The basic elements of probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis (psha) were established almost
four decades ago and psha has now become the most widely used approach for estimating …

This paper introduces a method for the evaluation of the seismic risk at the site of an
engineering project. The results are in terms of a ground motion parameter (such as peak …

Almost every step in the seismic design process is beset by uncertainty. This chapter deals
with one key step in this process: prediction of the re sponse of structures with known …

Global Tectonics and Earthquake Risk discusses the geostatistical treatment of earthquake
probabilities. The book reviews global tectonics and geologic history, including evidence of …

A unified theory is presented that deals with the spectral description, the convolution, and
the filtering on non-stationary stochastic processes. Two time-dependent spectrum …

In probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, assessment of the three recurrence parameters,
namely the mean activity rate λ λ, Gutenberg–Richter b b-value, and maximum possible …

Typical mathematical techniques of operations research and systems engineering are
developed in this text, which applies these methods to the design and operation of civil …

The present study aims at developing a prediction model for ground motion intensity
measures using the artificial neural network (ANN) technique for active shallow crustal …

Stochastic earthquake response of structures on sliding foundation is studied. The structure
is modeled by a rigid mass and Coulomb friction is considered between the structure and its …

In its present form the response spectrum superposition technique provides only the highest
peak of the response at various levels of a multistory structure. For better understanding of …
