摘要:There is a NE-trending earthquake hazard anomalous zone in the western part of the area of the city ofBeijing proper. A comprehensive study of it has been made. In the study the two-dimensional finite element dy-namic analysis and supersonic seismic model experiments were conducted for the first time. and some prelimi-nary results have been achieved. The Beijing depression, a lower order tectonic unit in the Beijing downwarp, is just located below theearthquake hazard anomalous zone. Analysis of the experimental results shows that the topography of the bu-ried bedrock is the main factor responsible for the presence of the anomalous zone. Besides. thetwo-dimensional mathematical analysis has more marked advantages in reflecting the lateral inhomogeneity ofthe foundation as compared with the one-dimensional one. and the supersonic seismic model experiments mayreflect the integrated effects of the earthquake sources, path of wave propagation and site geological structurein an all-round way.
