Feasibility Study of Structural Response Prediction by Scenario-based Technique

Feasibility Study of Structural Response Prediction by Scenario-based Technique

Earthquake occurs frequently in Taiwan, thus may caused serious damages to structures. To avoid the collapse of building during an earthquake similar to the 921 Chi-Chi earthquake, a real-time earthquake early warning system(EEWS), which can predict the structural response efficiently and accurately during an earthquake, has been developed in this study. The scenario-based technique were developed herein based on the strong-motion seismograph network records from the Central Weather Bureau(CWB) while the verification of the regression modules was also conducted to check the feasibility of the scenario-based technique by comparing the predicted amplitude coefficients with the amplitude coefficients from real structural responses.
