Quantifying Seismic Source Parameter Uncertainties
We use data from a small aperture array in southern California to quantify variations in source parameter estimates at closely spaced stations (distances ranging from ∼7 to 350 m) to provide constraints on parameter uncertainties. Many studies do not consider uncertainties in these estimates even though they can be significant and have important implications for studies of earthquake source phy...
متن کاملThe Effect of Tuned Mass Damper on Seismic Response of Building Frames with Uncertain Structural Characteristics
Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) could be used to absorb the input energy of the applied load, and reduce the response of the building frames. However, the effectiveness of TMD in reducing the response of the building frames could be affected by inherited uncertainties in the structural characteristics of the frames. In this study, in order to investigate the probabilistic response of steel moment-res...
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 کاملEffects of Magnitude Uncertainties on Seismic Hazard Estimates
The standard probability tree methodology of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) allows for the explicit treatment of many kinds of uncertainty. These include both epistemic uncertainty (e.g., uncertainty in the parameters of the frequency-magnitude relation for a given source region, and in the form and parameters of relations for attenuation of strong shaking) and aleatory uncertai...
متن کاملSeismic Response of Building Structures with Sliding Non-structural Elements
Interaction between a structure under base excitation and heavy non-structural elements that it supports is significant in the seismic analysis and design of the structure. Heavy non-structural elements may slide/rock under base excitation, and this dynamic action affects the seismic behavior of the supporting structure. Hence, in this study, a numerical model was presented to describe the seis...
