Abstract:
This paper presents a trigonometric series method to synthesize simulated earthquake waves. In this method, theoretical and numerical solutions are combined to calculate the contribution of each frequency component to response spectrum used for amplitude spectrum correction to reduce numerical errors in solving simple harmonic motions with periods close to the numerical time step. Least square method is used to regulate earthquake waves generated in the iterative process, and the corrected standard earthquake waves are normalized. The method can ensure the accuracy of amplitude spectrum adjustment and improve numerical stability and convergence in the iteration of simulated earthquake wave computation. Application of the method to the concrete faced rockfill dam of Fujian Xianyou pumped storage power station shows that the synthesized earthquake waves meets the accuracy requirement of response spectrum in hydraulic structure design and the design requirement of peak acceleration, while eliminating the shifts in time developments of velocity and displacement of the simulated earthquake waves. © Copyright.
