Abstract:
      Using the wave function expansion method,this paper mainly studies the earthquake motion field with spatial variability for an incident plane P wave into a complex terrain with overlying water.The site has comprehensive attributes such as a water-covered layer,the saturated double-phase media due to the overlying water,the non-flat site,and the second type of stratification (the site through geological layers).First,based on the reflection and transmission characteristics of seismic waves,the free wave field functions in a Cartesian coordinate system are derived.Then,considering the characteristics of the site and the large arc method,the scattering wave field functions with the undetermined coefficients in a polar coordinate system are determined.Furthermore,the undetermined coefficients are solved by the boundary conditions determined by the saturated soil interface and soil-water interface.Finally,a theoretical solution for the scattering by circular-arc site in saturated double-phase media under surface water is derived.The rationality and reliability of the theoretical solution is verified by a numerical calculation and the surface displacements at different conditions are analyzed.Numerical results show that: compared with the uniform medium,the saturated double-phase media significantly change the surface motion,and the incident wave frequency and angle have great influences on the ground vibration.
