Wavelet-based Analysis for Pulse Period of Earthquake Ground-motions
Pulse period of earthquake records has been known as a key parameter in seismology and earthquake engineering. This paper presents a detailed characterization of this parameter for a special class of earthquake records called pulse-like ground motions. This type of motions often resulting from directivity effects is characterized by a strong pulse in the velocity time history of motion, in norm...
متن کاملGround motions characterized by a multi-scale heterogeneous earthquake model
We have carried out numerical simulations of seismic ground motion radiating from a mega-earthquake whose rupture process is governed by a multi-scale heterogeneous distribution of fracture energy. The observed complexity of the Mw 9.
متن کاملEvaluation of 2D concentrically braced frames with cylindrical dampers subjected to near-field earthquake ground motions
Near field earthquakes have imposed major damage to buildings in the past years. In some cases, the intensity of such damage is too considerable to be disregarded. The most effective way to improve seismic performance of buildings is applying a seismic control technique. The cylindrical friction damper is one of these methods, which has become popular for its desirable performance in the energy...
متن کاملThe Duration and Amplitude Characteristics of Earthquake Ground Motions with Emphasis on Local Site Effects
Among various indices of earthquake ground motions, the maximum amplitude value and frequency content have been regarded as the most important indices for earthquake engineering. These indices are strongly affected by local site conditions. Also the fact that the duration of earthquake ground motion differs from site to site even during the same earthquake has been noticed by many researchers. ...
متن کاملVisualizing the ground motions of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake
With advances in computational capabilities and refinement of seismic wavepropagation models in the past decade large three dimensional simulations of earthquake ground motion have become possible. The resulting datasets from these simulations are multivariate, temporal and multi-terabyte in size. Past visual representations of results from seismic studies have been largely confined to static t...
