A METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING THE RESPONSE OF STRUCTURES TO EARTHQUAKES ON SPECIFIC FAULTS.

We are developing a methodology chain to estimate the response of structures to large earthquakes from specific faults. The methodology consists of three distinct steps: generation of synthetic bedrock motion at the site of the structure due to a postulated large earthquake; nonlinear effective stress analysis of the soil response at the site to transform bedrock motion to surface motion; and linear/nonlinear finite element analysis of the structure based on the predicted surface motions. Progress in all steps is reported here.
