Abstract

Accuracy in evaluation for the ground motion intensity is very important to estimate the seismic performance of wooden houses based on their earthquake damage. We investigate the ground motion characteristics at Hino-town, which are located near the epicenter and the most heavily damage area during the 2000 Western Tottori Prefecture Earthquake. First, the S-wave velocity structures of the soil are estimated by the surface wave method using artificial sources and array observation of ambient vibrations. Second, the effects of ground motion amplification in the surface soil on the wooden houses response are demonstrated to be insignificant. Finally, the observed ground motions at the TTRH02 station, whose PGV is more than 100 cm/s, are proved to be consistent with the damage of wooden houses in Hino town.
