Ground Motion Record Selection

The increasing interest in performance-based earthquake engineering has promoted research on the improvement of hazard-consistent seismic input definition and on advanced criteria for strong motion record selection to perform nonlinear time history analyses. Within the ongoing research activities to improve the representation of seismic actions and to develop tools as a support for engineering practice, this study addresses the selection of displacement-spectrum-compatible real ground motions, with special reference to Italy. This involved (1) the definition of specific target displacement spectra for Italian sites, constrained—both at long and short periods—by results of probabilistic seismic hazard analyses; (2) the compilation of a high-quality strong ground motion database; and (3) the development of a software tool for computer-aided displacement-based record selection. Application examples show that sets of unscaled, or lightly scaled, accelerograms with limited record-to-record spectral variability can also easily be obtained when a broadband spectral compatibility is required.

Ground Motion Record Selection

Performing time history dynamic analysis using site-specific ground motion records according to the increasing interest in the performance-based earthquake engineering has encouraged studies related to site-specific Ground Motion Record (GMR) selection methods. This study addresses a ground motion record selection approach based on three different multi-objective optimization algorithms including Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and Pareto Envelope-based Selection Algorithm II (PESA-II). The method proposed in this paper selects records efficiently by matching dispersion and mean spectrum of the selected record set and target spectrums in a predefined period. Comparison between the results shows that NSGA II performs better than the other algorithms in the case of GMR selection.

The Impact

The growth of global ground-motion databases has allowed generation of non-ergodic ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) based on specific on-site recordings. Several studies have investigated the differences between the hazard estimates from ergodic versus non-ergodic GMPEs. Here instead we focus on the impact of non-ergodic PSHA estimates on the seismic risk of nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom systems representing ductile structures and compare it with the traditional risk estimates obtained using ergodic GMPEs. The structure-and-site-specific risk estimates depend not only on the difference in the hazard estimates but also on the different hazard-consistent ground-motion record selection that informs the response calculation. The more accurate structure-and-site-specific non-ergodic risk estimates show that traditional ones may be biased in a way impossible to predict a priori. Hence, the use of the non-ergodic approach is recommended, whenever possible. However, further advancements of non-ergodic GMPEs are necessary before being routinely utilized in real-life risk assessment applications.
