A study of methods for including uncertainty in Seismic PSA [PDF]
, 2018 This thesis reviews current methodologies for conducting seismic Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PSA) for nuclear power plants, focussing on methods allowing for uncer- tainties in PSA input data. The techniques used to characterise earthquake ground motion and component failure probabilities (fragilities) and their uncertainties are described, and the ...

Seismic Ground Response Analysis of Input Earthquake Motion and Site Amplification Factor at KUET
Journal of the Civil Engineering Forum, 2021 Ground motion is the movement of the earth's surface due to explosions or the propagation of seismic waves. In the seismic design process, ground response analysis evaluates the impact of local soil conditions during earthquake shaking.

Dimensional response analysis of bilinear systems subjected to non-pulselike earthquake ground motions [PDF]
, 2011 The maximum inelastic response of bilinear single-degree-of-freedom systems when subjected to ground motions without distinguishable pulses is revisited with dimensional analysis by identifying time scales and length scales in the time histories of ...

Assessing infrequent large earthquakes using geomorphology and geodesy in the Malawi Rift [PDF]
, 2015 In regions with large, mature fault systems, a characteristic earthquake model may be more appropriate for modelling earthquake occurrence than extrapolating from a short history of small, instrumentally observed earthquakes using the Gutenberg–Richter ...
