Earthquakes, Strong-Ground Motion
2011Earthquake ground motion is a natural phenomenon associ- ated with a sudden release of energy due to a fault rupture. Strong-motion seismology deals with seismic waves radiated by large earthquakes. More precisely, it is concerned with measurement, interpretation and prediction of strong shaking generated by damaging earthquakes.

When an earthquake happens, the seismic wave produced by the seismic source is a time-dependent process. Through the propagation in the earth media, the wave shape will undergo complex changes. For a given site, the ground motion can be characterized by the time history of ground motion displacements, velocities or accelerations.

Development of ground motion models compatible with ground motion prediction equations
2014One of the most important aspects of seismic risk assessment is the characterization of the earthquake hazard through appropriate models that adequately address its variability for different seismicity levels. For applications involving dynamic analysis, especially in the context of performance based earthquake engineering, this requires description of

To determine the location of an earthquake occurrence, two geometric notations, namely hypocenter and epicenter, will be introduced first. Because the majority of earthquakes are caused by the rupture of the rock along a fault or multiple faults, and thousands of square kilometers of fault plane surface may be involved in this rupture, while it is ...

Ground Motion Intensity Versus Ground Motion Kinematics. Exploring Various Intensity Measures
2018The interest for this topic was raised by the occurrence of the destructive Vrancea earthquake of 1977.03.04, when the first strong motion record of Romania was obtained at the Building Research Institute (INCERC) Bucharest. The attempt to assess the ground motion intensity on the basis of instrumental criteria specified by the Medvedev-Sponheuer ...

Intra-event spatial correlation of ground motion using L'Aquila earthquake ground motion data
2011The intensities f ground motions and structural responses at two sites are correlated. The magnitude of the correlation depends on the distance between the sites and the natural vibration period of the structures. Spatial correlation of intra-event peak ground motion amplitudes at different sites is an important issue for seismic hazard and risk ...
