These records can be applied to site effect analyses, and then the site classification of those permanent stations can be carried out firstly, which will served as the fundamental information for further research. In this paper, the site of near-fault stations is classified by horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio （HVSR） method according to the site class description of Japan earthquake resistant design code and response spectral shapes （RSS） method following the site class description of the 1997 Uniform Building Code （UBC） provisions. Then based on the detailed borehole data of those free-field stations, the equivalent shear wave velocity and overburden thickness are calculated and the site classifications are given by Chinese code for seismic design of buildings. Furthermore, for the stations having successful microtremor test data, the site dominant periods are computed to verify the results of site classification. Finally, combined with all the above results, the recommended site classes of near-fault permanent free-field stations are given.展开更多

In view of the problem of insufficient statistic samples due to fewer qualified strong earth- quake records on the bedrock site, it also proposes that according to the features of ground motion response of the soil, the acceleration records on the soil site can be transformed into the equivalent acceleration records on rock site for a simultane- ous statistic analysis together with the records on rock site. Consequently, we have obtained by this method the near-source peak acceleration and the acceleration response spectra of small and moderate earthquakes on the site that could meet the need of nuclear facility and made a comparative analysis to the results from relevant researches. This new method for deter- mining diffuse earthquakes is only preliminarily verified in the paper and further research is needed for practical application.展开更多

Based on the written records, the relationship between earthquake and volcanic eruption is discussed in the paper. Fur-thermore it is pointed that earthquake swarm is an important indication of volcanic eruption. Therefore, monitoring volcanic earthquakes is of great significance for forecasting volcanic eruption.展开更多
