The increasing availability of strong-motion accelerograms, and the relative ease with which
they can be obtained compared to synthetic or artificial records, makes the use of real …

The development of displacement-based approaches to assessment and design has
created the need for reliable displacement response spectra for a wide range of response …

This article summarises work that has been undertaken to compile the New Zealand Strong
Motion Database, which is intended to be a significant resource for both researchers and …

The duration of strong ground shaking during earthquakes can play an important rôle in the
response of foundation materials and structures, particularly when strength or stiffness …

Engineering seismology is the link between earth sciences and engineering. The main input
of engineering seismology in engineering design are loading conditions which must satisfy …

Earthquake-resistant design and seismic analysis often require the earthquake action to be
represented in the form of acceleration time-histories. Real accelerograms can be selected …

A stochastically based seismological model is described in this paper and used to generate
synthetic accelerograms that are considered representative of intraplate earthquake events …

Suites of earthquake ground motions play an important role in the seismic design and
analysis process. A semi-automated procedure is described that selects and scales ground …

A method for generating synthetic strong motion accelerograms for use in engineering
design is presented. This method utilizes the model proposed by Trifunac in 197127 in …

Recent developments in displacement-based design methodologies have increased the
need for reliable displacement design spectra, especially in long periods. The design …
