- 1) Stats. ment of Preblem i
- u. : .
Despite the fact that there is g:cd evidence of present day c:n-vergencs of the Juan de Fuca and North America.n platas, thers has been remart ably little historic seismic activity alcng the shallcw part of . ;
the Juan de Fuca subducticti i:ne. Althcugh it is icpessible to rule
' cut the possibility ef aseisiiric creep, we find that the Juan de Fuca '
'~
subduction zone shares many features with other subducticn :enes which both have been 1cekW and- have experiencad great earthquakes (Heat:n .
and Xanameri,190; icc.;1uded as an appendix). ,We propese to study the possibTe scurca charactaristics and ensuing str:ng ground =cticns and Tsunami ha:ards for hypothetical great shaI1cw subducticn ::ne earthquakes off the c:ast,cf Washingten and Orugen.
Tne first phase =f the study will define the gecme y and dimen-siens of potential rupture area'r.-- We wili also acta =pt to chahetarize the naturs cf rupture hetaregeneity which can 'he expectad. In the '
sec:nd phase, we will estimata the natue of ground metiens which may result by c:mparing the northwestarn U.S. with other subducticn :enes fcr which strong metien rec:rds are available. In the third phase, we will synthesi:e ground :nctions fer hypothetical great earthcuakes by stcaing the respensas of individual seg=ents of the pr pesad rupture sur'sca. The responses of individual seg=ents will be approxi=ated both by actual recordings of mcderata-si:ed earthquakes and also by numerical calculation of the theoretical response of layered c ustal s: ucture 4 (:cint, dislocations. ~

- 2) Ime=rtanca of the Pr:blem ts Freeram Goals u .
This resear:h is directly motivated by the licensing precadure for the Washington Public Pcwer Supply System System Nuclear Freject No. 3 located at satsop, Washingt:n. The possibility cf large shallow subduc- .
tien zona earthquakes was excluded in the design phase of this facility. -
However, new study of the nature of the Juan de Fuca subduction ::ne indicatas that such events may be possible. E3timates of ground shaking fr:m large subduction zones earthquakes are of central importance in the licensing review of this plant. Furthemers, due to the nature of this probles, this research is relevant ts earthquake ha:ard estimatien thr: ugh-cut the entira western parts of 'dashingt:n and Ortgen.
This includes the cur tr.tly operating Trojan nuclear plant in Oregen.

Work on this project f'a]1s naturally into three catsscries.
In this phase of the work we will
CharactaH:ation of the seures ;:
- c:nstruct models of the feasible ructura parametars of shallcw thrust F We will include para- I earthquakas on the Juan de Fuca subduction : ne.
metars such as fault length, fault dip, fault width, average stress Constraints on these parameters will drop, and rupture hetaregeneity.
That is we will be investigated by studying other subduction :cnes. J asstme that rupture characta-jstics of Juan de FucaJsubductica :ene events will be similar to ruptura characteHstics seen for other subduc- !
Physical charactaristics tien :enes with similar physical charactaHstics.
which will be cc= pared are; ari~df subducted lithesphers, r:tc cf con .
vergenca, fault dip, tcpegraphy of the subducted plata, gec=etry of the accretionary wedce, nature of marine tarracas, and tamporal and spatial There are gecd reascns to suspect that these pattert; of seismicity.
physical charactaristics art clcssly related to the rupture parametars of shdlew subduction earthquakas (sas accoganing paper by lienten and Kanascri). If subduction :cnes with similar physical charactaristics can be found, then the nature of rupture hataregeneity for events en tiese :enes will be charadri:nd by stWing the taleseismic body wave radiation from these events.
F.arthquaka recurrenca ratas will be esti=ated using esti=atas of the f plata convergenca rata t:ssther with esti= stas of recture dimensiens.
We will use several precadures F.stimation of streno creund metiens
[ The first precadure is described by ts estimata streng ground motion.
Heaten et al. (1983). ' In this precadun a suita of str:ng motien rec rds i

1 medicn, standard deviation, etc. Of varicus str:ng motion parametars.'"
An example of this pr:cedure is given in Table 1. In this exa=ple, records fr:m strike-slip earthquakes have been scaled to a distance of 50 k:n and earthquake magnitude of 65.* Recor'ds were chosen so that little scaling was necessary. The suita' of scaled response spectra is shewn in Figure 1. The average spectrum, average plus one standard devi,a*'en spectrum, spectr.:n of the largest single rec:rd, and the spectr.:n which envelops all others are '
shown in Figure 2. Although the scatter may seem large, it is an ac:urata representation of the range of moticns that have been observed at 50 km fr:m magnitude Si stM ke-slip earthquakes. 1 This same pr:cedure will be applied to c:nstruct suites of str:ng 4 tica reemeds fr:m subducticn zenes. These rec:rds are principally fr:m Japan.
In Figure 3 we shew a c:=parison of ;eak ac:elerstien plotted as a ,
functicn of distanca,and magnitude, for gr und =ctions rec:rded in Japan and 1 the western U. S. We see that magnitude and distance scaling relatienships 1 seem to.be similar in Japan and the western, U.S. We aisc see that there is sufficient data to simulate subducticn :ene earthquakes with =agnitudes un to ateut 71, provided that the distanca is greater than 50 km. Hewevar fer larger earthquakes and smaller scur:e distances, the precedure desc-ibed abcVe is not appropriata. ~
~
Althcugh no rec rds are available for earthquakes of M . 8, we can =ake '
synthetic gr und metiens by sumning ree:rds fr:m ir. aller earthquakes. This type of sunnation has been used with reascnable sue:ess by Hart: ell (1978) and Xanameri (ilg79) en large stMke-slip earcquakes. The technique has ~
aisc been used by Heat:n and also Xanaccri to simuTate gr:und motions f:r \
, subducticn :ene earcquakes for use by Exzen Pr: duction '4esearch Co. '
The basic assumptien in the synthesis pr:cedure is that the motions f =::
a large earthquake are a linear sum of the motions fran smaller earth.cuakes. .
Encugh smaller enrthquakes' are suced so that the sum cf the saismic moments \
cf the s= aller events equals the mcment cf the large event. Timing delays due to rupture and tnval time denlys are included in the sumaticn pr:cass.
The details of the timing assu=ptions in this sumatien pr: cess can, h wever, affect the nature of the final product. In cr' der to disc:ver accrocriate timing assu=:tiens, we will alse c:nstruct synthetic taleseismic bcdy waves

foi great earthquakes by suming bcdy waves fr:m smaller events. We 'will
}
require that our medals which produce str:ng ections also pr: vide an adNuate characterization of observed teleseismic body waves.
We will also investigate the feasibility of using the theoretical re-
~
spcases of point dis,1ccatien- squrces as Green's functions for three-dimen-sicnal finite fault simulatiens of very large earthquakes. This technique -
, may be useful if observed recsrds are not available at desired scur:n-station geometries.
Such Green's functions wculd be calculated assuming a hori::ntally-layered earth structure.
The Green's functions would then be integrated over the fault surface in. crder to produce mc 4cns due to a finita rupture surfaca.
These techniques have been used with c:nsiderable su::ess t:
medal rec =rds fr:m moderata-si:ed earthquakes (Heat:n,1952; Hart:all and Heimberger,193?i Ha.- :all and Hest:n,1983).
Evaluatien cf Tsunami ha:a[ In order t: ebtain a' r: ugh esti= ate cf the ha:ard due to local Tsunamis which may be generated by a great shallcw subductica ::ne event, we will search fer subducticn :enes with ecean bott:m pr: files and scur e gecmetries similar ts that fcund in the Juan de Fuca subduction :ene. Local Tsunamis generated' by hist:ric aarthquakes in these other regicas will be catalegued. These Tsunamis will then be scaled t=
ac::unt fer differences in seismic =ci::ent ts c:me up with estimatas of the
- ctanthI heights of T'sunamis that mignt be expected alcng the c

Other c=mnitments or anticicated difficulties that will affect cree or c:moletion of the crofect _
Most c:mputer c des ts manipulate data and c:mpute synthetic ground metiens are written and working. hewever, these c: des must be u; dated.
Further ::cre, we expect ts transfer cur work fr:m the Caltech Prime 750 c:=;utar to a new USGS VAX 11 750 c:h:: uter in the Fall of 1952. Although we he;e that this transitten gces smcethly, there may be . unanticipated delays caused by this.
Digital .ec:rdings of grcund = tiens fr:m subduc-tien ::nes are presently available, but if a larger catalogue bec:mes neces'sary, then esllection of other regcrds may delay cur schedule.
3cth principal i'nvestigatics in this project are also 1/2 time c=ntitted to work in the Seismelegy Branch project entitled, Scuthern California C:cperative Seismic Network Prefect.
Tneir risaarch in this prcject c:very saveral areas, with the eain e.phasis in Pfl984 being re-search ints ;cssible new directicns for seismic networks. Since the Pasadena Field Office is a small office having many.res;cnsibilities, the ociurrence of local emergency situaticns, such as earthcuakes , may affect work schedules en research projects.
