Stochastic Simulation of Strong Ground Motions From Two M > 5 Uttarakhand Earthquakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Many studies based on the geodetic data and statistical analysis of seismicity have pointed out that sufficient amount of stress accumulated in the Himalayan plate boundary may host a big earthquake.

Comparison of wind turbine tower failure modes under seismic and wind loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This paper studies the structural responses and failure modes of a 1.5-MW horizontal-axis wind turbine under strong ground motions and wind loading. Ground motions were selected and scaled to match the two design response spectra given by the seismic ...

Analysis of strong ground motions to evaluate regional attenuation relationships

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2002
Italian attenuation relationships at regional scale have been refined using a data set of 322 horizontal components of strong ground motions recorded mainly during the 1997-1998 Umbria-Marche, Central Italy, earthquake sequence.

Seismic site classification from the horizontal-to-vertical response spectral ratios: use of the Spanish strong-motion database [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Normally, the average of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) ratios of the 5% damped response spectra of ground motions is used to classify the site of strong-motion stations. In these cases, only the three-orthogonal as-recorded acceleration components are

Seismic reliability assessment of classical columns subjected to near-fault ground motions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general, earthquake resistant, as proven from the fact that many classical monuments have ...

P-Delta Effects on Nonlinear Seismic Behavior of Steel Moment-Resisting Frame Structures Subjected to Near-Fault and Far-Fault Ground Motions

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
This paper presents a comparison of P-Delta effects on the nonlinear seismic behavior of the steel moment-resisting frame structures (MRFs) subjected to near-fault and far-fault ground motions.

Estimation of strong ground motions from hypothetical earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone, Pacific Northwest [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Strong ground motions are estimated for the Pacific Northwest assuming that large shallow subduction earthquakes, similar to those experienced in southern Chile, southwestern Japan, and Colombia, may also occur on the Cascadia subduction zone.

Strong Ground Motion Estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This progressive sequence of ground motion surprises suggests that the current state ofknowledge in strong motion seismology is probably not adequate to make unequivocal strong ground motion predictions. However, with these caveats in mind, strong ground motion estimation provides substantial value by reducing risks associated with earthquakes and ...

Assessment of potential strong ground motions in the city of Rome

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1994
A methodology is used which combines stochastic generation of random series with a finite-difference technique to estimate the expected horizontal ground motion for the city of Rome as induced by a large earthquake in the Central Apennines.

Predicted results of weak and strong ground motions at the target site of the blind prediction exercise as steps-2 and -3, Report for the experiments for the 6th international symposium on effects of surface geology on seismic motion

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
In this study, we compared observations and predictions submitted by participants for blind prediction experiments for ground motions using aftershocks, foreshock, and mainshock of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake sequence, Japan, to improve our ...
