Engineering Characterization of Ground Motion. Task 1. Effects of Characteristics of Free-Field Motion on Structural Response
This report presents the results of the first task of a two-task study on the engineering characterization of earthquake ground motion for nuclear power plant design. The overall objective of this study is to develop recommendations for methods for selecting design response spectra or acceleration time histories to be used to characterize motion at the foundation level of nuclear power plants. Task I of the study, presented herein, develops a basis for selecting design response spectra, taking into account the characteristics of free-field ground motion found to be significant in causing structural damage. Task II of the study, to be completed later in 1984, will provide recommendations for methods for selecting response spectra and time histories incorporating wave passage and soil-structure interaction effects and Task I results.
