Abstract: The powerful M_w7.8 earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6, 2023, was a typical shallow-source strike-slip earthquake. It caused large-scale surface fractures and unexpectedly strong ground tremors in the near-fault area, leading to the collapse of a large number of buildings. Based on strong-motion records within a 60 km range on both sides of the earthquake fault in Turkey, the spatial distribution characteristics of the peak, spectrum and duration of ground motion in the strong earthquake area are systematically studied, and the influence law of the average shear wave velocity (V_S30) within a 30-meter range of the site surface on the ground motion characteristics is deeply analyzed. A comparative analysis of the actual seismic response spectrum near faults in Turkey and the seismic design response spectrum in China is comprehensively carried out, with a focus on discussing differences between characteristic parameters of actual response spectrum and the values taken in Chinese design code. The results show that: (1) In the 60 km area on both sides of the earthquake fault in Turkey, the sites are mainly of type Ⅰ₁ and type Ⅱ. The intense ground movements with peak accelerations greater than 0.40g and peak acceleration ratios exceeding 3 are mainly distributed within 30 km of the fault, and they are generally velocity pulse type ground motions. (2) The fitting result of the peak acceleration ratio attenuation with V_S30 is very close to the empirical relationship, while the variation law of energy duration with V_S30 is not obvious. (3) Both the characteristic period and the dynamic amplification factor of response spectrum decrease with the increase of V_S30 91.7% of the characteristic periods and 29.2% of the dynamic amplification factors of response spectrum exceed the values specified in Chinese design code. (4) Similar to the recent earthquake in Turkey, if it occurred in a 9-degree seismic fortification area of China, the design spectrum for site class Ⅰ₁ and design earthquake group 1 in the period range of 0.65~2.30 s, and that for site class Ⅱ and design earthquake group 1 in the period range of 0.50~2.45 s, neither of which can meet the requirements of seismic fortification. It is advisable to appropriately increase the height of the design response spectrum platform and the width of the platform section to adapt to the high-intensity seismic action.
