The uncertainties of earthquake currently were not considered with the various lateral load patterns of pushover. The convex set theory, which requires much less information, is employed to model the uncertainties of the seismic influence coefficient maximum and the characteristic period of response spectrum. Then the convex analysis method is integrated into the fundamental equation of pushover, and the analytic relationship of lateral seismic load and top displacement of buildings is derived. The results of numerical example shows that the new lateral load pattern of pushover proposed in this research may effective simulate the uncertainties of strong ground motion.

Surface response spectra for earthquake events must be based upon proper input seismic modelling. The surface response spectrum can be determined by convoluting a base response spectrum with a spectral amplification for the site. This required that an appropriate base spectrum of the earthquake motion and soil response model must have been used to develop the surface response spectra. Earthquakes in the Puget Sound basin are generally deep focus subduction zone events. These earthquakes are significantly different than the shallow focus strike slip events of California which are commonly used for this purpose. The spectral site amplification must be determined for the soils of the region. This paper considers the cohesionless soil sites only. The computer program SHAKE was used to evaluate the spectral amplification of different sites. Parameters for SHAKE were determined from Standard Penetration Test data. Parametric sensitivity studies were conducted for the spectral site amplification.

Моделирование пропульсивных характеристик судов с использованием малых самоходных моделей в опытовых бассейнах производится исходя из подобия чисел Фруда, при этом обеспечить подобие по числу Рейнольдса не удаётся. В связи с не полным моделированием параметров как потока обтекающего корпус модели, так и потока набегающего на её винт, возникает гидродинамическое несоответствие сил сопротивления самоходной модели и упора её движителя при масштабной скорости, обеспечиваемой буксировочной тележкой. Таким образом, моделирование сопряжено с рядом масштабных погрешностей, нейтрализация которых как в физическом исполнении, так и посредством введения расчётных поправок является важной задачей. Рассматривается возможность организации у корпуса и движителя самоходной модели потоков разной плотности для нейтрализации некоторых видов масштабных погрешностей. Для анализа выбрана зависимость пересчёта с модели на натуру, использующая поправочные коэффициенты в виде степенной функции масштаба для корпуса и движителя модели. Получены зависимости взаимосвязи плотностей обтекающего корпус и набегающего на гребной винт потоков в оговариваемых вариантах соотношения степеней пересчёта с модели на натурное судно. Намечаются подходы к практической реализации рассматриваемой задачи изменения натекающих потоков, обтекающих корпус и движитель самоходной модели, связанные с отсосом и подачей жидкости. Simulation of propulsive characteristics of vessels using small self-propelled models in the experimental pools is based on the similarity of Froude numbers, while it is not possible to provide similarity in the Reynolds number. Due to the incomplete modeling of the parameters of both the flow around the body of the model and the flow incident on its screw, there is a hydrodynamic mismatch of the resistance forces of the self-propelled model and the emphasis of its propulsion at the scale speed provided by the towing cart. Thus, the simulation involves a number of large-scale errors, the neutralization of which both in physical performance and through the introduction of computational corrections is an important task. The possibility of organization of self-propelled model of flows of different density for neutralization of some types of scale errors is considered. For the analysis, the dependence of the conversion from model to nature, using the correction factors in the form of a power function of the scale of the model for the body and the engine of the model, was chosen. The dependences of the relationship of the densities streams around the hull and the propeller streams to be specified embodiments, the ratio of the degree of recalculate dependencies of the model of the hull and propeller to full-scale vessel. Approaches to the practical implementation of the considered problem of changing the flowing flows around the hull and the self-propelled propulsion associated with the suction and supply of liquid are outlined.

Local site amplification of sedimentary deposit during earthquakes is an important issue in strong ground motion analysis. The phenomenon is more obvious for sediment basin. From the strong-motion instrumentation network of Taipei basin, the ground motion characteristics of the basin effects are studied from two seismic events: the June 5, 1994 earthquake with ML = 6.57 and the June 25, 1995 earthquake with ML = 6.50. The objective is to investigate the effects of the basin structure on the patterns of the recorded ground motions. The analyses include: (1) response spectrum and spectral ratio analyses; (2) correlation of seismic source, PGA distribution and strong-motion duration with site amplification, (3) principal direction analysis of seismic waves in the basin. The observed variations of ground motion across the basin are different from each other because of the basin effect. It means that for the Taipei basin, the basin effects for shallow sources are going to be much more significant than for the deep sources.
