CHAOTIC CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS OF STRONG EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTIONS
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2012This paper aims to analyze and understand the irregularity and complexity of earthquake ground motions from the perspective of nonlinear dynamics. Chaotic dynamics theory and chaotic time series analysis are suggested to examine the nonlinear dynamical characteristic of strong earthquake ground motions.

The Nature of Earthquake Ground Motion
1989The aim of this chapter is to provide a basic understanding about earthquakes, their world-wide distribution, what causes them, their likely damage mechanisms, earthquake measuring scales, and current efforts on the prediction of strong seismic ground motions. This chapter, therefore, furnishes the basic information necessary for understanding the more

Amplification of Earthquake Ground Motions by Surface Ground
2019This chapter introduces the amplification of seismic ground motion by surface ground. A calculation method for the amplification magnification of the acceleration due to surface grounds \( G_{s} \) is presented and a concrete calculation example is shown.

Representation of Earthquake Ground Motions
2016It is noted that the most important parameters of an earthquake ground motions are its maximum motion, predominant period and effective durations [1]. However, different from other loadings, earthquake induced loading and ground motion cherish high uncertainties in these aspects, as well as, more broadly, on its occurrence, magnitude, frequency content

Stochastic nature of earthquake ground motion
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2013Abstract In this paper, we analyze the irregular behavior of earthquake ground motion as recorded during the Kraljevo M5.4 earthquake, which occurred on November 3rd, 2010 in Serbia. We perform the analysis for the ground accelerations recorded at 6 seismological stations: Grua, Ruda, Rada, Bara, Zaga and Bdva.

Ground Motions from Past Earthquakes
2020During earthquakes, the ground shakes in all three directions. The inertia of freestanding structures, such as buildings, bridges, and dams, prevents them from moving in unison with the ground. As a result, structures deform and develop stresses. This chapter discusses the ground motion characteristics which affect the response of structures.

Earthquake Ground Motion and Response Spectra
2001This chapter surveys the state-of-the-art work in strong motion seismology and ground motion characterization. Methods of ground motion recording and correction are first presented, followed by a discussion of ground motion characteristics including peak ground motion, duration of strong motion, and frequency content.
