Characteristics of Horizontal and Vertical Near-Field Ground Motions and Investigation of Their Effects on the Dynamic Response of Bridges
Recently, concerning failure of structures due to earthquakes, special investigations of near fault ground motions have been noticed. Hence, in this paper, characteristics of near field ground motions have been considered in horizontal and vertical directions. In this consideration, the record averages have been compared with Uniform Building Code and Eurocode8 spectra in two levels. In additio...
متن کاملseismic ground response analysis of unsaturated soil deposits
seismic ground motion is profoundly affected by geometrical and mechanical properties of soil deposits overlaying bedrock. local seismic ground response of saturated soil deposits was studied in literature by applying the effects of soil stress state and index properties on the strain-dependent normalized shear modulus reduction, g/g0, and damping ratio, d, curves in an equivalent linear analys...
متن کاملEstimation of signal characteristics in seismic ground motions
In this study it is investigated whether signal processing techniques and leastsquare minimization methods applied to seismic data can identify the deterministic signal components that contribute significantly to the motions. The identification of these deterministic components would then allow the treatment of the remaining part of the time histories as random and result in better descriptions...
متن کاملInfluence of Ground Motion Duration on the Structural Response at Multiple Seismic Intensity Levels
This paper aims to investigate the effects of motion duration on the structural seismic demands, seeking potential correlations between motion durations and structural responses at several seismic intensity levels. Three seismic intensity levels with 100years, 475years, and 2475years earthquake return periods (RPs) are first considered for correlation computations. Spectrally matched ground mot...
متن کاملViscoelastic Modeling of Ground Response to Strong Surface Waves
Abstract: Since soil dynamic behaviour is nonlinear in nature therefore a nonlinear viscoelastic model for isotropic materials is proposed in this study. This model is a combination of inelasticity and nonlinear damping. In this model, the shear modulus is taken as a function of the excitation level. The viscosity is assumed to vary nonlinearly. The validity of this model is checked for low amp...
