โฆ Synopsis
The seismic behaviour of large-size structures subjected to multiple-support excitation is studied by means of a random vibration approach. Ground motion is modelled as a non-stationary stochastic process having an evolutionary spectral density. To describe the spatial variability of the input motion a model is adopted which accounts for finite propagation velocity and for loss of correlation as a function of distance and frequency.
Structural analysis is entirely performed in the frequency domain and full advantage is taken of FFT properties and capabilities. An example is given regarding the behaviour of a 800 m long viaduct. Results are shown in terms of response evolutionary spectral density, variance and reliability with respect to a fixed threshold.

This paper presents an accurate algorithm for structural non-stationary random seismic responses. The ground acceleration is assumed to be an evolutionary random process, of which the modulation function is non-uniformly modulated, i.e. it depends on both time and frequency. The method is used to co
An asynchronous parallel algorithm is developed in this paper. It is based on the newly developed sequential pseudo-excitation method for structural non-stationary random responses, used with the high precision direct (HPD-S) integration method. Examples run on a Transtech Paramid MIMD parallel comp
The highest response of multi-supported structures subjected to partially specified multi-component earthquake support motions is considered. The seismic inputs are modelled as incompletely specified vector Gaussian random processes with known autospectral density functions but unknown cross spectra
