The reflection and refraction of plane SH waves incident upon a high-speed layer with a constant thickness d were studied. Numerical calculations were executed in a case when B1/B2=0.5507, μ2/μ1=3.25, and medium 1 and 3 are equal, and the results are given graphically. According to the results, the so-called total reflection is considered to be taken place when d/L≥5, and no plane SH waves can be propagated parallel to the discontinuous layer.

For the study of macroscopic characteristics of earthquake, it is necessary to investigate both historical and modern earthquakes from the same point of view. Historical earthquakes present informations on damages only. Modern earthquakes have various kind of data obtained from instrumental observations. Intensity data is common to both old and modern earthquakes. As the first step to study historical earthquakes, we studied the seismic intensity distribution of recent earthquakes, in the Tohoku district, which occurred in the interval from 1926 to 1990. Results are summarized as follows.(1) The isoseismal contours for many earthquakes off the Pacific coast elongate to north and south, and the seismic intensity decays steeply across the line which is almost parallel to the volcanic front. We call this line “Steeply Decay Line of Seismic Intensity (SDLSI)”. On the contrary, the distribution of seismic intensity for shallow inland earthquakes doesn't show this tendency.(2) We investigated the seismic intensity attenuation in the Tohoku district and obtained the next formula, I=A-BXwhere, I is the seismic intensity, X the hypocentral distance. Coefficients A and B are expressed as follows:for earthquakes of G1, G2 and G3 (see Fig. 2)A=0.198+0.679M, A/B=-1332+299.9M (east side of SDLSI), A=0.944+0.589M, A/B=-1329+279.5M (west side of SDLSI).for earthquakes of G4A=-1.315+0.912M, A/B=-410+134.9M(3) For the earthquakes along the plate boundary, we defined relatively low- and high-frequency earthquakes according to the value of MJ-MI, where MJ is JMA magnitude and MI the one determined by comparing observed intensity attenuation data of each earthquake with a curve calculated from formulas in (2). The epicenteral distribution of low- and high-frequency earthquakes does not show clear characteristics. But, off Fukushima Prefecture region, there seems to be a boundary of the high-and low-frequency earthquake's distribution along the plate boundary of about 40km depth. The high-frequency earthquakes are found in the west side of the boundary.

To make clear the features of the spectrum splitting due to the introduction of a soft solid core, the frequency and spectral amplitude of torsional oscillations are calculated for the modes with colatitudinal order number n from 2 to 9, assuming GUTENBERG-BULLEN A′ earth model. The only deviation from the G-B model is the assumption that the distribution of rigidity is constant in the core. The possibillity of estimating the rigidity of the core by the use of spectrum splitting was discussed.

The method of the inversion analysis to evaluate the distribution of seismic energy radiated from an earthquake fault plane based on seismic intensity distribution data has been developed. The fault plane is divided into small sub-faults. The optimized seismic energy distribution of each sub-fault is calculated using the least square method to minimize the error between evaluated and observed seismic intensities.The energy distribution of a seismic fault is related to seismic intensity using the attenuation formula with equivalent hypocentral distance. The parameters of the attenuation formula are obtained from a regression analysis with measured seismic intensity data of recent moderate earthquakes.The forward analyses using an assumed model are performed to verify the accuracy of the inversion analysis and to evaluate the effect of factors such as the standard deviation of seismic intensity, constraint condition of inversion analysis and configuration of observation stations.Finally, the method is applied to the Showa Tonankai earthquake in 1944 and the Showa Nankai earthquake in 1946 and the result is compared with the tsunami and strong motion waveform inversion results to confirm the efficiency and applicability of the method.

A bibliography of field studies on major earthquakes in Japan was prepared. This includes papers concerning the field inspection, seismometrical study, study of related phenomena and investigation on damages which were published before the end of 1965. The list consists of the following items: (1)reference number (2)author's name (3)title of the paper (4)name, volume, year and page of Bulletin in which the paper is published or name of publishers (5)name and year of earthquake studied (6)main subject Date, name, latitude, longitude, focal depth, magnitude and reference number of earthquakes are arranged in another table. Papers are classified by the year of earthquake and main subject and arranged in a form of table.

Referring to the damage and intensity distributions and the tsunami-attacked areas and Comparing them with recent earthquakes in the same region, the epicenter location of Japanese historical earthquakes accompanied by damages were re-examined. Existence range of epicenters were also given. Earthquakes from 416 A. D through 1925 are considered. For those after 1926, accurate epicenters are given by the Japan Meteorological Agency and especially since 1960, standard deviation of epicenters are also given by J.M.A. The results are arranged in the form of descriptive tables and figures.

Table of major earthquakes which occurred in and near Japan and accompanied by damages was prepared. The table consists of two parts, the major and auxiliary ones. Earthquakes in Formosa and Korea and outside Japan were omitted from these tables. The only exceptional one is the Chilean earthquake of May, 1960 which brought big damage to Japan.
