A Study on Elastic Input Energy Spectra Based on the Compound Intensity Indicator

Article Preview

Abstract:

Determination of a SDOFS elastic input energy is the primary problem to solve for energy-based design approach. The effect of ground motion and damping ratio were analyzed on the input energy spectra. is selected as the compound ground motion intensity indicator to represent the damage potential of strong ground motion. Through inputting of 188 seismic records according to the site classification of Chinese seismic code, three-segment elastic energy spectra are proposed based on normalization methods. The calculation formula of the peak and the value of long-period section of the input energy spectra are presented for four categories of site conditions by statistical analysis. Moreover, calculation procedure of the total energy input is given in the paper.
