Abstract
In this paper, we simulated two-dimension numerical on the strong ground motion through the hybrid scheme based on the pseudo-spectral method (PSM) and finite difference method (FDM). We based on the same focal depth, and 2 different thick deposition layers are used as models to analyze the relationship between site situation and the peak displacement of strong ground motion. The results show that the hybrid PSM/FDM method for seismic wavefield simulation combines with advantages of the pseudospectral method and the finite difference method and makes up for the disadvantage of the pseudospectral method and the finite difference method, so this method can process well the calculation of the discontinuous medium surface, then the calculation accuracy is similar to the pseudospectral method. Through the wavefield simulation it is known that the range of the seismic wavefield the peak ground displacement (PGD) of the thicker deposition is larger and the influence of the secondary surface wave at the basin edge is more obvious. The thicker deposition amplitude of strong ground motion in the basin is larger and the duration is longer, and the reflected wave of which is more obvious and stronger. However, the difference of the site condition has little influence to strong ground motion in the horizontal direction.
