Characteristics of earthquake ground motions requiring extended dynamic analysis
The absolute maximum response (AMR) of structures might occur posterior to the end of earthquake excitations, hence, extending the dynamic analysis to the post-shaking phase is required. This phenomenon was found to be more common for long-period and low-damping structures, which are prevailing in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity like Australia. In this article, the mechanism of the occurrence of AMR in the post-shaking phase is first explained using single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems subjected to a simple sine wave. Further investigation on real earthquake ground motions reveals that whether an extended analysis is required depends greatly on the characteristics of the post-significant duration phase. Finally, suitable metrics for describing ground motions that require extended analysis (EAGMs) are identified based on the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Regression analyses are then conducted to predict the probability of EAGMs.
