Base isolation systems have been recently employed for structures as retrofitting strategies especially in seismologically active zones. For such base isolated systems, one challenging task is the investigation of seismic demand parameters under destructive earthquakes. Since the number of recorded ground motions corresponding to large intensities is limited, use of simulated records is an alternative option to overcome this issue. There are several ground motion simulation approaches with various levels of accuracy at different frequency bands. Before using simulations for analyses of base isolated structures, further research should be performed to check their efficiency in simulating alternative structural demand parameters compared to those assessed through the use of real ground motion records. In this work, a 6-story steel moment-resisting frame is selected from the SAC Steel Project as the case study building, and the frame is retrofitted with lead rubber bearings in accordance with ASCE 7‐10. Then, in order to check the efficiency of simulations from alternative ground motion simulation methods in estimating the structural demand parameters of the selected frame, nonlinear time history analysis is performed for the developed model of the case study building under the observed and simulated records of a past event. The past earthquake is selected as the 6 April 2009 L’Aquila (Italy) earthquake (Mw=6.3). The alternative ground motion simulation methods considered herein are the stochastic finite-fault method based on a dynamic frequency approach and the hybrid integral-composite technique. Comparison of the results from the observed and simulated ground motion record sets based on alternative simulation approaches is accomplished in terms of energy-based seismic engineering demand parameter which is the seismic input energy herein. The numerical results of this study demonstrate that differences in terms of the real and estimated energy-based engineering demand parameter vary depending on ground motion simulation approach.

Comparison Of Structural Responses for a Base Isolated Building Under Real and Simulated Records Ozsarac, Volkan; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan, Ayşegül (null; 2019-06-01) In recent decades, base isolation systems for buildings are commonly used as retrofitting strategy in earthquake-prone areas. Evaluation of structural responses for base-isolated systems subjected to severe earthquakes is challenging since some regions have scattered ground motion dataset. Simulated ground motions can be an alternative to overcome this issue. There are several ground motion simulation methods available that provide varying levels of goodness fit between observed and synthetic data; therefor...
ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVE GROUND MOTION SIMULATION TECHNIQUES IN NONLINEAR TIME HISTORY ANALYSES OF BASE ISOLATED MULTI-STORY FRAME BUILDING: A CASE STUDY Ozsarac, Volkan; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (null; 2018-09-02) In recent decades, base isolation system for buildings has been commonly used as retrofitting strategy. Evaluation of structural responses for such a system subjected to severe earthquakes is challenging since some regions have very few and scatted ground motion data set. Simulated ground motions can be an alternative to overcome this issue. There are several ground motion simulation methods available that provide varying levels of goodness fit between observed and synthetic data; therefore, it is important...
Numerical Simulation of three Base Isolation Systems for Earthquake Protection of Structures Dölen, Melik (null; 2003-10-10) In a previous paper [1&2] a base isolation system was proposed for earthquake protection of structures. The system incorporates spherical supports for the base, a specially designed spring-cam system to keep the base rigidly supported under normal conditions and to allow it to move for the duration of the earthquake under the constraint of a spring with optimized stiffness characteristics. A high-rise structure was considered to investigate the feasibility of the concept. The simulation of the system respon...
COMPARISONS OF ALTERNATIVE SEISMIC INTENSITY PARAMETERS FOR SELECTED SETS OF REAL AND SIMULATED GROUND MOTION RECORDS Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2018-09-02) In areas where inadequate number of regional real ground motion records are available, seismic vulnerability of structural systems can be assessed alternatively using simulated records generated for potential scenario events at the region of interest. However, the main question of interest herein is the accuracy of these simulated records. Thus, this study aims to obtain and compare alternative seismic ground motion intensity measures for the selected sets of real and simulated ground motion records. For th...
Simulation Based Optimal Sensor Actuator Positioning on a Fin Like Structure Pedremasl, Nıma; Şahin, Melin; Acar, Erdem (2015-06-26) Aircraft structures are subjected to high amplitude dynamic loads under service conditions; hence, it is necessary to determine their dynamic properties. Dynamic properties of a structure can be determined using simulation-based methods (e.g., finite element method) or using experimental modal analysis (EMA) methods. An EMA system should be lightweight and accurate so that it does not have a negative impact on the dynamic performance of the structure. For this purpose, the transducers (sensor and actuators)...
