Analysis and simulation of strong earthquake ground motions using ARMA models
نویسندگان
چکیده
-The acceleration record of an earthquake ground motion is a nonstationary process with both amplitude and frequency content varying in time. The paper presents a general procedure for the analysis and simulation of strong earthquake ground motions based on parametric ARMA models to be used in computing structural response. Some computational results obtained in the analysis and simulation of ground acceleration, recorded during the Romanian Earthquake of 4 March 1977, are also included.

Wavelet-based Analysis for Pulse Period of Earthquake Ground-motions
Pulse period of earthquake records has been known as a key parameter in seismology and earthquake engineering. This paper presents a detailed characterization of this parameter for a special class of earthquake records called pulse-like ground motions. This type of motions often resulting from directivity effects is characterized by a strong pulse in the velocity time history of motion, in norm...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Strong Ground Velocity Pulses using Spectral Decomposition and Forward Directivity Effects
Introduction The nature of near-field earthquake records is very complicated and uncertain. Due to this complexity, the prediction of the real structural responses has become very difficult. Based on the analysis of the physical characteristics of near-field records, it is possible to use the simplified mathematical models. Near-field ground motions which are often associated with a progressiv...
متن کاملNonstationary ARMA modeling of seismic motions
Discrete time-varying autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models are used to describe realistic earthquake ground motion time histories. Both amplitude and frequency nonstationarities are incorporated in the model. An iterative Kalman filtering scheme is introduced to identify the time-varying parameters of an ARMA model from an actual earthquake record. Several model verification tests are pe...
متن کاملStochastic 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...

In this article, topology optimization of two-dimensional (2D) building frames subjected to seismic loading is performed using the polygonal finite element method. Artificial ground motion accelerograms compatible with the design response spectrum of ASCE 7-16 are generated for the response history dynamic analysis needed in the optimization. The mean compliance of structure is minimized as a t...
