The Darfield earthquake of 3rd September 2010 UT and its aftershocks have yielded New Zealand’s richest set of strong-motion data since recording began in the early 1960s. Main-shock accelerograms were returned by 130 sites, ten of which had peak horizontal accelerations in the range 0.3 to 0.82g. One near-fault record, from Greendale, had a peak vertical acceleration of 1.26g. Eighteen records showed peak ground velocities exceeding 0.5 m/s, with three of them exceeding 1 m/s. The records included some with strong long-period directivity pulses, some with other long-period components that were related to a mixture of source and site effects, and some that exhibited the effects of liquefaction at their sites. There were marked differences between records on the deep alluvium of Christchurch City and the Canterbury Plains, and those on shallow stiff soil sites. The strong-motion records provide the opportunity to assess the effects of the earthquake in terms of the ground motions and their relationship to design motions. They also provide an invaluable set of near-source motions for seismological studies. Our report presents an overview of the records and some preliminary findings derived from them.

Abstract This paper deals with empirical spectral amplification function for a reference site (STK) near Keddara dam in Algeria using local strong ground motion of earthquakes of magnitudes Mw 4.0-6.8. Amplification function is obtained as the 5% damped mean spectral ratio of surface observed and the rock predicted ground motions and it is compared to the ambient vibration HVSR which shows a good agreement in terms of fundamental frequency and curve tendency. In addition, recorded ground motions are compared to surface predicted motion with modified GMPE, the site term of the local ground motion prediction equation is adjusted based on the obtained amplification function of the free field STK site. Examples of the M 6.8, M5.4 and M4.7 earthquakes show clearly the advantage of using the adjusted Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPE) for predicting surface ground motion. Site effect characterization and the adjusted GMPE presented in this study provide the basis elements toward partially non ergodic site specific-Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) application based on local strong motion data in Algeria.
