dc.description.abstract |
The use of ground motion records in the seismic design of structures is becoming more widespread due to the increasing availability of ground motion record databases and improving computing power. When designing significant structures, such as tall and important buildings, irregular structures, or long-span bridges in areas of high seismicity, engineers are increasingly required to perform dynamic analysis in order to show that the structure will perform satisfactorily in code design basis and rare design seismic events. Depending on the building code and structure involved, the engineer might be required to perform one or a combination of many types of seismic analyses including response spectrum analysis, nonlinear pushover analysis, and linear or nonlinear response history analysis. Those types of analysis are typically performed using artificial and/or recorded ground motion records that are usually scaled and/or modified to match the code,s design spectrum for the design event of interest. Different codes specify different and sometimes ambiguous guidelines and requirements on how the selection and matching of the design records are to be performed. The actual process followed is often a function of the individual interpretation of the seismologist or engineer, and is influenced by local common practice and the interpretations of building departments and peer review committees. In this paper, a survey of current code requirements and common practices in several countries, including the United States, China, the European Union, New Zealand and Taiwan, is presented. The intent of the paper is to present and compare the current code requirements and practices in these regions, and investigate similarities and differences, and opportunities for harmonization. |
