Nonstationary Models of Seismic Ground Acceleration
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new nonstationary model is applied to represent seismic ground acceleration records. The model can be obtained by modulating both the amplitude and the frequency of a stationary process. It is not included in the class of oscillatory processes. Accelerograms recorded during the 1985 Michoacan earthquake in Mexico City are used to calibrate and evaluate the usefulness of the proposed and other nonstationary models of ground acceleration. Results suggest that the proposed nonstationary model is more adequate for reliability studies. System responses to acclerograms generated by this model have coefficients of variation that are consistent with those corresponding to actual accelerograms.

In this paper a simple tool for seismic design of steel structures for a selected ductility level is presented. For this purpose, a consistent set of earthquakes is selected and sorted based on the maximum acceleration of ground surface. The selected records are applied as the base motion to a single-degree-of-freedom system with strain hardening and the maximum response acceleration is determi...

There are valuable investigations on the amplification effects of the topography on the seismic response in the frequency domain; however, a question is that how one can estimate the amplification of time domain peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and peak ground displacement (PGD) over the topographic structures. In this study, the numerical approach has been used for t...
