This paper reviews alternative selection procedures based on established methods for
incorporating strong ground motion records within the framework of seismic design of …

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 …

A common goal of dynamic structural analysis is to predict the response of a structure
subjected to ground motions having a specified spectral acceleration at a given period. This …

Complete, practical coverage of the evaluation, analysis, and design and code requirements
of seismic isolation systems. Based on the concept of reducing seismic demand rather than …

Selection of earthquake ground motions is considered with the goal of accurately estimating
the response of a structure at a specified ground motion intensity, as measured by spectral …

The increasing availability of strong-motion accelerograms, and the relative ease with which
they can be obtained compared to synthetic or artificial records, makes the use of real …

Dynamic nonlinear analysis of structures requires the seismic input to be defined in the form
of acceleration time-series, and these will generally be required to be compatible with the …

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 …

A method for generating a suite of synthetic ground motion time‐histories for specified
earthquake and site characteristics defining a design scenario is presented. The method …

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