SIMULATION OF EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION AND ITS APPLICATION TO RESPONSE ANALYSIS

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Analysis and Simulation of Earthquake Strong Ground Motion for Earthquake Engineering Applications (2003-2004)

The objectives of this task are to conduct research on seismic hazards, and to provide relevant input on the expected levels of these hazards to other tasks. Other tasks requiring this input include those dealing with inventory, fragility curves, rehabilitation strategies and demonstration projects. The corresponding input is provided in various formats depending on the intended use: as peak gr...

Simulation of earthquake rupture process and strong ground motion

Computer simulation of the strong ground motion generated from the earthquake•rupture process on a shallow strike-slip fault are carried out by using a 3-D finite difference method. The faulting process is modeled using a dynamic crack model with fixed rupture velocity or with finite-stress-fracture criterion. The near-source ground motion is sensitive to the details of sliprate or slip-acceler...

On Earthquake Ground Motion and Structural Response inAlluvial

This paper is concerned with the problem of soil ampliication and structural damage due to local site conditions in sedimentary valleys during earthquakes. It focuses on a small valley in Kirovakan, for which one dimensional (1D) wave propagation analyses have failed to provide adequate answers for the large extent and spatial distribution of damage during the 1988 Armenia Earthquake. A more re...
