Basic Approach A record’s displacement surface scales uniformly with scale factor as long as the yield force of the oscillator is scaled as

well. Thus, is selected so that after scaling, the yield force is consistent with the pushover curve. ( i.e. = Dtarget / uyield ) Select records for nonlinear analysis by the quality of their fit to the target region

Can also impose secondary criteria such as how close the scaled record matches 2nd mode elastic displacements.

Determining Target Displacement Surface Case 1: What is the distribution of peak displacement response

given M, r, and Fy?

Determining Target Displacement Surface

Calculate the response of the oscillator for a grid of and T for each of over 1800 records of the NGA dataset.

Define the response in terms of “Normalized Inelastic Displacement Demand” (NIDD) where

NIDD(, T) j = ui, jSd, j

and Sd , j

is the median spectral displacement as estimated

using A&S97 and M , rjMotivation for normalization: elimination of (M, r) dependence


A very convenient form is …

NIDD(, T) = uiSd =

uiSd

* SdSd

= C' Ca

The ‘ in C reflects that constant strength is imposed with the reference strength defined for Ca =1.


Statistics on NIDD response:

Since NIDD is a function of Ca, and since Ca is influenced by earthquake event terms, a 2-step regression procedure is required determine the median.

The median Target Displacement Surface is then calculated as..

DTarget (, T) = NIDDMedian (, T) * Sd

(T) D84Target (, T) = NIDDMedian (, T) * Sd

(T) *e NIDD


An approximate functional form looks something like…:

N ID D (T , ) = 1 .374 - 0 .787 T + 0.326 T2

- 0 .0526 T3 +0 .00365 T

- 0 .000142 T5 + 0 .0165

Ln(T , ) = 0 .808 - 0 .425 T + 0 .297 T2

Case 2: What is the distribution of peak displacement response given M, r, Fy, and (or a specified Sa)?


(or Sa) can easily be related to Ca. Both terms in NIDD have Ca dependence.
