This paper reviews alternative selection procedures based on established methods for
incorporating strong ground motion records within the framework of seismic design of …

The seismic behavior of asymmetric building structures is often complex and reductions to
plane problems which can be analyzed with a single horizontal ground-motion component …

Within seismology, geology, civil and structural engineering, deep learning (DL), especially
via generative adversarial networks (GANs), represents an innovative, engaging, and …

Seismic input to nonlinear dynamic analyses of structures is usually defined in terms of
acceleration time series whose response spectra are compatible with a specified target …

A generalized conditional intensity measure (GCIM) approach is proposed for use in the
holistic selection of ground motions for any form of seismic response analysis. The essence …

A method for generating a suite of synthetic ground motion time‐histories for specified
earthquake and site characteristics defining a design scenario is presented. The method …

The fundamental objective of earthquake engineering is to protect lives and livelihoods
through the reduction of seismic risk. Directly or indirectly, this generally requires …

Seismic site response analysis evaluates the influence of local soil conditions on
earthquake ground shaking. There are multiple sources of potential uncertainty in this …

The seismic design provisions of the 2005 National building code of Canada (NBCC)(NRC
2005) describe earthquake ground motions for which structures are to be designed in terms …

An algorithm is presented for the selection of ground motions for use in seismic response
analysis. The algorithm is based on the use of random realizations from the conditional …
