Book Description
This book contains selected papers presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Strong Ground Motion Seismology", held in Ankara, Turkey between June 10 and 21, 1985. The strong ground motion resulting from a major earthquake determines the level of the seismic hazard to enable earthquake engineers to assess the structural performance and the consecutive risks to the property and life, as well as providing detailed information to seismologists about its source mechanism. From the earthquake engineering point the main problem is the specification of a design level ground motion for a given source-site-structure-economic life and risk combination through deterministic and probabilistic approaches. In seismology the strong motion data provide the high frequency information to determine the rupture process and the complexity of the source mechanism. The effects of the propagation path on the strong ground motion is a research area receiving sub stantial attenuation both from earthquake engineers and seismologists. The Institute provided a venue for the treatment of the subject matter by a series of lectures on earthquake source models and near field theories; effects of propagation paths and site conditions, numerical and empirical methods for prediction; data acquisition and analysis; hazard assessment and engineering application.

Book Description
Seismic evaluation of existing facilities and design of earthquake-resistant structures requires estimation of strong ground motion parameters. Ground motion prediction equations are derived for estimating strong ground motion parameters. Traditionally, ground motion prediction equations are developed using statistical regression analyses. This book presents a very promising application of the powerful and versatile neural network approach to the derivation of ground motion prediction equations using Japanese earthquake records and site characteristics. Multi-layer perceptron neural network models with back-propagation learning scheme have been developed to predict strong ground motion parameters that are of primary significance in earthquake engineering using the actual seismic data without any simplification and assumptions. Statistics of the results presented indicate that artificial neural network is capable of learning and representing the local variations quite accurately. This book is intended to help structural engineers in selection of appropriate characterization of ground motion for engineering applications that are used in seismic analysis and design.

Book Description
This book addresses current activities in strong-motion networks around the globe, covering issues related to designing, maintaining and disseminating information from these arrays. The book is divided into three principal sections. The first section includes recent developments in regional and global ground-motion predictive models. It presents discussions on the similarities and differences of ground motion estimations from these models and their application to design spectra as well as other novel procedures for predicting engineering parameters in seismic regions with sparse data. The second section introduces topics about the particular methodologies being implemented in the recently established global and regional strong-motion databanks in Europe to maintain and disseminate the archived accelerometric data. The final section describes major strong-motion arrays around the world and their historical developments. The last three chapters of this section introduce projects carried out within the context of arrays deployed for seismic risk studies in metropolitan areas. Audience: This timely book will be of particular interest for researchers who use accelerometric data extensively to conduct studies in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.
