Selection and scaling of ground motion records have been recognised as one of the major
sources of bias and uncertainty in the seismic assessment of civil engineering structures …

This paper describes an algorithm to efficiently select ground motions from a database while
matching a target mean, variance, and correlations of response spectral values at a range of …

Dynamic structural analysis often requires the selection of input ground motions with a target
mean response spectrum. The variance of the target response spectrum is usually ignored …

The primary goal of this project was to develop strategies for selecting standardized sets of
ground motions for use by the PEER Transportation Research Program. The broad research …

A generalized conditional intensity measure (GCIM) approach is proposed for use in the
holistic selection of ground motions for any form of seismic response analysis. The essence …

Seismic site response analysis evaluates the influence of local soil conditions on
earthquake ground shaking. There are multiple sources of potential uncertainty in this …

Current fully probabilistic approaches to performance-based earthquake engineering
describe structures' behavior under a wide range of seismic hazard levels. These …

An algorithm is presented for the selection of ground motions for use in seismic response
analysis. The algorithm is based on the use of random realizations from the conditional …

Selection of appropriate ground motion (GM) records for nonlinear dynamic analysis (NDA)
of structures plays a crucial role to estimate structural responses reasonably. In this study, a …

Amplitude scaling is commonly used to select ground motions matching a target response
spectrum. In this paper, the effect of scaling limits on ground motion selection, based on the …
