Abstract:
Both acceleration and pseudo-acceleration response spectra play important roles in structural seismic design. However, only one of them is generally provided in most seismic codes. Therefore, many studies have attempted to develop conversion models between the acceleration response spectrum (SA) and the pseudo-acceleration response spectrum (PSA). Our previous studies found that the relationship between SA and PSA is affected by magnitude, distance, and site class. Subsequently, we developed an SA/PSA model incorporating these effects. However, this model is suitable for cases with small and moderate magnitudes and its accuracy is not good enough for cases with large magnitudes. This paper aims to develop an efficient SA/PSA model by considering influences of magnitude, distance, and site class, which can be applied to cases not only with small or moderate magnitudes but also with large ones. For this purpose, regression analyses were conducted using 16,660 horizontal seismic records with a wider range of magnitude. The magnitude of these seismic records varies from 4 to 9 and the distances vary from 10 to 200 km. These ground motions were recorded at 338 stations covering four site classes. By comparing them with existing models, it was found that the proposed model shows better accuracy for cases with any magnitudes, distances, and site classes considered in this study.
