Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project will derive updated attenuation relations for peak and spectral horizontal and vertical ground accelerations, using a large and reliable dataset of ground motions. The effects of site, near-field conditions and earthquake mechanism on strong ground motions will be examined.Some of the dataset of time-histories used to derive these equations will be placed on a CD-ROM and this CD-ROM will be disseminated. The CD-ROM will contain about 1000 triaxial strong ground motion time-histories and their associated parameters of worldwide earthquakes which is useful for further research and seismic design. The project will focus on collecting, processing and re-formatting into a common data format those time-histories which important for seismic design but are not widely available. For each strong-motion record the effect of different correction procedures will be investigated and the most suitable one chosen for each record Individually, thereby creating a high quality body of data for the wider community. Also the corresponding parameters, which are equally important, will be collected, assessed and recalculated if this Is felt to be necessary. These data will be placed on a CD-ROM along with user-friendly browser software and documentation so that the data and parameters can be easily used.
