Characteristics of microtremor observed near quay walls -Example of observation records at Yaizu fishing port-


Abstract
Measurements of microtremors were conducted at Yaizu fishing port. In addition to the peak frequency at 0.7 Hz which is presumably related to site characteristics, the H/V spectra included peaks at lower frequencies, which can be attributed to the effects of quay walls, because the predominant direction was perpendicular to the quay walls. To detect peak frequencies related to site characteristics, the observation should be conducted 30 m away from the face line and quay-wall-parallel components should be used.
