Simulation of Synthetic Ground Motions for Specified Earthquake and Site Characteristics
What we have done so far:
Developed a stochastic site-based model for far-field strong ground motions.
Developed empirical predictive equations for the model parameters.
Compared elastic response spectra (median and variability) to NGA relations.
Ongoing activity and what we plan to accomplish by May 2010:
Simulate orthogonal horizontal ground motion components.
Extend the model to near-field ground motions.
Scrutinize the simulated motions for inelastic structural responses.
