Amplitude variability in simulated incoherent seismic ground motions1 / Dimitris Pachakis in Journal of engineering mechanics, Vol. 133 N°7 (Juillet 2007) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of engineering mechanics > Vol. 133 N°7 (Juillet 2007) . - pp.844–848. Titre : Amplitude variability in simulated incoherent seismic ground motions1 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dimitris Pachakis, Auteur ; Lambros S. Katafygiotis, Auteur ; Aspasia Zerva, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : pp.844–848. Note générale : Applied mechanics Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ground  motion  Simulation  models  Random  processes  Spectral  density  function  Spectral  analysis  Fourier  transform Résumé : This note compares in detail four commonly used schemes for the simulation of spatially variable ground motions. Emphasis is placed not only on the conformity of the simulations with the power and cross spectral density of the random field but, also, on the examination of the consistency of the simulations with the homogeneity condition, and the (Fourier) amplitude variability of the simulations. It is shown that, whereas three techniques that simulate ground motions in parallel satisfy the homogeneity requirement, produce simulations with random amplitudes, and amplitude and phase variability consistent with that of recorded data, one technique that simulates motions in sequence does not.
