GMSM Mission • To provide guidance and tools to the engineering community on appropriate GMSM methods for nonlinear dynamic analyses. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Ground Motion Selection and Modification • Selection based only on seismological principles leads to large variability of results. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Large Variability in Results • Building Code Mini-Study led by Jack Baker • ASCE 7-05 • 6.5 < M < 7.6 • 0 < R < 30 km • Strike slip events only • Target spectrum exceeded as per code requirements Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Building Code Method Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Building Code Method Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Building Code Method • Median estimates are approximately one sigma above the expected median response. • Bias in results • Implied increase in return period of ground motion • From this small sample there is a factor of 1.5 difference in median estimates. • Large variability of results Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Ground Motion Selection and Modification • Selection based only on seismological principles leads to large variability of results. • There are two solutions to this problem: • Perform a high end analysis that uses more records • Be smarter about picking records Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Solution 1. High End Analysis • Large number of ground motions • Regression on the results of the nonlinear dynamic analysis • Coupling the regression with ground motion prediction equations gives a best estimate of structural response Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Example building results from over 300 ground motions Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Example building regression • Identify key record properties that are important to building response - this will be building specific. • Perform a regression to determine distribution of EDP as a function of the key properties. • For example: Use spectral values at different periods to model the EDP. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Example building best estimate of response • Scenario Event - magnitude & distance • Design Event - magnitude, distance & ground motion • Risk Based - full hazard curve for an engineering demand parameter Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Example - Scenario Event Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Example - Design Event Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Example - Risk Based Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Example - Risk Based Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
High End Analysis • More time consuming • Highly accurate estimate of both median and variability of structural response Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Solution 2. Smarter Selection • A large number (100s) of records is impractical in many cases • We want a method of ground motion selection and modification that has a higher degree of accuracy using only a small number of records • Median • Variability - not discussed today • In order to do this we have to know something about the building so we know what’s important for response Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Solution 2. Smarter Selection • Objection: The ground doesn’t know the building is there. The motions should be the same no matter what the building is. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Solution 2. Smarter Selection • There is a distribution of record properties (Dur, PGV, RMS) for a given design event. • These record properties affect the nonlinear response of structures. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
Solution 2. Smarter Selection • IF we could sample the entire distribution of all record properties with the ground motions then the set wouldn’t need to depend on the building. • BUT when using a small number of ground motions it is impossible to capture so many record properties at once. • THEREFORE we have to know which ones are important and select based on those important properties. • In order to do this we have to know something about the structure. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
COSMOS 2006 Results • There are many simplified methods for selecting a small set of records. • Depending on the method used there can be a factor of 3 difference in your results. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
GMSM Mission • To provide guidance and tools to the engineering community on appropriate GMSM methods for nonlinear dynamic analyses. • To do this we need to evaluate the simplified methods and determine which ones produce the desired response. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
GMSM Evaluation Procedure • Identify an application for which the ground motions will be employed. • 4 structural models, 4 - 20 stories • Curt Haselton will discuss • Identify the candidate GMSM methods. • 46 methods are now being looked at • Draft summaries of the methods are available on the GMSM website Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
GMSM Evaluation Procedure • Identify the goal of the application. • The building code made me do it • Learn something about the building • PBEE - defined distribution of EDP • We start with median EDP | M, R, Sa - this is the building block for other more complicated analyses Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
GMSM Evaluation Procedure • Calculate a best estimate of response using a high end analysis to serve as the point of comparison (POC) • Compare the results from each GMSM method with the POC Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
GMSM Results 2007 • Overview of Results - Curt Haselton • Bias in results can be reduced by taking into account spectral shape. • In order to reduce the variability between suites of motions the selection must be optimized based on record properties that are important for nonlinear response. • This means we have to know something about the structure. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
GMSM Results 2007 • Evaluation of ATC-58 35% - Farzin Zareian • Time-based selection method overestimates median response for above average ground motion because it ignores spectral shape. • Time-based selection has variability in median estimates of response because the motions are selected from an M, R bin. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
GMSM Results 2007 • Evaluation of ATC-58 35% - Farzin Zareian • Scenario-based selection method overestimates the variability of response because it double counts the ground motion variability at periods other than T1. Jennie Watson-Lamprey COSMOS Annual Meeting Technical Session November 9, 2007
