Curvograms of Strong Earthquake Ground Motion

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1990
A method for the synthetic generation of curvograms (curvature versus time) associated with strong earthquake shaking is presented. It is shown that small radii of curvative of ground motion, in the range of several hundred meters, are possible only for very large accelerations (1–3 ge/u), near epicenter, and in soft geologic and soil environment, with

The Barrier Model and Strong Ground Motion

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2003
An overview of the most important developments in Engineering (or Strong Motion) Seismology is presented alongside Professor Keiiti Aki’s contributions, who is one of the founders of this field. The mechanics of earthquake rupture are discussed with due emphasis on the various physical phenomena. The presentation is made in a tutorial manner, borrowing

Site effects on strong ground motion

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 1987
Abstract A review of some of the available methods to study the effects of site conditions on strong ground motion is presented. The need of unified treatment of source, path and side effects in the assessment of seismic risk is pointed out.

Directionality of Strong Ground Motion Durations

2014
Directionality of ground motions is an important aspect to be considered in seismic design and is incorporated in the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) center’s Next Generation Attenuation Ground Motions (NGA) projects and ASCE7-10. However, the NGA models and ASCE7-10 are limited to ground motion response spectra.

Investigation of strong earthquake ground motion

1969
The pattern of energy release during the Imperial Valley, California, earthquake of 1940 is studied by analysing the El Centro strong motion seismograph record and records from the Tinemaha seismograph station, 546 km from the epicenter. The earthquake was a multiple event sequence with at least 4 events recorded at El Centro in the first 25 seconds ...

EMPIRICAL SCALING OF STRONG EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION - PART III: SYNTHETIC STRONG MOTION

ISET Journal of Earthquake Technology, 2002
A comprehensive and general method for the prediction of strong motion amplitudes, developed by Strong Motion Research Group at University of Southern California, is reviewed. It uses synthetic translational accelerograms and the theory of linear wave propagation to predict all other components of strong motion: rotations (torsion and rocking), strains
