Indonesia has developed new seismic building code based on risk-targeted ground-motions adopting 1 % probability of building collapse in 50 years. The new seismic design criterion, which is presented in the code, have combined both seismic hazard and building fragility. For performance-based analysis of high-rise buildings, a complex non-linear time-history analysis is needed. This paper presents results of study on development of the time-history with emphasing on procedure of developing pairs of time-history at ground surface for spesific site in Jakarta with reference to 2012 International Building Codes and ASCE-SEI-7-10. The study involves generation of time-history from reference base-rock through site-response analysis to ground surface. Development of time-history at ground surface with a procedure involving Square Root of the Sum of the Square method (SRSS) in order to reasonably scaled time-histories through spectral matching technique is presented herein. The matched time-histories are developed from various strong-motion records representing different earthquake sources dominant to control the site evaluated from de-aggregation within seismic hazard analysis. This work also adopts baseline corrections in which velocity and displacement components of matched time-histories can be drifted to zero at the end of recorded seismic time.

Propagation of the earthquake motion towards the ground surface alters both the acceleration and frequency content of the motion. Acceleration time record and Fourier amplitude spectrum of the motion reveal changes in the acceleration and frequency content. However, Fourier amplitude spectrum fails to give frequency-time variation. Wavelet transform overcomes this difficulty. In the present study, site response analysis of a liquefiable soil domain has been investigated employing wavelet transform. Three earthquake motions with distinct predominant frequencies are considered. It is revealed that the moment soil undergoes initial liquefaction, it causes a spike in the acceleration time history. Frequency of the spikes is found to be greater than the predominant frequency of the acceleration-time history recorded at the ground surface from the analysis. Interestingly, the spikes belong to the sharp tips of the shear stress-shear strain curve. Immediately after the spike, acceleration deamplification is observed. Post-liquefaction deamplification (filtering) of the frequency components is also observed.

The purpose of earthquake resistance design of building is to produce a structures that can withstand a certain level of a ground shaking without excessive damage. Careful consideration in the design of structures and facilities to the seismic are implemented by design of ground-motions. Jakarta as the capital city of Indonesia has potential of seismic hazard. Thus, design of high rise buildings in Jakarta requires reliable seismic design criteria for the safety and cost-effectiveness of the construction. Site-specific response analysis with reference to SNI-1726-2012 and generation of pairs of ground-motions with reference to FEMA-1050- 2015 of a proposed high-rise building site in Jakarta has been conducted. Through PSHA, two hazard levels of earthquake have been developed, that is representing 50% probability of exceedence (PE) in 30 years (43 years earthquake return period) and 2% PE in 50 years (2,475 years earthquake return period) ground-motions at reference base-rock (Sb). In addition, risk-targeted ground-motions (RTGM) defined as 1% probability of the building collapse in 50 years has been also developed adopting P-value = 0.65. Seven pairs of ground- motions time-history have been generated with spectral periods scaling from 0.2-10.0 sec considering seismic sources from Megathrsut, Beniof and Shallow Crustals have been applied to consider the short and long period motions have potential to hit the proposed building with structure period of 7.0 second.

The city of Banda Aceh is potentially exposed to a significant seismic hazard of seismic site amplification. Estimation of seismic site amplification of the city is urgently required for any mitigation efforts as the city is founded on a thick, soft layer. This study aims to estimate seismic site amplification of Banda Aceh's soil. Analytical models have demonstrated that they can simulate reasonably well the seismic ground motions amplification. The most widely used model is the equivalent linear approach. The approach computes the ground response of horizontally layered soil deposits subjected to transient and vertically propagating shear waves through a one-dimensional soil column. As aforementioned, this study focuses on Banda Aceh-Indonesia which is founded on thick alluvium. Three actual historical time histories and three developed sub-surface models were used to estimate the seismic site amplification of Banda Aceh's soft soil. The used time histories are of 2012 M8.1 Simeulue earthquake, 2013 M6.0 Mane-Geumpang earthquake and 2013 M6.2 Bener Meriah earthquake. Three sub-surface models of three separate sites across the city of Banda Aceh were developed. The site response analysis results reveal the ground motions amplification of Banda Aceh's soils of up to 4.3. Thus, applying the seismic site amplification for structural design at Banda Aceh can be further works.

Seismic microzonation study of Semarang is still on-going following the recommendations from the Team for Revision of Seismic Hazard Maps of Indonesia 2010 (TRSHMI-2010). The study was performed by carrying one-dimensional site response analysis at 190 locations and implementing Lasem fault as a closest seimic source that significantly influence the hazard of the city. The analysis was performed using two soil deposit models, 30 m and real soil deposit models, to get ground surface peak acceleration (PGA) and amplification factor of PGA. The results obtained using the first model are then compared with the results obtained using the second model. To perform the analysis bedrock elevation and acceleration time histories data are needed. The bedrock elevation was estimated based on 218 single station seismometer measurements. Five different time histories representing different earthquakes with magnitude 6.5 MW and maximum distance 20 km are collected from worldwide historical earthquake records. The results of this study includes the distribution of surface PGA and amplification factor of PGA. The PGA and amplification factor calculated using 30 meter soil deposit model are greater than the same values calculated using real soil deposit model.

AbstractThe Italian code requires spectrum compatibility with mean spectrum for a suite of accelerograms selected for time-history analysis. Although these requirements define minimum acceptability criteria, it is likely that code-based non-linear dynamic analysis is going to be done based on limited number of records. Performance-based safety-checking provides formal basis for addressing the record-to-record variability and the epistemic uncertainties due to limited number of records and in the estimation of the seismic hazard curve. “Cloud Analysis” is a non-linear time-history analysis procedure that employs the structural response to un-scaled ground motion records and can be directly implemented in performance-based safety-checking. This paper interprets the code-based provisions in a performance-based key and applies further restrictions to spectrum-compatible record selection aiming to implement Cloud Analysis. It is shown that, by multiplying a closed-form coefficient, code-based safety ratio could be transformed into simplified performance-based safety ratio. It is shown that, as a proof of concept, if the partial safety factors in the code are set to unity, this coefficient is going to be on average slightly larger than unity. The paper provides the basis for propagating the epistemic uncertainties due to limited sample size and in the seismic hazard curve to the performance-based safety ratio both in a rigorous and simplified manner. If epistemic uncertainties are considered, the average code-based safety checking could end up being unconservative with respect to performance-based procedures when the number of records is small. However, it is shown that performance-based safety checking is possible with no extra structural analyses.

In this study a kind of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) as energy dissipation dampers is attempted for seismic performance of large span double-layer reticulated shell and the effectiveness of BRBs to protect structures against strong earthquakes is numerically studied. The hysteretic curve of such members is obtained through the simulation of the cyclic-loading test, and the equations of motion of the system under earthquake excitations are established. BRBs are then placed at certain locations on the example reticulated shell to replace some normal members, and the damping effect of the two installation schemes of BRBs is investigated by non-linear time-history analyses under various ground motions representing major earthquake events. Compared with the seismic behavior of the original structure without BRBs, satisfactory seismic performance is seen in the upgraded models, which clarifies the BRBs can reduce the vibration response of spatial reticulated structure effectively and the new system has wide space to develop double layer reticulated shell.

The integration of site effects into Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) is still an open issue within the seismic hazard community. Several approaches have been proposed varying from deterministic to fully probabilistic, through hybrid (probabilistic-deterministic) approaches. The present study compares the hazard curves that have been obtained for a thick, soft non-linear site with two different fully probabilistic, site-specific seismic hazard methods: (1) The analytical approximation of the full convolution method (AM) proposed by Bazzurro and Cornell 2004a,b and (2) what we call the Full Probabilistic Stochastic Method (SM). The AM computes the site-specific hazard curve on soil, HC(Sas(f)), by convolving for each oscillator frequency the bedrock hazard curve, HC(Sar(f)), with a simplified representation of the probability distribution of the amplification function, AF(f), at the considered site The SM hazard curve is built from stochastic time histories on soil or rock corresponding to a representative, long enough synthetic catalog of seismic events. This comparison is performed for the example case of the Euroseistest site near Thessaloniki (Greece). For this purpose, we generate a long synthetic earthquake catalog, we calculate synthetic time histories on rock with the stochastic point source approach, and then scale them using an adhoc frequency-dependent correction factor to fit the specific rock target hazard. We then propagate the rock stochastic time histories, from depth to surface using two different one-dimensional (1D) numerical site response analyses, while using an equivalent-linear (EL) and a non-linear (NL) code to account for code-to-code variability. Lastly, we compute the probability distribution of the non-linear site amplification function, AF(f), for both site response analyses, and derive the site-specific hazard curve with both AM and SM methods, to account for method-to-method variability. The code-to-code variability (EL and NL) is found to be significant, providing a much larger contribution to the uncertainty in hazard estimates, than the method-to-method variability: AM and SM results are found comparable whenever simultaneously applicable. However, the AM method is also shown to exhibit severe limitations in the case of strong non-linearity, leading to ground motion “saturation”, so that finally the SM method is to be preferred, despite its much higher computational price. Finally, we encourage the use of ground-motion simulations to integrate site effects into PSHA, since models with different levels of complexity can be included (e.g., point source, extended source, 1D, two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) site response analysis, kappa effect, hard rock …), and the corresponding variability of the site response can be quantified.

Abstract Limited data on strong earthquakes and their effect on structures pose challenges of making reliable risk assessments of tall buildings. For instance, although the collapse safety of tall buildings is likely controlled by large‐magnitude earthquakes with long durations and high low‐frequency content, there are few available recorded ground motions to evaluate these issues. The influence of geologic basins on amplifying ground‐motion effects raises additional questions. Absent recorded motions from past large magnitude earthquakes, physics‐based ground‐motion simulations provide a viable alternative. This article examines collapse risk and drift demands of a 20‐story archetype tall building using ground motions at four sites in the Los Angeles (LA) basin. Seismic demands of the building are calculated form nonlinear structural analyses using large datasets (∼500,000 ground motions per site) of unscaled, site‐specific simulated seismograms. Seismic hazard and building performance from direct analysis of Southern California Earthquake Center CyberShake motions are contrasted with values obtained based on conventional approaches that rely on recorded motions coupled with probabilistic seismic hazard assessments. At the LA downtown site, the two approaches yield similar estimates of mean annual frequency of collapse (λc), whereas nonlinear drift demands estimated with direct analysis are slightly larger primarily because of differences in hazard curves. Conversely, at the deep basin site, the CyberShake‐based analysis yields around seven times larger λc than the conventional approach, and both hazard and spectral shapes of the motions drive the differences. Deaggregation of collapse risk is used to identify the relative contributions of causal earthquakes, linking building responses with specific seismograms and contrasting collapse risk with hazard. A strong discriminative power of average spectral acceleration and significant duration for predicting collapse is observed.

Abstract. In performance-based seismic design, ground-motion time histories are needed for analyzing dynamic responses of nonlinear structural systems. However, the number of strong-motion data at design level is often limited. In order to analyze seismic performance of structures, ground-motion time histories need to be either selected from recorded strong-motion database, or numerically simulated using stochastic approaches. In this paper, a detailed procedure to select proper acceleration time histories from the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) database for several cities in Taiwan is presented. Target response spectra are initially determined based on a local ground motion prediction equation under representative deterministic seismic hazard analyses. Then several suites of ground motions are selected for these cities using the Design Ground Motion Library (DGML), a recently proposed interactive ground-motion selection tool. The selected time histories are representatives of the regional seismic hazard, and should be beneficial to earthquake studies when comprehensive seismic hazard assessments and site investigations are yet available. Note that this method is also applicable to site-specific motion selections with the target spectra near the ground surface considering the site effect.
