The Temple

This paper presents a first approximation of the seismic vulnerability of a sixteenth century building which is part of the historical center of Morelia, Mexico. The city was declared World Heritage by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 1991. The modeling and analysis of the building was carried out using a three-dimensional elastic tetrahedral finite elements model which was subjected to probabilistic seismic demands with recurrences of 500 yrs and 1000 yrs in addition to real seismic records. The model was able to correctly identify cracking pattern in different parts of the temple due to gravitational forces. High seismic vulnerability of the arched window and the walls of the middle part of the bell tower of the temple was indicated by the seismic analysis of the model.

Strongly dispersive noise from surface waves can be attenuated on seismic records by Flexfil, a new prestack process which uses wavelet spreading rather than velocity as the criterion for noise discrimination. The process comprises three steps: trace‐by‐trace compression to collapse the noise to a narrow fan in time‐offset (t-x) space; muting of the noise in this narrow fan; and inverse compression to recompress the reflection signals. The process will work on spatially undersampled data. The compression is accomplished by a frequency‐domain, linear operator which is independent of trace offset. This operator is the basis of a robust method of dispersion estimation. A flexural ice wave occurs on data recorded on floating ice in the near offshore of the North Slope of Alaska. It is both highly dispersed and of broad frequency bandwidth. Application of Flexfil to these data can increase the signal‐to‐noise ratio up to 20 dB. A noise analysis obtained from a microspread record is ideal to use for dispersion estimation. Production seismic records can also be used for dispersion estimation, with less accurate results. The method applied to field data examples from Alaska demonstrates significant improvement in data quality, especially in the shallow section.

Trace Transform

To remove surface waves from seismic records while preserving other seismic events of interest, we introduced a transform and a filter based on recent developments in image processing. The transform can be seen as a weighted Radon transform, in particular along linear trajectories. The weights in the transform are data dependent and designed to introduce large amplitude differences between surface waves and other events such that surface waves could be separated by a simple amplitude threshold. This is a key property of the filter and distinguishes this approach from others, such as conventional ones that use information on moveout ranges to apply a mask in the transform domain. Initial experiments with synthetic records and field data have demonstrated that, with the appropriate parameters, the proposed trace transform filter performs better both in terms of surface wave attenuation and reflected signal preservation than the conventional methods. Further experiments on larger data sets are needed to fully assess the method.

AbstractIn recent years, the permanent seismic networks worldwide have largely increased, raising the amount of earthquake signals and the applications using seismic records. Although characterization of the soil properties at recording stations has a large impact on hazard estimates, it has not been implemented so far in a standardized way for reaching high-level metadata. To address this issue, we built an online questionnaire for the identification of the indicators useful for a reliable site characterization at a seismic station. We analysed the answers of a large number of experts in different fields, which allowed us to rank 24 different indicators and to identify the most relevant ones: fundamental frequency (f0), shear-wave velocity profile (VS), time-averaged Vs over 30 m (VS30), depth of seismological and engineering bedrock (Hseis_bed and Heng_bed), surface geology and soil class. Moreover, the questionnaire proposed two additional indices in terms of cost and difficulty to obtain a reliable value of each indicator, showing that the selection of the most relevant indicators results from a complex balance between physical relevancy, average cost and reliability. For each indicator we propose a summary report, provided as editable pdf, containing the background information of data acquisition and processing details, with the aim to homogenize site metadata information at European level and to define the quality of the site characterization (see companion paper Di Giulio et al. 2021). The selected indicators and the summary reports have been shared within European and worldwide scientific community and discussed in a dedicated international workshop. They represent a first attempt to reach a homogeneous set of high-level metadata for site characterization.

Correlation Noise

Vibroseis obtained the seismic record by cross-correlation detection calculation. compared with dynamite source, cross-correlation detection can suppress random noise, but produce more correlation noise. This paper studies Radon transform to remove correlation noise produced by electromagnetic drive vibroseis and impact rammer. From the results of processing field seismic records, we can see that Radon transform can remove correlation noise by vibroseis, the SNR of vibroseis seismic data is effectively improved.
