Synthesized Strong Ground Motions for the Seismic Condition Assessment of theEastern Portion of the San Francisco Bay Bridge

摘要

The assessment of the seismic condition of the eastern portion of the SanFrancisco Bay Bridge began with the definition of realistic seismic strong ground motions which might be expected within the lifespan of the structure. The task of this research program was the construction of synthetic ground motion records which would define adequately the largest seismic ground motions that the bridge could experience in its lifetime.
