Abstract:The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake ( Ms= 8; May 12, 2008; Sichuan, China) had caused a great loss to both life and property. We compute the accelerograms of Wenchuan strong motions by the stochastic finite-fault method and obtain the isolines of peak ground acceleration. This study provides a reasonable interpretation of the causes and degree of the structural destruction caused by the strong ground motions during this event. This also improves the stochastic finite-fault method by incorporating the structural aseismic capability.
