Download or read book Neural Network Based Estimation of Strong Ground Motion Parameters written by C .R. Arjun and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic evaluation of existing facilities and design of earthquake-resistant structures requires estimation of strong ground motion parameters. Ground motion prediction equations are derived for estimating strong ground motion parameters. Traditionally, ground motion prediction equations are developed using statistical regression analyses. This book presents a very promising application of the powerful and versatile neural network approach to the derivation of ground motion prediction equations using Japanese earthquake records and site characteristics. Multi-layer perceptron neural network models with back-propagation learning scheme have been developed to predict strong ground motion parameters that are of primary significance in earthquake engineering using the actual seismic data without any simplification and assumptions. Statistics of the results presented indicate that artificial neural network is capable of learning and representing the local variations quite accurately. This book is intended to help structural engineers in selection of appropriate characterization of ground motion for engineering applications that are used in seismic analysis and design.

Download or read book Seismic Performance Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dams written by Gaohui Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the seismic performance of concrete gravity dams, considering the effects of strong motion duration, mainshock-aftershock seismic sequence, and near-fault ground motion. It employs both the extended finite element method (XFEM) and concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) models to characterize the mechanical behavior of concrete gravity dams under strong ground motions, including the dam-reservoir-foundation interaction. In addition, it discusses the effects of the initial crack, earthquake direction, and cross-stream seismic excitation on the nonlinear dynamic response to strong ground motions, and on the damage-cracking risk of concrete gravity dams. This book provides a theoretical basis for the seismic performance evaluation of high dams, and can also be used as a reference resource for researchers and graduate students engaged in the seismic design of high dams.

Download or read book Measuring Modeling and Predicting the Seismic Site Effect written by Yefei Ren and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As recognized universally by both seismology and earthquake engineering communities, the amplitude and frequency content of ground motions are influenced by local site effects, including the effects of near-surface geologic materials, surface topographic and basin effects, and so on. Strong linkage between seismic site effect and earthquake damage has been commonly demonstrated from many past earthquakes. Therefore, quantitative and reliable evaluation of the seismic site effect is one of the crucial aspects in seismic hazard assessment and risk mitigation. With the significant advancement of modern seismic monitoring networks and arrays, huge amounts of high-quality seismic records are now being accumulated. This encourages us to measure the site responses and its associated uncertainty for selected seismic stations by some record-dependent approaches, such as horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) measurements, generalized spectral inversion (GIT) methods, etc. Machine learning techniques also show significant promise in characterization of the near-surface geologic properties and prediction of site response. These data-driven approaches help us to better understand the physics of spatial and temporal variabilities of ground motions. Due to more and more site-specific data being captured, invoking non-ergodic assumptions in seismic response analysis has recently been a topic of great interest in the community. For specific site response analysis, numerical simulations are carried out to model the dynamic process of seismic waves propagating and scattering in the subsurface strata. With development of modeling capacity, great efforts have been taken to evaluate quantitatively the complex 2D and 3D effects on seismic site response.
