Influence of Time Step of Ground Motions on Site Effect and Structural Response Analyses for Long-Duration Earthquakes
Long-duration ground motions may be down-sampled to speed up the computational process. However, using ground motions with large time step (Δt) would inevitably bring in numerical errors. The influence of Δt on the site effect and structural response analyses was quantitatively examined in this study. The results show that the nonlinear site response method is more sensitive to a change of Δt than the equivalent-linear method. For the structural analysis, the impact of Δt is highly dependent on the magnitude of damage parameters. Thus, using input motions with Δt as 0.005 s is recommended for structures subjected to strong shakings.
