title: Frequency dependent duration of strong earthquake ground motion: updated empirical equations, 1995
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 95-01

description: New empirical scaling models for frequency dependent duration of strong ground motion are presented. These were developed by regression analysis of nearly 2000 three component recordings of strong ground motion, mainly in California. The large amount of data allowed resolution of path dependence of strong motion duration, and, for the first time, of a branch of distance dependence, for epicentral distances grater than about 60 to 70 km where reflections of waves from the Moho may be recorded. A variety of scaling parameters describing the local geology and soil at the site, and the propagation path were considered, and a comprehensive analysis of their significance in affecting the duration is presented. These scaling parameters include the depth of sediments, the local geologic site condition categorical variable, s, first introduced in the late 1970's, the local soil condition categorical variable, s sub L, the average soil velocity in the top 30 m, v sub L, and related categorical variable, percentage of rock and sediments along the surface projection of the wave path, and eight types of wave paths considering number of crossings of high impedence contrast boundaries (e.g., boundaries of sediments and rocks). Finally, a variety of final models are presented, based on various combinations of the scaling parameters. The choice of model in a future application would depend on the availability of various scaling parameters for the particular problem, and on the preference of the user. These models can be used to predict frequency dependent duration of strong ground motion at a site that will not be exceeded with specified confidence, given that an earthquake has occurred at a particular location. The size of the earthquake can be specified by the earthquake magnitude. As another alternative, the strong motion duration can be estimated only from the local intensity of shaking at the site.; The duration of strong ground motion is strongly correlated with damage to structures, and opportunity for liquefaction and landslides, and it must be considered in design of earthquake resistant structures.

title: Investigation of earthquake response of simple bridge structures, 1986
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 86-02

description: The effects of the often neglected rotational components of strong earthquake ground motion on the response of two structural models are investigated. The first model approximates a structure by a massless column supporting a concentrated mass at its top and excited by incident plane waves in a homogeneous elastic half-space. The linear analysis, the effects of the vertical ground motion in the frequency term of the differential equation of motion neglected. The fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm is employed to solve the nonlinear problem. The linear and nonlinear responses of the model for incident P, SV and Rayleigh wave excitations are studied. The transfer functions of the linear and nonlinear responses are investigated. The effects of rocking and vertical ground motions on the overall response of the model and on the response spectrum amplitudes are discussed.; The second model represents a three dimensional bridge with two spans erected on the elastic half-space and excited by incident body and rayleigh surface waves. The coupled-system of differential equations of motion is solved by the Runge-Kutta technique. The maximum relative rocking and twisting of the columns and the relative sliding of the girders is studied in the frequency domain. An application of the foregoing theory and examples of the response of a four span bridge model crossing a canyon and excited by transient earthquake excitations is presented.

title: Methodology for selection of earthquake design motions for important engineering structures, 1989
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 89-01

description: This report begins with a review of the physical and experimental bases for quantative description of earthquake occurrence rates and geological recurrence rates, to describe the amplitudes and the shape of the magnitude occurrance rate curves for earthquakes in a region. It considers the selection of the maximum earthquake, the limitations of geological observations and the most important sources of uncertainty. Then it presents the concept of uniform risk spectrum with the most recent refinements in this methodology, including more detailed description of the earthquake source zones, and the uncertainties of estimating a summary of the method for generating artificial accelerograms for use in engineering design. The artificial accelerogram can be derived either starting from the uniform risk spectrum computed by NEQRISK program, or by using independently determined Fourier amplitude spectra of the desired strong ground motion.; When the seismic risk at a site is dominated by the presence of an active fault nearby, the analyst may wish to compute the ground motions in terms of some physical model, which produces ground motion in terms of the assumed slip and the faulting characteristics at the earthquake source. A review of several simple sources is presented, as well as of the equations which give such motion explicitly, for simple basic contributions to the strong motion at distances close to the fault. Numerous references are cited which summarize the state of the art in forward modeling procedures of ground motion from kinematic description of the earthquake sources.; For long structures, which are sensitive to relative motions of different multiple supports, when the physical modeling of the local soil and geology requires detailed modeling of local wave scattering and diffraction, simple illustrative example for SH wave scattering is presented. The example presented in this report, in terms of SH waves, is the simplest for such an illustration. Yet it can demonstrate most of the wave propagation phenomena present in other more complex models. For input ground motions, computed either in terms of synthetic accelerograms via empirical scaling and uniform risk spectra or in terms of deterministic physical modeling, the simple two-dimensional example for SH wave scattering shows how, by using transfer function approach and Fourier analysis and synthesis, one can derive motion at multiple support points of long structures.

title: Investigation of response to earthquake excitation: a statistical basis for spectrum superposition, 1983
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 83-02

description: In the response spectrum superposition methods to earthquake-resistant design, it is assumed that: (1) the structure remains linear or can be modeled by an equivalent linear system; and (2) that vibration can be described by the superposition techniques using the largest relative (or absolute) response amplitudes of each mode. For better understanding, the evaluation of the progressing damage, and remembering that the maximum amplitudes of responses for all modes of vibration do not occur at the same time, it us useful to determine other response characteristics which, for example, relate duration of strong shaking with all, not just the largest, relative response amplitude. A theory is presented here for evaluation of the expected and the most probable amplitudes of local response peaks for each level of multi-story structure in terms of: (1) root-mean-square amplitude; (2) a measure (E) of the frequency width of the response spectrum; and (3) total number of peaks of response at each level. The parameters root-mean-square, E, and the total number of peaks are derived using a discrete transfer function model of multi-degree-of-freedom system. Comparisons of the expected and most probable values with SRSS, SUM, and CQC have been presented.

title: Strong earthquake ground motion data in EQINFOS: Yugoslavia part 1, 1987
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 87-05

description: The purpose of this report is to (1) present a quick, simple and accessible pictorial representation of strong motion data which has been processed so far for the EQINFOS data bank,and (2) to supply cross-referenced lists of earthquakes, recorded data and strong motion stations. EQINFOS (Lee and Trifunac, 1982) has been developed to help the user find quickly whether and what type of strong motion data is available, according to some preselected set of conditions, and, when such data is found, to provide the user with immediate access to the digital files on disk, via telephone link or directly from a computer terminal. Since 1982, many different analyses involving the uniformly processed data in EQINFOS have suggested that the organization and the format of this data are satisfactory, but that a simplified pictorial summary of all data would be useful.; In 1983, a cooperative project has been initiated between the IZIIS (Institute for Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology) in Skopje, Yugoslavia and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, to digitize and process all strong motion data recorded in free field in Yugoslavia. Many staff members of both organizations contributed to this effort directly or indirectly. The organization of the effort and its completion up to this point have been carried out by Drs. Jordanovski and Trifunac.; The format of this report is identical to "Strong earthquake ground motion data in EQINFOS: part 1" (Lee and Trifunac, 1987), which contains the strong motion data recorded in free field in the western United States and for the period from 1933 to 1984. This report also presents the free field data only, and for the period between 1975 and 1983.

title: Seismic risk tables for pseudo relative velocity spectra in regions with shallow seismicity, 1980
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 80-01

description: This report contains tables which may be used to estimate the probability distribution of spectral amplitude for preliminary seismic risk studies. These tables should not be considered definitive, as are, for example, tables of trigonometric functions; rather they represent the results for one particular set of amplitude scaling functions and one particular geometry for seismic region. Spectral amplitudes have been calculated for seismicity in shallow diffuse source regions using the amplitude scaling functions of Trifunac and Lee (1979a). Separate tables are given for cases where the occurrence rate of earthquakes is described in terms of magnitude statistics and in terms of Modified Mercalli Intensity statistics.; The tables cover a range of seismicity models and maximum earthquake sizes (Magnitude or Modified Mercalli Intensity) that should be adequate for preliminary risk studies in regions where earthquakes are primarily shallow events and where amplitude attenuation is not too different from that in parts of the United States.

title: Automatic digitization and processing of strong motion accelerograms, 1979
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 79-15

description: This report presents the current data reduction and analysis procedures which are used in routine processing of strong-motion accelerograms at the University of Southern California. It presents recent developments and changes with respect to our first report in 1973 dealing with this subject (Trifunac and Lee, 1973). -- The First part of this report (Part I) describes the new hardware facility for automatic computer digitization of analog film accelerograms. This facility is now completed; it is operational and performs automatic digitization on a routine basis. Since it is capable of digitizing raw data an order of magnitude faster than the semi-automatic hand-controlled digitizers considered in our previous reports (Trifunac and Lee, 1973), for completeness of the system, the entire mini-computer software package for the corresponding data handling and processing has also been developed (Part II). Though the principles of baseline correction, instrument correction and spectral analysis of strong-motion accelerograms remain the same as in Trifunac and Lee (1973), it has been necessary to modify the old programs written for an IBM-type computer, to the form convenient for a mini-computer using disk operating systems.

title: Investigation of three-dimensional soil-structure interaction, 1979
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 79-11

description: The response to seismic excitation of a three-dimensional rigid foundation embedded into an elastic half space is analyzed. The analysis is separated into two physically meaningful subproblems: the first deals with the determination of the restraining forces acting on the foundation; the second deals with the evaluation of driving forces induced by seismic waves on the fixed foundation. This analysis is applied to the case of a hemispherical foundation embedded in a homogeneous elastic half space. The exact series solutions of the mixed boundary value problem are presented. The results are compared with those of a circular flat foundation. The comparison indicates that the embedment may have a marked influence of foundation response. The impedance components of the embedded hemispherical foundation are generally larger than those of the disc foundation. For incident plane P, SV and SH waves, scattering due to embedment reduces the foundation translational motion at high frequencies, but leads to significant rocking and torsional motions.

title: Uniformly processed strong earthquake ground accelerations in the Western United States of America for the period from 1933-1971: pseudo relative velocity spectra and processing noise, 1977
title: Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 77-04

description: The purpose of this report is to present a description of the frequency dependent signal to noise ratio for 186 uniformly processed strong motion accelerograms. This data was recorded between 1933- 1971 in the Western United States and represents the first uniformly processed batch of data from the ongoing program for recording and processing of significant accelerograms of strong earthquake ground motion there. The signal to noise ratio is estimated by comparing the Pseudo Relative Velocity (PSV) spectrum of each of the records with an average PSV spectrum of digitization noise.
