SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW APPROACHES: Ø Utilize data from dense urban networks to supplement GMPEs Ø Use a probabilistic approach to calculate response spectra Ø Use energy and energy flux for ground motion description and structural response

CAN WE UTILIZE DATA FROM DENSE URBAN NETWORKS TO LOCALIZE GMPEs? Example: Istanbul Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø 6.09.17 100+ real-time strong-motion stations (700 more are currently being installed) Over 7,000 records from M>3.00 earthquakes Well known fault path Topography seems to be important in shaking distribution Can a calibrated 3D seismic model be an alternative to GMPEs? 41

SOME CONCLUSIONS: - - - - Performance- based design requires the control of inelas/c deforma/ons, which are very sensi/ve to the ini/al build- up of ground accelera/ons and the yield point of the structure. Surface waves from distant large earthquakes can be cri/cal for long- period structures because of rota/onal excita/ons and P- Δ effects. Dura/on of vibra/on of a structure is related to its natural frequency and damping, and does not always correlate with the dura/on of earthquake. Collapse of son- first- story structures is also controlled by P- Δ effects and ver/cal ground accelera/ons. - Damping in tall buildings decrease with increasing height, and can be as low as 1%. - - Probabilis/c response spectra provide much more informa/on than standard response spectra. Energy- based representa/on of ground shaking and structural response can be a powerful alterna/ve to current seismic design methods.
