Significant
nttmbers ofthe
structttresin
large
citiesin
Japan,
such asTokyo,
arefounded
in
rnediumto
softground.
For
example, ofthe
772
sites, each representing ablock
in
the
grid
system of47o
mnorth-south
by
370
m east-westin
the
centralpart
ofTokyo,
738
(more
than
95
%
)
were classified`) asmedium and soft, according
to
the
ground
classification recommendedin
the
Japanese
codefor
earthquake resistant
design
ofbuildings
(Table
5).
About
40
%
(304
sites) were classified as softIn
addition, expansion of
the
congested central city area oftenleads
to
waterfront
developments
in
reclaimed
land,
causingfurther
increase
in
the
percentage
of softground.
Thus
the
investigation
ofmedium and soft
ground
beh4vior
with respectto
different
levels
of excitationis
ofprimary
concernin
microzonation.
This
paper
is
an attemptto
form
abasis
for
suchinvestigation.
One
ofthe
problems
in
mapping stablelocal
site effectfor
microzonationis
the
selection ofinput
ground
motionthat
can adequately reflectthe
potential
severity offuture
earthquakes,Combined
effectof a suite of
ground
motions maybe
consideredfor
this
purpose.
For
such combinationto
be
rational, a'
scaling
procedure
is
neededto
normalize allthe
ground
motions.Based
onthe
inelastic
responseanalysis of single
degree
offreedom
(SDOF)
oscillators,Hall
et al.'} reportthat
scalingby
spectrum
intensity
(SI)
resultsin
the
least
dispersion
in
spectral ordinates.Nishikawa
et al.S) also consiclerednonlinear
SDOF
oscillatorsin
their
investigation.
They
recommendthe
use ofpeak
ground
velocity orSI
in
case of structures with elasticperiod
longer
than
abeutO.3
seconds, andthe
use ofpeak
acceleration
for
structures with elasticperiod
shorterthan
aboutO.
2
seconds.This
studyfollows
similarapproach,
but
is
concerned withthe
nonlinear response of varioustypes
ofground,
andthe
discrete
nonlinear model of actual soil
profiles
is
consideredfor
investigation.
It
wouldbe
necessaryto
considerthe
complete soil-structureinteraction
systemfor
realistic study of $caling methods,However,
this
study
is
aimed at seismic microzonation, andthe
emphasisis
onthe
identification
of a method suitablefor
nonlinearfree
field
ground
response,paTticularly
at medium and soft sites.The
level
of excitationexperienced
by
a structuredepends
onthe
type
ofground
underneath.Different
site conditions arecharacterized
by
different
patterns
of substantial variationsin
stiffness acrossdepth.
Thus
the
nonlinearresponse of
ground
is
by
naturequite
different
from
that
of structure.As
a result,it
seems worthwhileto
investigate
the
relative suitability ofdifferent
methods of scaling a suite ofground
motionsfor
compatibilityin
the
level
of nonlineargTound
response.Nonlinear
ground
responsebasically
involves
absorption,transmission,
and amplification ofearthquake wave energy, contained
in
different
period
bands,
by
soildeposits.
It
seems appropriateto
premise
that
energy relatedparameters
wouldbe
effectivein
sca]ing a suite ofground
motions.The
investigation
is
carried outin
two
phases.
Initially
the
scalingparameter
that
resultsin
the
least
overalldispersion
in
the
level
of nonlinear response,in
different
site conditions,is
selected.Subsequently,
detailed
investigation,
aboutdifferent
aspects of nonlinear respones,is
madein
case ofthe
parameter
selected
in
the
first
phase.

The

the

The

As

a measure ofthe

Conclusions
Of
the
four
scalingparameters,
with varyingdegrees
andtype
of energy representation,Housner's
SI
is
seento
produce
the
most compatible nonlinear respnose of medium sites(TG
rangeo.2
to
O,
75
seconds).Housner's
SI
andPGV
produce
comparable compatibirity, withPGV
faring
slightlybetter,
in
case of soft sites(
Tc
longer
than
O,
75
seconds).Scaling
a suite ofground
motionsby
SI,
defined
in
aperiod
band
adequatery extendedto
accountfor
the
ground
period
elongation of soft sites,improves
the
compatibilityin
nonlinear response of soft sites.PGA
seemsto
be
appropriatefor
hard
