Generation of a pair of surface time histories for jakarta used for earthquake resistance design of infrastructures

It is not the earthquake but the collapse of the building and infrastructure that will cause the damage and the loss of human lives. to mitigate these hazards,the building and infrastructure need to be designed such that will not collapse due to earthquake. this paper presents the procedure for generating time histories at ground surface for jakarta area. required data to generate these modified time histories were extracted from the team for revision of seismic hazard maps of indonesia 2010. the results are used as input motions in dynamic time history analysis for predicting earthquake design loads for infrastructures,such as bridges such that those structures can be designed to bear the impact of an earthquake and prevent collapse. © 2015 penerbit utm press. all rights reserved.
