Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of engineering mechanics > Vol. 138 N° 9 (Septembre 2012) . - pp.1141–1156. Titre : Estimating rotational components of ground motion using data recorded at a single station Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dhiman Basu, Auteur ; Andrew S. Whittaker, Auteur ; Michael C. Constantinou, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp.1141–1156. Note générale : Mécanique appliquée Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Earthquake  Ground  motion  Rotation  Wave  propagation  Single  recording  station  Codes Résumé : Seismic analysis, design, and performance assessment of buildings, bridges, and safety-related nuclear structures is based on two or three translational components of earthquake ground motion. Although rotational components (rocking and torsional) may contribute significantly to translational and torsional response and damage, they are not considered in design and assessment because their intensity and frequency content are not measured by accelerograms deployed in the free field. A method for developing rotational time series by first deconstructing the three translational time series of a ground motion recorded at one station into body waves is presented in this paper. The body waves are then reassembled to generate rotational time series. Point and line source representations of the fault rupture are considered. Results of the single station procedure are presented using rotational acceleration spectra and compared with the multiple-station-based geodetic method. The spectra are similar at periods greater than 1 s. The spectral ordinates computed using the geodetic method are significantly smaller at shorter periods, which is attributed to the underlying assumption of a plane surface for the recorded data at any time instant in the method.
