Earthquake deconvolution for FLAC
نویسنده
چکیده
Design earthquake ground motions for dynamic analyses are typically specified as outcrop motions, which may have to be modified for input at the base of a FLAC model. Often a ‘deconvolution’ analysis using a 1-D wave propagation code, such as the program SHAKE, is performed to obtain the appropriate input motion at depth. This seemingly simple analysis is often the subject of considerable confusion. In this paper the theory and operation of the program SHAKE and input requirements of FLAC are reviewed, and the application of SHAKE for adapting design earthquake motions for FLAC input is described. Numerical examples illustrating typical cases are presented, and several questions that commonly arise are addressed. rection only, the dashpots provide a viscous shear traction given by:

Monitoring a Building Using Deconvolution Interferometry. I: Earthquake-Data Analysis
For health monitoring of a building, we need to separate the response of the building to an earthquake from the imprint of soil-structure coupling and from wave propagation below the base of the building. Seismic interferometry based on deconvolution, where we deconvolve the wave fields recorded at different floors, is a technique to extract this building response and thus estimate velocity of ...
متن کاملMonitoring a Building Using Deconvolution Interferometry. II: Ambient- Vibration Analysis
Application of deconvolution interferometry to earthquake data recorded inside a building is a powerful technique for monitoring parameters of the building, such as velocities of traveling waves, frequencies of normal modes, and intrinsic attenuation. In this study, we apply interferometry to ambient-vibration data, instead of using earthquake data, to monitor a building. The time continuity of...
متن کاملEffect of Seismic wave scattering on the Response of Dam-Reservoir-Foundation Systems
Traditionally the foundation in a dam is modeled by a sub-structuring approach for the purpose of seismic performance analysis. The main disadvantage of sub-structuring approach is that it cannot be used for solving nonlinear dynamic problems. Therefore, in that case seismic response analysis must be carried out in time domain. Among the different earthquake input mechanisms the deconvolved ear...
متن کاملEvaluation of Earth Dam Behavior against Earthquake with respect to Dam Height and Constitutive Model of Dam Materials
In spite of the fact that the effect of earthquake on earth dams has been widely studied during the past decades, the complicated behavior of such earth structures against different seismological characteristics is still unknown. Such ambiguities necessitate more accurate studies using more comprehensive computation tools to achieve new results describing the behavior of such structures subject...
