Earthquake ground motion spatial variability can influence significantly the response of
certain structures. In order to accurately evaluate probabilistic characteristics of the seismic …

The spectral representation method (SRM), based on the Cholesky decomposition of either
cross spectral density matrix or lagged coherency matrix, is widely used in the simulation of …

The seismic analysis of long-span cable suspended bridges is undoubtedly a problem in
structural analysis that involves a high number of uncertain parameters. In this work, through …

For regional hazard analysis or engineering applications, it is necessary to simulate a group
of correlated ground motions containing information from given recordings. A new method is …

A new model to simulate spatially correlated earthquake ground motions is developed. In
the model, the main factors that characterize three distinct effects of spatial variability …

This study proposes a novel approach to simulate non-stationary multivariate earthquake
accelerograms for the seismic analysis of extended structures. This approach is based on an …

A simplified procedure is proposed to generate artificial non-stationary multi-point ground
motion inputs for the dynamic seismic analysis of long span or large scale structures. The …

This paper describes the R package mvLSW. The package contains a suite of tools for the
analysis of multivariate locally stationary wavelet (LSW) time series. Key elements include:(i) …

A formulation is developed for modal response analysis of multi‐support structures using a
random vibration approach. The spectral moments of the structural response are rigorously …

Seismic response of extended structures, such as bridges, must take into account spatial
variability of earthquake ground motion (SVGM). Eurocode 8 (EC8) and the Algerian bridge …
