The range of response frequencies for which spectral ordinates obtained from accelerograms may be considered reliable is limited by several factors, primary among them being the effects of filters that are routinely applied to remove noise from the records. Considerable attention has been focused on the low-frequency limit of the usable spectral ordinates because of various engineering applications requiring long-period spectral accelerations or displacements but only recently have rational approaches to selecting the high-frequency limit been proposed. Since there are applications for which the high-frequency spectral ordinates are important, the approaches to this issue presented in the recent studies are reviewed and their application to the ground-motion database from Europe and the Middle East is explored. On the basis of the results of these analyses, it is concluded that a large proportion of this dataset can be used to provide reliable estimates of response spectral ordinates at much shorter periods than may have previously been considered feasible.

Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25) This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Effect of near-fault ground motion and damper characteristics on the seismic performance of chevron braced steel frames Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2007-06-01) This study is aimed at comparing the seismic performance of steel chevron braced frames (CBFs) with and without fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) as a function of the characteristics of the near-fault (NF) ground motion and FVD parameters. For this purpose, comparative nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses of single and multiple storey CBFs with and without FVDs are conducted using NF ground motions with various velocity pulse periods scaled to have small, moderate and large intensities. Additionally, NLTH anal...
Influence of long-period filter cut-off on elastic spectral displacements Akkar, Dede Sinan; Bommer, Julian J. (Wiley, 2006-07-25) The effect of the long-period filter cut-off, T-c, on elastic spectral displacements is investigated using a strong ground-motion database from Europe and the Middle East. The relation between the filter and oscillator responses is considered to observe the influence of T-c for both analogue and digital records, and the variations with site classification, magnitude, filter order and viscous damping. Robust statistics are derived using the re-processed European data to generalize the effects of the long-per...
A new method for automated estimation of joint roughness coefficient for 2D surface profiles using power spectral density Unlusoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) In this study, a new method for the objective and accurate estimation of the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) of surface profiles, which are extracted from terrestrial laser scanner point clouds, is proposed. The requirements of objectivity, accuracy, reliability, and suitability for automatic analysis have been the basic criteria in assessing the performance of the procedure for JRC estimation. The procedure to estimate the JRC value of a sample profile is based on a similarity measure, between the third-...
Effect of peak ground velocity on deformation demands for SDOF systems Akkar, S; Ozen, O (Wiley, 2005-11-10) The effect of peak ground velocity (PGV) on single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) deformation demands and for certain ground-motion features is described by using a total of 60 soil site records with source-to-site distances less than 23 km and moment magnitudes between 5.5 and 7.6. The observations based on these records indicate that PGV correlates well with the earthquake magnitude and provides useful information about the ground-motion frequency content and strong-motion duration that can play a role on the s...
