This paper presents the development of synthetic ground motion at specific sites in Yogyakarta town. In the 2019 Indonesian Seismic Code [1] provides an alternative method in the analysis of building structures by applying the dynamic time history analysis. At least 11-pairs of earthquake recordings must be used in the analysis. Synthetic ground motion utilizing the Method of Probability Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) was used in this study. A selected site in Yogyakarta town was chosen as a pilot study considering that there were many fatalities and building damage caused by the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake. The Uniform Hazard Spectra (UHS) based on the shallow crustal earthquake source is higher than the Megathrust. The risk targeted spectrum demand MCEr has been considered, which on average 12.3% greater than the UHS. The synthetic ground motions (SGM) are accordingly based on the shallow crustal earthquakes. The dominant magnitude and distance are MD = 6.5 and RD = 14.5 km. They show that the contribution of the Opak River fault to the hazard in Yogyakarta town is very dominant because the distance is very close. Based on the obtained MD and RD, spectral matching, and testing significant duration D595, the 12-synthetic ground motions were successfully developed.

In this paper, non-uniform dynamic analysis of a cable-stayed bridge is carried out using the large mass method. The Ed Yangtze River highway bridge, constructed in Hubei province, is chosen as a numerical example. In the non-uniform dynamic analysis, various wave velocities are used for the travelling ground motion. Displacements and internal forces solutions obtained for the spatially varying ground motions are compared with those of the uniform excitation. It is observed that the velocity of the ground motion greatly influences the response of the bridge and the variability of the ground motions should be included in the time-history analysis of cable-stayed bridges.

Aimed to base-isolated building with large plane dimension, the change laws of seismic response for base-isolated building under spatial variable ground motions were researched. Firstly, the artificial spatial variable earthquake time histories were generated using spectral representation method based on code response spectrum. Then the 3-D FEM modal of one based-isolated building with large plane dimension was established and the seismic response of based-isolated building under spatially ground motion was studied by nonlinear time history analysis. The mitigation effects of based-isolated building with large plane dimension were compared each other at the cases of uniform excitation, non-uniform excitation considering only wave passage effect, non-uniform excitation considering both the wave passage effect and incoherence effect, multi-component uniform excitation, multi-component non-uniform excitation considering the wave passage effect and multi-component non-uniform excitation considering both the wave passage effect and incoherence effect. The results show that the seismic response of base-isolated structure with large plane dimension under the uniform excitation is relative safety. When the base-isolated building with large plane dimension is designed by time history analysis, the spatial variability of earthquake ground motion effects can be considered.

ABSTRACT The locations and scales of the seismic sources of inland crustal earthquakes without surface fault traces (Mw≲6.5 in Japan) are difficult to identify in advance, even by conducting detailed surveys, and in such a case, it seems rational to uniformly evaluate ground-motion levels in the regions with similar seismogenic conditions. For such earthquakes, we first developed a technique to estimate ground-motion levels in a specific area by calculating the response spectra corresponding to nonexceedance probabilities (NEPs) based on probability density functions derived using strong-motion records. These records were used in the analysis after adjustments to the condition of being and on hard bedrock (VS≈2000–3000  m/s) in the source vicinity. Next, we developed an empirical method to estimate the correspondence between the NEP spectrum levels and their annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) by considering annual occurrence frequencies for the target event group. Moreover, we showed an example that applied our approach to all over Japan, where a large number of downhole records on stiff baserock (VS≈700–3000  m/s) have been obtained by the KiK-net, a dense nationwide network of vertical array stations (pairs of surface and downhole recordings). In the example, we demonstrated that the empirical AEP spectral levels using our method are consistent with AEP response spectra, that is, uniform hazard spectra, derived from the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis using the kinematic fault rupture modeling method in a previous study.

Abstract. Near-fault ground motions with long-period pulses have been identified as being critical in the design of structures. These motions, which have caused severe damage in recent disastrous earthquakes, are characterized by a short-duration impulsive motion that transmits large amounts of energy into the structures at the beginning of the earthquake. In nearly all of the past near-fault earthquakes, significant higher mode contributions have been evident in building structures near the fault rupture, resulting in the migration of dynamic demands (i.e. drifts) from the lower to the upper stories. Due to this, the static nonlinear pushover analysis (which utilizes a load pattern proportional to the shape of the fundamental mode of vibration) may not produce accurate results when used in the analysis of structures subjected to near-fault ground motions. The objective of this paper is to improve the accuracy of the pushover method in these situations by introducing a new load pattern into the common pushover procedure. Several pushover analyses are performed for six existing reinforced concrete buildings that possess a variety of natural periods. Then, a comparison is made between the pushover analyses' results (with four new load patterns) and those of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)-356 with reference to nonlinear dynamic time-history analyses. The comparison shows that, generally, the proposed pushover method yields better results than all FEMA-356 pushover analysis procedures for all investigated response quantities and is a closer match to the nonlinear time-history responses. In general, the method is able to reproduce the essential response features providing a reasonable measure of the likely contribution of higher modes in all phases of the response.

This study focuses on obtaining such damage probability curves based on representative Inter-layer seismic isolation buildings (ILSIB) in China metropolis using whole spectral indicator. 30 corrected random earthquake waves are selected to represent the variability in ground motion. Dynamic time history analysis is used to analyze the random sample of structures. Random damage scatter diagrams based on different spectral indexes are all achieved. Index of damage probability based Sd indicator is most precise in all the spectral indexes because of the least coefficient of variation. Fragility in Y axis is more serious than in X axis through careful analysis.

Due to the upgrade and reconstruct of a high-piled wharf, the piling construction may cause the damage of the large diameter underground pipe of a power plant nearby. For this problem, a dynamic time-history analysis model was established using MIDAS/GTS program. Based on the analysis of the pile driving vibration and its propagation law, some parameters, such as the modulus of the soil, the Poissons ratio of soil, the action time of vibration load and the damping ratio of the soil that may have an effect on the response law of the soil, were studied. The study results not only serve as an important inference to the construction of this case, but also accumulate experience and data for other similar engineering practices.

This manuscript describes a subset of CyberShake numerically simulated ground motions that were selected and vetted for use in engineering response-history analyses. Ground motions were selected that have seismological properties and response spectra representative of conditions in the Los Angeles area, based on disaggregation of seismic hazard. Ground motions were selected from millions of available time series and were reviewed to confirm their suitability for response-history analysis. The processes used to select the time series, the characteristics of the resulting data, and the provided documentation are described in this article. The resulting data and documentation are available electronically.
