Ground Motion and Vibration Issues for Accelerators

Ground motion and vibration can be a limiting factor in the performance of future colliders, in particular linear colliders and large hadron colliders. Investigations of ground motion have been carried out around the world for several decades. In this review, after brief discussion of ground motion requirements for NLC, TESLA and VLHC, the results of recent investigations of ground motion are p...

Variations of Strong Earthquake Ground Motion In

Accelerograms recorded at six stations in the metropolitan Los Angeles area during the Borrego Mountain, 1968, the Lytle Creek, 1970, and the San Fernando, 1971, earthquakes in southern California have been studied. In comparing the ground motions recorded during different earthquakes at each of the six stations and in correlations of these motions recorded at different stations during the same...

An equation-discovery approach to earthquake-ground-motion prediction

In active seismic regions an earthquake’s peak ground acceleration (PGA) is required information when designing a building. In this study we employ the state-of-the-art, Lagramge, equation-discovery system to induce an equation that is suitable for modeling the PGA and investigate its applicability. In contrast to traditional modeling techniques the Lagramge system does not presume the structur...

Ground motion intensity measures for performance-based earthquake engineering

A critical issue in the probabilistic framework for performance-based earthquake engineering is the choice of ground motion intensity measure(s). In an effort to identify optimum intensity measure(s), a comprehensive parametric statistical study based on 881 earthquake record components was conducted to identify the correlation between (1) seismological variables (SV’s) and traditional ground m...
