3D numerical simulations of earthquake ground motion in near-fault conditions, accounting for complex geological and morphological conditions, may provide realistic seismic scenarios, up to frequencies of 2 – 3 Hz.
The frequency limit is mainly related to insufficient details in the source kinematic models, as well as on the local geology description. A moderate random variability of the kinematic source parameters may significantly improve the high-frequency energy radiation, improving as well the agreement with observed records during L’Aquila earthquake.
The typical features of long period ground motion amplification and propagation of surface waves within sedimentary basins in Central Italy, such as in Gubbio, can be captured well by 3D numerical simulations.
Generation of realistic earthquake ground motion scenarios for future damaging earthquakes within complex tectonic and geological environments is becoming more and more feasible, also for engineering applications.
