Earthquake Accelerogram Selection and Scaling Procedures for Estimating the Distribution of Drift Response

摘要: The problem of selecting a suite earthquake accelerograms for time-domain analyses is particular practical and academic interest. Research in this field has led to numerous approaches compiling suites that may be used robustly estimate the median structural response. However, many applications engineering require estimation full distribution response parameter predefined scenario. This article presents an efficient procedure whereby distributions interstory or roof drifts well approximated. makes use three-point approximations continuous strong correlation exists between spectral acceleration at initial fundamental period structure drift obtained under proposed approach are compared with reference assumed represent true underlying distrib...
