Abstract
Efficient and precise numerical methods, grounded in physical processes, are crucial for studying ground motion distribution in near-fault complex sites. This study introduces a preconditioned 3D multi-domain fast multipole indirect boundary element method (FMIBEM) that considers complete physical processes, including fault rupture, path propagation, and near-surface complex site response. The computational efficiency of the preconditioned FMIBEM in solving high-frequency ground motions (>3 Hz) is enhanced by over 97 % compared to the regular FMIBEM. Employing preconditioned FMIBEM, we simulate broadband (0–5 Hz) ground motions in near-fault sedimentary basins on a regular workstation, revealing that: (I) sedimentary basins, especially layered ones, significantly amplify near-fault ground motion, with the amplification coefficient of PGA exceeding 5.0; (II) layered sedimentary basins notably increase permanent displacement due to fault slip; (III) sedimentary basins transform unidirectional velocity pulses from fault slip into bidirectional pulses with larger amplitude and longer period.
