Probabilistic Empirical Green's Function Method in Ground Motion Simulation
- 1 K.N. Toosi University of Technology, Iran
Abstract
Problem statement: The Empirical Green's Function method is used to synthesize strong ground motion time histories.In previous simulation processes parameters were taken deterministically. Approach: In this study, the probabilistic consideration for some of these parameters was inserted to the process. For implementing this method a computer program was developed in GIS. GIS abilities for storing and processing geographic data is used to make Strong Ground motion simulation more convenient. Results: The 2003 Bam Earthquake strong ground motions were used for the simulation. Also for considering the probabilistic parameters the Logic Tree method is used. Conclusions/Recommendations: Probability distribution of peak ground acceleration and spectral acceleration are presented as the results of probabilistic simulation.
