Dynamical Study of a Structure: The Case of Al Hoceima’s Earthquake / Morocco

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work consist to make a dynamic study of an actual structure sized before applying Moroccan seismic regulations RPS2000, the study will be made using the SAP2000 software and exploiting accelerograms of Al Hoceima’s earthquake occurred on 24th February 2004, this earthquake was recorded at several Spanish stations this analysis will first identify some dynamic characteristics of the studied frame like eigenmodes of the frame and the maximum displacement of the terrace. The use of several accelerograms will highlight the influence of distance on the intensity of the earthquake and will give some information about sol-structure interaction
