Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the purpose of performance evaluation of structures, a phenomenological model is developed for the generation of earthquake ground motions. The simulation procedure is based on the most recent ground motion models and simulation methods. A strong emphasis is placed on uncertaintly modeling and efficiency in application to performance evaluation and reliability analysis. Site locations of special interest include Memphis, TN, Carbondale, IL, St. Louis, MO, and Santa Barbara, CA as they represent U.S. cities in different areas of seismicity.
