A predictive model is presented for estimating the peak inelastic oscillator displacements (S-d,S-ie) from peak ground velocity (PGV). The proposed model accounts for the variation of S-d,S-ie for bilinear hysteretic behavior under constant ductility (mu) and normalized lateral strength ratio (R) associated with postyield stiffness ratios of alpha = 0 and 5%. The regression coefficients are based on a ground-motion database that contains dense-to-stiff soil site recordings at distances of up to 30 km from the causative fault. The moment magnitude (M) range of the database is 5.2 <= M <= 7.6 and the ground motions do not exhibit pulse-dominant signals. Confined to the limitations imposed by the ground-motion database, the model can estimate S-d,S-ie by employing the PGV predictions obtained from the attenuation relationships (ground-motion prediction equations). In this way, the influence of important seismological parameters can be incorporated to the variation of S-d,S-ie in a fairly rationale manner. This feature of the predictive model advocates its implementation in the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis that employs scalar ground-motion intensity indices. Various case studies are presented to show the consistent estimations of S-d,S-ie by the proposed model. The error propagation in the S-d,S-ie estimations is also discussed when the proposed model is associated with attenuation relationships. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

DURUCAN, CENGİZHAN; Durucan, Ayse Rusen (2016-10-01)
This research study is focused on an improved statistical equation proposed to estimate the inelastic displacement ratio, C-1, of structures subjected to sequential (pre-shock, main shock, after shock) pulse type near fault (NF) ground motions. Proposed equation considers the effects of fundamental vibration period of the structure, T, lateral strength ratio, R, and frequency content of the design earthquake on the variation of the response. Frequency content of the design earthquake, represented by the A(p...
Peak ground velocity sensitive deformation demands and a rapid damage assessment approach
Akkar, S; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2003-05-13)
The effect of peak ground velocity (PGV) on the maximum inelastic deformation demand of simple, non-degrading structural systems is studied. Ground motion data sets are assembled for pre-defined ranges of PGV and they are used to conduct nonlinear response history analysis of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems. The study is focused on short and intermediate periods of vibration (T) and strength reduction factor (R) is used to define the lateral capacity of the structure. As part of the study, a simple ...
A First-Order Linear Model for the Estimation of Detonation Velocity
Türker, Burhan Lemi (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
A linear multivariable model has been derived for the estimation of detonation velocity. Then, its two simplified forms, first-order linear models, have been proposed as estimators of detonation velocities of a large population of explosives having different skeletal structures. Then, the models are analyzed mathematically and regression equations are obtained and discussed. The first model possesses two independent variables E/M and density, whereas the second one is based on E/M only. The total energy (E)...

AN ESTIMATION OF THE MAXIMUM INTERSTORY DRIFT RATIO FOR SHEAR-WALL TYPE STRUCTURES

In displacement-based engineering, the maximum interstory drift ratio (MIDR) is one of the most influential parameters for evaluating the seismic performance of existing structural systems. MIDR is also a key parameter in force-based designs satisfying serviceability lit-nits for new structural systems. A set of predictive equations is derived for estimating MIDR on shear-wall systems with fundamental periods ranging from 0.5 to 1.25 s. The equations are derived from a recently compiled ground-motion datase...
