How do you find peak ground acceleration?

How do you find peak ground acceleration?

The peak horizontal ground acceleration (PHA or PHGA) can be reached by selecting the higher individual recording, taking the mean of the two values, or calculating a vector sum of the two components. A three-component value can also be reached, by taking the vertical component into consideration also.

What is reference peak ground acceleration?

The reference peak ground acceleration, chosen by the National Authorities for each seismic zone, corresponds to the reference return period TNCR of the seismic action for the no-collapse requirement (or equivalently the reference probability of exceedance in 50 years, PNCR) chosen by the National Authorities.

How is PGA calculated?

PGA is calculated using attenuation function that describes the correlation between the local ground movement intensity the earthquake magnitude and the distance from the earthquake’s epicentre.

What is peak spectral acceleration?

PGA (peak acceleration) is what is experienced by a particle on the ground. SA (spectral acceleration) is approximately what is experienced by a building, as modeled by a particle on a massless vertical rod having the same natural period of vibration as the building.

How do you determine S1 and SS?

The tool clearly notes the values quoted from GSHAP are rough approximations based on the probabilistic 10%-in-50-year peak ground accelerations (PGA’s). The GSHAP values are multiplied by 2 to approximate 2%-in-50-year PGA values, and then multiplied by 2.5 and 1.0, respectively, to estimate SS and S1.

What is the difference between peak ground acceleration and spectral acceleration?

What is spectral acceleration (SA)? PGA (peak acceleration) is what is experienced by a particle on the ground, and SA is approximately what is experienced by a building, as modeled by a particle mass on a massless vertical rod having the same natural period of vibration as the building.

Was there an earthquake in 1893?

It is to serve this purpose that IS 1893 : 1962 ‘Recommendations for earthquake resistant design of structures’ was published and revised first time in 1966. In the clauses for design of multi-storeyed buildings, the coefficient of flexibility was given in the form of a curve with respect to period of buildings.

What is the metric of peak ground acceleration PGA used to describe?

PGA (peak acceleration) is what is experienced by a particle on the ground, and SA is approximately what is experienced by a building, as modeled by a particle mass on a massless vertical rod having the same natural period of vibration as the building.

What is SA G value?

Spectral acceleration (SA) is a unit measured in g (the acceleration due to Earth’s gravity, equivalent to g-force) that describes the maximum acceleration in an earthquake on an object – specifically a damped, harmonic oscillator moving in one physical dimension.

What is SS seismic?

Ss: Spectral acceleration parameter at short periods corresponding to the mapped maximum considered earthquake. S1: Spectral acceleration parameter at a period of 1 sec corresponding to the mapped maximum considered earthquake.

What is SA in SA G?
