This paper used the stochastic finite-fault method to simulate the ground motions of Wenchuan earthquake.The sensitivity of influential parameters of the duration of simulated ground motion was analyzed
and then the effects of source parameters and propagation path parameters on the duration of simulated ground motion were discussed.The results show that the duration increases with the increase of magnitude.Compared with the absolute Bolt duration which is positively related to the stress drop
the relative Bolt duration decreases with the increase of stress drop.When the kappavalue increases
the relative duration increases
while the absolute duration decreases.The change trend of duration with
the quality factor Q
0
is affected by theηvalue
and when theηvalue changes
Q
0
may have a completely opposite effect on the duration.The fault dip and the depth of the top of fault have little influence on the duration
and there is no monotonic relationship.When the stochastic finite-fault method is applied to the research on the characteristics and engineering application of the duration of simulated ground motion
compared with the fault dip and the depth of fault top
more attentions should be paid to the magnitude
stress drop
kappa value and quality factor
so as to simulate more suitable ground motion and get more rational duration.
