Reliability on ProSHAKE 2.0 in the Assessment of One Dimensional Ground Response Analysis through Verification Example

Abstract

It is understood from the recent destructive earthquakes, topography, nature of the bedrock and geometry of the soil deposits are the prime factors that made modifications to the underlying earthquake motion. The influence of such confined soil states on the strong earthquake motion plays a significant task in accessing the uniqueness of ground action. In this paper, the response of the soil layers to the earthquake action of the bedrock directly under it is determined. The analysis is done through frequency domain approach. Pro-shake software 2.0 is used to arrive the reliability of the ground response study. A wide variety of output parameters such as time histories of acceleration, velocity, displacement, shear stress, shear strain, response spectra and maximum amplitude of various parameters with depth are plotted and the other scalar parameters such as peak acceleration, peak velocity, peak displacement, RMS acceleration, arias intensity, predominant period and bracketed duration was computed.
