Earthquake Ground Motion

Stochastic Model for Earthquake Ground Motion Using Wavelet Packets

For performance-based design, nonlinear dynamic structural analysis using various types of input ground motions is required. Stochastic (simulated) ground motions are sometimes useful as input motions, because their properties can be varied systematically to study the impact of ground-motion properties on structural response, and producing large numbers of ground motions is simple. This paper d...

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...

ESTIMATING THE STRONG-MOTION OF THE DECEMBER 26, 2003 BAM (IRAN), EARTHQUAKE USING STOCHASTIC TECHNIQUES

  Abstract : The main objective of this study is estimating the strong motion for the Bam region using the stochastically based seismological models. The two widely used synthetic techniques namely point-source and finite-fault were utilized incorporating the source-path and site parameters into simple function. The decay factor kappa was estimated based on the data obtained from recorded stron...

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...
