About this document

Abrahamson 2000 by yannaungko is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the importance of including rupture directivity effects in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, particularly for long-period structures near active faults. It highlights how incorporating these effects can lead to significant increases in estimated ground motion hazards, exemplified by a 30% increase for the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge at a 1500-year return period. The paper also outlines modifications to existing models to better account for directivity in hazard calculations
