The Mw 5.9 Woods Point Earthquake: A Preliminary Investigation of the Ground Motion Observations
The 22 September 2021 (AEST) moment magnitude MW 5.9 Woods Point earthquake was the largest in the state of Victoria’s recorded history. The ground motions were felt throughout the state of Victoria and into neighbouring states New South Wales and South Australia. Minor damage was reported in the city of Melbourne and in some regional towns close to the epicentre. This event was captured on many high-quality recorders from multiple sources, including private, university, and public stations. These recordings provide a rare opportunity to test the validity of some ground motion models thought to be applicable to the southeast region of Australia. This paper presents spectral acceleration and attenuation comparisons of the Woods Point earthquake event to some ground motion models. The results of this paper provide further evidence that the attenuation characteristics of southeastern Australia may be similar to that in central and eastern United States, particularly at shorter distances to the epicentre.
This paper was presented at the Australian Earthquake Engineering Society 2021 Virtual Conference, Nov 25 – 26.
