Empirical Mode Decomposition Application for Structural Seismic Responses

Abstract:

Large mass method is used to calculate structural seismic responses of long-span bridges. Due to the inherent characteristics of large mass method, the larger scale of long span bridge, different geological conditions, seismic input time delay of different foot stall, the displacement curve of seismic responses will be drifted and distorted from the normal. In this paper, Empirical Mode Decomposition（EMD) based on the large mass method is proposed to remove pseudo component and drift displacement. Then displacement response curve is reconstructed using the remaining components, the drift and distortion of structural seismic responses is successfully removed by this method.
