In this paper,earthquake response analysis of some typical fault areas using the two-dimensional finite element method was carried out,in which the effects of other factors on macroseismic damages were removed,taking into account comparatively all-round factors influencing the peak ground accel-eration and acceleration response spectrum,such as the scale of rupture zone of faults and soil physi-cal-mechanic properties within the zone,attitude of fault surface,fault displacement,thickness of overburden layers,undulation of bedrock,dynamic property of seismic input to a microzoning area, etc.. Combining relevant macroseismic damage data and analysing these problems tentatively from different angles,this paper concludes that the actual earthquake damage effects of non-causative faults,to a great extent,present stochastic character and its degree depends upon the type of combi-nation of fault factors and various external conditions.
