Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...

Comparison of Seismic Performance Assessment Using Observed or Simulated Ground Motions in Seismic Hazard Analysis and Ground Motion Selection

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are
