摘要：Earthquakes have always been an important cause of mortalities and property damage in Iran. In regions where there are few strong motion records, the simulation of earthquake waveforms can be an important source for strong ground motions prediction. Strong motion records are vital for earthquake engineering purposes and developing spectra for earthquake resistant designs. The simulated motions might be applied in the design of spectral development. One of the major methods in the strong motion simulation is the application of empirical Green’s function. In this method, aftershocks are considered as Green`s functions and the target event or main-shock is calculated by dividing the fault into smaller parts as subfaults ( each of which is a point source) and by using the summation principle and time delay in the wave distribution of each subfault. Empirical Green`s function method was first used by Hartzel, 1978. The present research is concentrated on the simulation of strong motions for Silakhor earthquake- March, 31 2006, with Mw = 6.0. The simulation of strong motions based on the aftershocks of Silakhor event, shows proper consistency between the simulated and the recorded main-shock which is due to the maximal motion and the spectral ordinates.
