Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to develop a computerized technique for processing strong-motion accelerograms from earthquakes in order that earthquake vulnerability for existing structures can be more fully investigated through the use of simplified base excitations. Through filter theory, the Wiener normal equations were used to reduce accelerogram pairs to basic time histories called operators. This approach isolates the differences contained within accelerogram pairs from project sites at which the data were obtained. The operators are used with mathematical shocks (such as half-sine pulses) as inputs to produce simplified responses. Variations in the simplified responses are obtained by changing the durations of the half-sine or other hypothetical wave form inputs and using the same operator for each variation. Each family of responses is then studied to determine its sensitivity to these changes. As an example of this theory, data from an earthquake of magnitude 4.4 + or - were used to construct operators that related free-field motions to those on the main and auxiliary dams at the Isabella Reservoir near Bakersfield, California. Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that use of this technique should enable structural engineers to assess earthquake vulnerability for existing structures more fully, and that this in turn could lead to improvements in future designs.

Download or read book Strong Ground Motion Seismology written by Mustafa Özder Erdik and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains selected papers presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Strong Ground Motion Seismology", held in Ankara, Turkey between June 10 and 21, 1985. The strong ground motion resulting from a major earthquake determines the level of the seismic hazard to enable earthquake engineers to assess the structural performance and the consecutive risks to the property and life, as well as providing detailed information to seismologists about its source mechanism. From the earthquake engineering point the main problem is the specification of a design level ground motion for a given source-site-structure-economic life and risk combination through deterministic and probabilistic approaches. In seismology the strong motion data provide the high frequency information to determine the rupture process and the complexity of the source mechanism. The effects of the propagation path on the strong ground motion is a research area receiving sub stantial attenuation both from earthquake engineers and seismologists. The Institute provided a venue for the treatment of the subject matter by a series of lectures on earthquake source models and near field theories; effects of propagation paths and site conditions, numerical and empirical methods for prediction; data acquisition and analysis; hazard assessment and engineering application.

This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses current activities in strong-motion networks around the globe, covering issues related to designing, maintaining and disseminating information from these arrays. The book is divided into three principal sections. The first section includes recent developments in regional and global ground-motion predictive models. It presents discussions on the similarities and differences of ground motion estimations from these models and their application to design spectra as well as other novel procedures for predicting engineering parameters in seismic regions with sparse data. The second section introduces topics about the particular methodologies being implemented in the recently established global and regional strong-motion databanks in Europe to maintain and disseminate the archived accelerometric data. The final section describes major strong-motion arrays around the world and their historical developments. The last three chapters of this section introduce projects carried out within the context of arrays deployed for seismic risk studies in metropolitan areas. Audience: This timely book will be of particular interest for researchers who use accelerometric data extensively to conduct studies in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.
