Electric equipment qualification is generally based on shake-table tests that use generic response spectra as the target intensity measure for the ground motions used. Th [...]

At high frequencies, the amplitude of the Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS) of acceleration decays rapidly. Anderson and Hough (1984) [1] introduced the spectral decay fac [...]

NGA-Subduction is a large multidisciplinary, multi-year research program to develop database resources and ground motion models (GMMs) for subduction-zone earthquakes. Co [...]

Performance assessments of the built environment using numerical simulation uses suites of ground motions which are selected, scaled and modified such that their energy c [...]

For cities located in regions susceptible to strong earthquake shakings, seismic design of buildings and other facility is always a critical concern for structural engine [...]

Earthquake risk reduction requires robust analysis frameworks to estimate the vulnerability of structural systems subjected to seismic shaking. A methodology to estimate [...]

The variability (sigma) associated with empirical ground-motion prediction equations has a significant impact on the results of seismic hazard analysis, and in some cases [...]
