Pseudo-Velocity Response Spectrum to Velocity Response Spectrum Conversion Model
Velocity response spectrum (SV) plays a critical role in the seismic design of structures equipped with velocity-dependent dampers. Often, the SV is approximated using the pseudo-velocity response spectrum (PSV), because of the lack of information on the SV in seismic codes. As indicated in the existing literature, the error of this approximation is significant for short and long periods, and therefore, researchers have started to develop PSV to SV conversion models for obtaining SV more accurately. Recent studies discovered that the relationship between the PSV and SV is affected not only by structural parameters, but also by magnitude, distance, and site class. However, models for converting PSV to SV including magnitude, distance, and site class as input parameters have not been developed. To this end, a PSV to SV conversion model including magnitude, distance, and site class is proposed in this study based on a large number of real ground motion records (16,660 horizontal acceleration time histories) selected from the Japan Strong Motion Network. Furthermore, since the magnitude and distance are not specified in the seismic design, a response-spectrum-shape factor, s, is discussed to reflect the influences of magnitude and distance. Accordingly, an SV/PSV model incorporating s is established. The proposed models show better accuracy than the existing models for cases with different magnitudes, distances, and site classes.
