Mountain terrain of significantly alters the propagation path and energy distribution characteristics of seismic waves. Through interactions such as reflection, scattering, and diffraction, the seismic response of local sites exhibits notable spatial variability. This terrain effect has a significant impact on the seismic response of engineering structures in mountainous areas and is one of the key factors contributing to the intensification of earthquake damage. To consider the impact of terrain effects on ground motion parameters in engineering seismic design, this study uses a railway station building site as the example. A three-dimensional finite element model of the mountain area where the station building is located was established. A viscoelastic artificial boundary is set for the model, and historical seismic data recorded by observation stations in the region were used as the ground motion input. The seismic response of the mountain region was obtained, and a comparative analysis of the input seismic motion and response results was performed to analyze the impact of the mountain height difference on the terrain amplification effect. The results show that at higher elevations (such as the freight yard and station building locations), the amplification effect is significant, while at lower elevations, the amplification effect is weaker, displaying a characteristic distribution along the height difference from large to small. The highest elevation of the site is more sensitive to high-frequency (10~20 Hz) seismic motion components. The peak ground acceleration is significantly positively correlated with the height difference, indicating that the height difference of the mountain terrain is a key factor influencing the site amplification effect. The study concludes that the terrain amplification effect is closely related to the height difference and topographical variations in mountainous areas, providing important theoretical guidance for the seismic design of major engineering projects in mountainous regions.
