Analysis of long-distance earthquake tremors and base shear demand for buildings in Singapore

Modelling Propagation of Stress Waves through Soil Medium for Ground Response Analysis

“…Building codes are simplified tools and do not adequately represent any single earthquake event from a probable source for the site under consideration. Recently, it has been recommended [11][12][13][14] that in addition to the use of seismic codes, site-specific analysis which includes generation of strong ground motion at bedrock level and propagating it through soil layers and arriving at the design ground motions and response spectra at surface should also be carried out in the design of important…”

Experimental hysteresis loops validation using HYSTERES program for beam-column joints under lateral cyclic loading

“…Ruaumoko has been used throughout the world by academic researchers and professionals for modeling the concrete frame structures under earthquake loading [3,4,5,6]. The key advantage of Ruaumoko is it allows a wide range of modeling variables to be utilized includes of hysteresis rules, mass of the structure, damping and stiffness factors [7,8].…”

Site-Specific Seismic Analyses Procedures for Framed Buildings for Scenario Earthquakes Including the Effect of Depth of Soil Stratum

“…Further, building codes are highly simplified tools and do not adequately represent any single earthquake event from a probable source for the site under consideration. Recently, it is being suggested (Heuze et al, 2004 ) that in addition to use of seismic code provisions, site-specific analysis which includes generation of strong ground motion at bedrock level and propagating it through soil layers (Heuze et al, 2004;Mammo 2005;Balendra et al, 2002) and arriving at the design ground motions and response spectra at surface should also be carried out. In this chapter the procedure to carry out site-specific seismic analysis of framed buildings is illustrated with examples for Delhi city.…”
