In regions with sparse ground motion data, simulations provide alternative acceleration time series for evaluation of the dynamic response of a structure. Different ground motion simulation methods provide varying levels of goodness of fit between observed and synthetic data. Before using the seismologically acceptable synthetic records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of synthetics in predicting observed seismic responses of structures. For this purpose, in this study we present nonlinear time history analyses of multi-story reinforced concrete frames under observed and synthetic records of a particular earthquake. Synthetic records of 6 April 2009 L'Aquila (Italy) earthquake (Mw = 6.3) are simulated using both the Hybrid integral-Composite method and the Stochastic Finite-Fault method. Results of analyses from observed and the alternative synthetic records of this event are compared in terms of maximum displacement, acceleration and plastic beam rotation of each story level. Our results indicate that the match between the Fourier Amplitude Spectrum of the observed and synthetic records around the frequencies that correspond to the fundamental period of the structure (mainly within 0.2-1.2% of the fundamental period) governs the misfit between the observed and synthetic nonlinear responses. It is also shown that even for cases where nonlinear behavior is more likely, period-dependent SDOF indicators of goodness of fit between a particular observed and corresponding synthetic records represents the difference in MDOF behavior of frame structures due to these records. Finally, simulation of realistic amplitudes over the entire broadband frequency range of interest is found to be critical while using the synthetics for earthquake engineering purposes.

Assessment of synthetic ground motion records obtained from alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-storey frame buildings: A case study
Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2014-07-02)
Full time series of ground acceleration are required for nonlinear time history analyses to evaluate the dynamic response of a structure under earthquake excitations. In regions with sparse ground motion data, alternative ground motion simulation techniques are used to generate acceleration time series with varying levels of accuracy. While using simulated records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of these records in predicting the real engineering demands. For this purp...
Assessment of Simulated Ground Motions in Earthquake Engineering Practice: A Case Study for Duzce (Turkey)
Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2015-11-20)
Simulated ground motions can be used in structural and earthquake engineering practice as an alternative to or to augment the real ground motion data sets. Common engineering applications of simulated motions are linear and nonlinear time history analyses of building structures, where full acceleration records are necessary. Before using simulated ground motions in such applications, it is important to assess those in terms of their frequency and amplitude content as well as their match with the correspondi...

Numerical Solution of Multi-scale Electromagnetic Boundary Value Problems by Utilizing Transformation-Based Metamaterials
Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2011-06-23)
We present numerical solution techniques for efficiently handling multi-scale electromagnetic boundary value problems having fine geometrical details or features, by utilizing spatial coordinate transformations. The principle idea is to modify the computational domain of the finite methods (such as the finite element or finite difference methods) by suitably placing anisotropic metamaterial structures whose material parameters are obtained by coordinate transformations, and hence, to devise easier and effic...
Multiscale Modeling of Thin-Wire Coupling Problems Using Hybridization of Finite Element and Dipole Moment Methods and GPU Acceleration
ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2020-01-01)
In this article, a hybrid numerical method, called finite element method (FEM) + dipole moment (DM), is presented for efficient solution of multiscale electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems that involve structures with fine features, such as thin-wire antennas or objects. In this method, the FEM is hybridized with the DM approach to help ease certain computational burdens, such as mesh refinement, ill-conditioning, memory overload, and long computation times, when solving multiscale problems with...
