A physically plausible second order random function has been selected to represent ground
acceleration. Several member functions have been presented in graphical form. Some of the …

abstract A new method of synthesizing artificial accelerograms, based on knowledge of the
temporal and spatial properties of the energy-release mechanism, incorporates the effects of …

The concept of the response spectrum Method was formulated and proposed in 1932 for use
in the analysis and design of earthquake-resistant structures. To commemorate the 70th …

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 …

The S-transform is a special type of Fourier transform with the time localization and
frequency dependent window. It is viewed as a hybrid of continuous wavelet transform and …

The response spectrum method (RSM) in earthquake engineering was conceived and then
fully developed by MA Biot (1905–1985) during the period of about 10yr, between 1932 and …

The status of probabilistic design to resist earthquakes is surveyed. Studies of local and
regional seismicity are covered, with applications of Bayes' theorem, as well as studies of …

A method is developed for generating a random process that has the pertinent properties of
recorded strong-motion earthquake accelerograms. The model accelerograms are sections …

Although a wide variety of response spectrum methods have been developed to estimate
peak horizontal building responses, much less attention has been devoted to study the …

This paper formulates a theoretically consistent definition of the wind response spectrum
based upon the equivalent wind spectrum technique, a calculation procedure by means of …
