitude 3.4 earthquake at a distance of 7.8 km on a rock site condition.

The earthquake, called the San Simeon Earthquake, was located approximately 50 km NNW of Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), in the region 11 km northeast of San Simeon, at a depth of about 7 km. The San Simeon Earthquake is the largest earthquake measured in the San Simeon region.The second largest earthquake in this region was the 1952 Bryson Earthquake of local magnitude (ML) 6.2, approximately 8 km north of the 2003 epicenter.
The San Simeon Earthquake was widely felt from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Earthquake ground effects included landslides and related ground failure near the epicenter, however no surface faulting was observed.
Most of the damage occurred in Paso Robles, 39 km ENE of the epicenter.
Two deaths have been confirmed due to a building collapse.
The earthquake was also strongly felt at DCPP in the Administration Building and the Control Room. Strong motion instruments at the plant site were triggered.
The main shock initiated a rupture at a depth to the southeast and triggered a vigorous aftershock sequence that extends about 30 km southeast of the main shock. As of December 26, 2003, approximately 960 aftershocks have occurred, including about 120 magnitude (M) 3 events and 19 M 4 earthquakes.
During the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the activity was about 50 percent higher than the average for a California sequence according to the US Geological Services online report, December 24, 2003, (http://www.usqs..qov/).
The San Simeon Earthquake was a reverse fault event beneath the Santa Lucia Mountains.
It occurred along a NW-SE trending fault plane that dips either to the SW or NE. This is a common fault mechanism along this trend. (Reference 1).Figure 1 shows the location of the main shock and first 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> of aftershocks.
There is concentrated activity near the main shock and at the southeast end of the aftershock zone. Most of the aftershocks near the main shock are located between the Oceanic and Nacimiento fault zones, whereas the earthquakes to the southeast are not as constrained by the faults. It is not clear which fault, if either, was the cause of the earthquake.
The aftershock patterns in depth view (Figure 1, cross sections AA' and BB') show diffuse activity above the main shock and no obvious fault plane. The closest distance from the aftershock zone to DCPP is about 38 km.Strong Ground Motion The main shock was felt in the Units 1 and 2 Control Room. It triggered the basic seismic system analog recorder (Kinemetrics SMA) in the Control Room and the Kinemetrics digital recorders (SSA) at the Unit 1 containment base, top of containment, the Auxiliary Building, and the free field pit locations (near the Fitness Trailer).
The supplemental system was out of service at the time of the earthquake, however, three temporary accelerometers located in the Auxiliary and Turbine Buildings and a 1 Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix L-2 San Simeon Earthquake Page L24 of 12 Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-03-182 permanent instrument in the basement Of the 500 kV Switching Center triggered.
The supplemental system is currently inoperable and replacement parts are obsolete; both the basic and supplemental systems are scheduled to be replaced in January 2004 with new instrumentation.
The earthquake force monitor (EFM) located in the control room measured 0.04g on the horizontal component.
The EFM measurement is from the sensor at the Unit 1 containment base and does not have the baseline drift removed. With the baseline shift removed (but prior to filtering), the peak acceleration on the horizontal component is 0.042g. Table 1 lists the peak accelerations, peak velocities and peak displacements of the free-field and Unit 1 containment base ground motions after filtering and baseline corrections are applied. The peak accelerations range between 0.02g and 0.05g, with the largest peak acceleration in the free field, horizontal2 direction.
Regarding the frequency spectrum, the response spectra were computed for the free-field and Unit 1 containment base recordings.
The 5 percent damped spectra for the free-field and Unit 1 containment base recordings are shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.
The response spectra for this earthquake show a typical spectral shape for rock sites.For the free-field, both horizontal spectra and the vertical spectra peak at 4 to 5 Hz.These peaks of the free-field spectra are lower than expected for a magnitude 6.5 reverse earthquake recorded at 38 km distance.
Current attenuation relations for rock site yield median horizontal spectral accelerations that are 1.5 to 2 times larger than the recorded free-field spectra. For the Unit 1 containment base, the spectra peak at 3 to 4 Hz for all three components.
The containment base spectra show amplification in this 3 to 4 Hz range as compared to the free-field spectra. At short frequencies
(< 2 Hz), the spectra from the containment base are similar to the free-field spectra. At high -frequencies (e.g. 10 Hz), the horizontal spectra from the containment base are smaller than the free-field spectra.Conclusions The San Simeon Earthquake is the largest measured in the San Simeon region. The reverse fault motion of the main shock and aftershocks and the aftershock patterns are consistent with previous seismic activity in this region. The free-field ground motions recorded at DCPP are below then median ground motion estimated for this event using current attenuation relations for rock sites.Dr. Norman Abrahamson and Ms. Marcia McLaren of PG&E Geosciences Department are preparing a detailed report of the San Simeon earthquake.
The report will include analyses of the Kinemetrics SMA tape system.

The duration of the main shock was approximately 22 seconds. During this time, numerous alarms were received on both units. Many of the alarms were associated with movement of fluid levels in various systems. When the seismic activity stopped, the alarms that were received cleared and returned to normal.Operations responded by dispatching people into the power plant to visually verify systems that had received level alarms. Examples of the level alarms include; spent fuel pools, electro-hydraulic (EH) control system, and startup transformer 1-1.Operations took action to restore the operation of the Unit 2 EH pumps that had tripped off line due to a low-low system level lockout. This low-low system level lockout was due to the motion of the EH fluid; there were no leaks from the system. All other investigations to alarms revealed no leakage from systems and no damage caused by the earthquake.
It was noted that the seismically-induced wave action in the Unit 1 spent fuel pool was of sufficient magnitude to cause a small amount of water to splash up onto the surrounding deck of the pool. Plant personnel were dispatched to clean this area.Per Casualty Procedure (CP) M-4, "Earthquake," a walkdown of the facility was conducted.
All systems continued to operate normally.
No visible damage was discovered.
Operations personnel performed inventory checks required by CP M-4; no systems were found to be leaking as a result of the earthquake.
DCPP Fire Department personnel conducted plant walkdowns, including both containment structures to verify the continued integrity of fire protection features.
No observable damage was discovered within the power plant and containment structures.
No fire protection impairments were found. Operations personnel also performed an inventory of the diesel fuel oil storage tanks. No abnormalities were observed.Seismic Monitoring Instrumentation Response: The main shock triggered the basic seismic system analog recorder (Kinemetrics SMA)in the Control Room and the Kinemetrics digital recorders (SSA) at the Unit 1 containment base, top of containment, the Auxiliary Building, and the free-field pit locations (near the Fitness Trailer).
The supplemental system was inoperable at the time of the earthquake, however, three temporary accelerometers located in the Auxiliary and Turbine Buildings and a permanent instrument in the basement of the control room at the 500 kV Switching Center triggered.
The EFM located in the Control Room measured 0.04g on the horizontal component All functional seismic monitoring instrumentation operated as designed.1 Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix L-2 San Simeon Earthquake Page L2-11 of 12 OUTGOING CORRESPONDENCE SCREEN (Remove prior to NRC submittal)

Shoreline Fault Zone Report, Appendix L-2 San Simeon Earthquake Page L2-12 of 12 r Appendix L-3 Mw 6.0 Parkfield Earthquake of September 28, 2004 Shoreliend Fault Zone Report, Appendix L3 Parkfield Earthquake Page 1-3-1 of 37 Mw 6.0 Parkfield Earthquake of 28 September 2004 Preliminary Report by Geosciences Department, PG&E A (Mw 6.0) earthquake occurred Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 10:15:24 PDT at a depth of 8 km (5 miles) near Parkfield, California (Figure 1). This is the long-awaited Parkfield earthquake.
It is the seventh in a series of repeating earthquakes that have occurred on the Parkfield section of the San Andreas fault at fairly regular intervals in 1857, 1881, 1901, 1922, 1934, and 1966. The first in 1857, was a foreshock to the great Fort Tejon earthquake (Mw 7.9), which ruptured the fault from Parkfield to the southeast for over 180 miles. In 1984 the USGS "predicted" the next Parkfield (M 6.0) earthquake would take place within the time window of 1988 to 1993, therefore, the September 28 earthquake was at least ten years behind the expected occurrence.
The six (M6.0)earthquakes are termed "characteristic" because they all ruptured the same area on the fault and were about the same magnitude.
This September 28 earthquake ruptured the same region as the 1966 event and fits the description of a characteristic Parkfield earthquake.
Strong shaking lasted about 10 seconds. The aftershocks extend along the San Andreas fault from 5km SE of the epicenter to about 25 km NW of the epicenter, at the SE end of the creeping (aseismic) section of the fault.The 2004 earthquake was located by the California Integrated Seismograph Network (CISN) at 35.815N, 120.374W.
This location is 7 miles SSE of Parkfield, and 50 miles NE of DCPP (Figure 1 inset). As of October 5, over 900 aftershocks have been recorded, including two M5 and five M4 events. The two M5.0 events occurred on 9/29 at 10:19 PDT and on 9/30 at 11:54 PDT at about 10 km depth. Both locate to the northwest, 12 and 15 miles, respectively, from the main shock. The CISN focal mechanisms from the main shock and aftershocks indicate*the events occurred on a northwest trending right-lateral strike-slip fault (Figure 2), consistent with motion along the San Andreas fault.Surface rupture of a few cms has been observed at various locations along the fault between the section of the fault 15 km SE of the epicenter to 20 km NW of the epicenter near the 9/29 M5.0 aftershock (Figure 1).Figure 3 shows maps of the shear stress calculations for the 1983 Coalinga earthquake (Mw 6.2) and the 2003 San Simeon earthquake (Mw 6.5). These results suggest that the Coalinga earthquake may have retarded the Parkfield earthquake (Parkfield section in blue, low shear stress zone), while the San Simeon earthquake may have ratcheted up the stress at Parkfield 9 months ago (Parkfield section in red, high stress change zone; Ross Stein, personal communication).
The earthquake was strongly felt in the Parkfield area. No deaths or injuries have been reported to date. The San Miguel Substation was the closest PG&E facility to the event, 18 miles to the west. No damage was reported.
Figure 1 shows that the 500 kV and 230 kV electric transmission lines and the line 306 Gas transmission line cross the fault within about 5 km of the epicenter.
PG&E made field checks and no damage was reported.
The earthquake was felt at DCPP (eg. the Administration building), but was not felt in the control room at the site. The newly installed Consolidated Seismic System Shoreliend Fault Zone Report, Appendix L3 Parkfield Earthquake Page L3-2 of 37 recorded the earthquake on all 19 instruments.
The data are summarized below in the Strong Motion section.Strong Ground Motion In anticipation of the Parkfield earthquake, this part of the San Andreas fault is particularly well instrumented due to the presence of the CISN Parkfield array (Figure 4).Consequently, there are many strong motion recordings of the earthquake.
Although the aftershock patterns are predominantly from the epicenter to the NW, the recorded ground motions are highly variable, suggesting that slip along the fault was complex.A key feature of the near- fault ground motions is the large variability:
near the fault the average horizontal peak accelerations range from 0.1 to 1.3g. The closest station to the epicenter was about 3 km to the NW; it recorded 0.16 g. The highest acceleration of 1.3 g was at the northern end of the aftershock zone, north of Parkfield, about 15 kin from the epicenter.
Two additional stations recorded over 1 g ground motions, within 5 km of Parkfield.
These recordings are near the location of the two M5 aftershocks.
There also was unusually strong ground shaking recorded southeast of the epicenter, suggesting that the rupture was not unilateral.
A peak acceleration of 0.85 g was> recorded 9 km SE of the epicenter, less than 1 km from the fault, and two additional stations to the SE and E of the fault recorded accelerations of 0.84 g and 0.82 g.The free-field peak accelerations recorded at DCPP are compared to other free-field peak acceleration in Figure 5. The distance from DCPP to the Parkfield rupture is about 85 km. This comparison shows that the peak accelerations recorded at DCPP are slightly smaller than other peak acceleration at similar rupture distances.
Also shown in this figure are the peak accelerations predicted by the Abrahamson
& Silva (1997) attenuation relation for a magnitude 6.0 strike-slip earthquake.
Since all the site conditions are not currently available, both rock and soil attenuation relations are shown. Overall, the Abrahamson and Silva model is consistent with the observed PGA values, but it tends to overestimate the peak accelerations at large distances.
DCPP Strong Ground Motion The main shock Was felt in the DCPP Administration building and it triggered the newly installed Consolidated Seismic System (CSS). The location of the new CSS are listed in Table 1 and are shown in Figures 6 and 7.The recordings were processed as follows: 1. Remove the baseline shift.The average acceleration over the first two seconds was used to remove the baseline shift.2. Determine useable frequency band The Fourier spectra of the recordings were computed.
Based on the shape of the Fourier spectra, the reliable frequency band was estimated.
For free-field recordings, high-pass corner frequencies of 0.1 Hz and 0.2 Hz were selected Shoreliend Fault Zone Report, Appendix L3 Parkfield Earthquake Page L3-3 of 37 for the horizontal-and vertical components, respectively.
For the in-structure recordings, high-pass comer frequencies of 0.2 Hz and 0.4 Hz were selected for the horizontal and vertical components, respectively.
For all components, low-pass comer frequencies of 40 Hz were selected.3. Apply a band-pass filter Using the comer frequencies identified in step 2, a band-pass filter is applied to each recording.
A 5-pole Butterworth filter is used.4. Apply baseline correction A baseline correction is applied to the band-pass filtered recordings.
The displacement baseline is modeled using a high-order polynomial without the constant or linear terms.5. Integrate to velocity and displacement The baseline ,corrected recordings are then integrated to velocity and displacement using a time domain integration.
The normalized arias intensity (used to compute the duration) is also computed in this step.6. Compute the response spectra In the final step, the response spectra at 5% damping are computed.Table 1 lists the peak accelerations, peak velocities, and peak displacements of the recordings from the Consolidated Seismic System. The free-field ground motions had peak horizontal accelerations of about 0.006g to 0.011 g after the baseline shift, filters, and baseline corrections are applied. The peak vertical accelerations on the free-field recordings were less than one-half of the average horizontal peak acceleration.
The acceleration, velocity, and displacement time series for the three-components of free-field station ESTA28 are shown in Figures 8-10. The normalized Arias intensity, shown in Figure 11, is used to evaluate the duration of the ground shaking. One common measure of duration is the time interval from the 0.05 to 0.75 level of the normalized Arias Intensity (called the 5-75% duration).
For these recordings, the 5-75% duration corresponds to about 7 seconds.The free-field response spectral values at frequencies greater than 1 Hz recorded at the DCPP site were factors of 2-3 lower than the median response spectral values computed for this earthquake using attenuation relations similar to 'those used in the LTSP (Figure 12). This is partly due to the general over-prediction of the ground motions at large distances by the attenuation relation and partly due to the larger than typical shear-wave velocities at DCPP (the DCPP site has a shear-wave velocity of 4500-5000 ft/s, but the attenuation relations used in the LTSP were based on ground motions primarily recorded on soft-rock and shallow soil sites with shear wave velocity of about 1500-2000 ft/s).Sites with larger shear-wave velocities tend to have smaller ground motions since there is less of an impedance contrast.Shoreliend Fault Zone Report, Appendix L3 Parkfield Earthquake Page L3-4 of 37/
