Source Conditions of Mid-Period Strong Motion Observed in the Western Edge of Kanto Plain

Abstract eng:
Seismic events greater than M j 6.0 occurred from 1996 to Mar. 2016 in Japan are examined to investigate the source conditions of mid-period (1.6-sec) strong motion observed in a local area which is located in the western edge of Kanto Plain, Japan. It is found that eight events, including the 2011 Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake, generated the mid-period strong motions in the area. Seven out of the eight events have the focal epicenters in the off Pacific coast of Tohoku region. Source parameters and focal mechanisms show that large-magnitude events with low-angle and shallow-thrust fault ocurred in the northeast direction of Kanto Plain generate mid-period strong motions in the western edge of Kanto Plain.
