Input seismic energy

Accelerogram is a significant input in seismic analysis of structures, particularly for performance-based seismic designs and for advanced technologies using nonlinear energy dissipation devices. The paper aims to detail the procedure of selecting and scaling recorded seismic accelerations according to requirements specified by TCVN-9386:2012.

This article introduces a new resilience factor which is a function of energy dissipation factors of input seismic energy. Mathematical equations are presented for this factor and its limits are determined for different periods. The applicability of the proposed factor is also investigated for two typical structural examples.
