Spatial variation of seismic ground motions: modeling and engineering applications
Zerva, Aspasia
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides coverage from seismological and engineering, deterministic and stochastic, as well as physical and mathematical points of view. The author describes the estimation of spatial variability from recorded data, its physical interpretation, and the developmentof spatial variability/coherency models. She uses random variation analysis to illustrate the effect of differential ground motions on the quasi-static anddynamic response of extended structures. Worked-out applications demonstrate the significance of seismic ground strains and differential motions on the seismic response of foundations, bridges, and dams. INDICE: Introduction: Significance of Differential Motions and Strains. Seismic Records and Processing. Estimation of Spatial Variability from Seismic Data. Physical Interpretation of Coherency. Simulation of Seismic Ground Motions. Synthetic and Conditionally Simulated Ground Motions. Differential Seismic Ground Motions.
