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 …

The conditional spectrum (CS) is a target spectrum (with conditional mean and conditional
standard deviation) that links seismic hazard information with ground‐motion selection for …

The increasing interest in performance-based earthquake engineering has promoted
research on the improvement of hazard-consistent seismic input definition and on advanced …

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) funded a project to improve
guidance to the earthquake engineering profession for selecting and scaling earthquake …

For performance‐based design, nonlinear dynamic structural analysis using various types of
input ground motions is required. Stochastic (simulated) ground motions are sometimes …

In this study, the effect of different strategies which consider various levels of constraints for
spectrally matched ground motion (GM) selection on seismic responses of the buildings was …

This paper reviews various selection methods of real records for time-history analysis of
structures in recent years. The selections of criteria and required numbers of records are …

Increasing number of real ground motion (GM) record databases raised nonlinear dynamic
analysis (NDA) as an attractive option to determine structural response statistics. Structural …

Simulated ground motions have the potential to advance seismic hazard assessments and
structural response analyses, particularly for conditions with limited recorded ground …
