I tried to normalized ground motion records by pgv (peak ground velocity) as mentioned in FEMA P695. Does anyone know which software does this normalization?
Dear Vahid
As much as I know there is no software that has a particular module or something to perform this kind of procedures. Normalizing time histories is somehow judgmental and needs to be considered step by step. Plus each code or standard has it own specifications so software can't cover them all.
Despite all of these, It may be helpful for you to take a look at SeismoSoft collection, some of them are very useful in this matter like SeismoStruct or SeismoSignal.
Dear Behnam
I appreciate you for shared me your extensive research
but I already checked all of seismosoft collection such your mentioned plus seismospact, seismomatch,seismoartif but none of them could do this method
beside I think there is at least one program can do this method because many research were referenced this method for best technique to normalization of records
thanks
best regards
My pleasure if It was any help to you. If you found that software I would really appreciate if you introduce it. That would be useful.
Good luck
I GOT solution for this problem
actually we need just multiply scale factor of velocity in acceleration graph
and seismo signal can do this method
(note that acceleration is integral of velocity and when we multiply any number in velocity graph automatically acceleration will multiplied in that number)
abaqus can't model pinching effect cause the only material which could model dynamic effect is CDP for concrete and its codding is not good for pinching effect read this artical: Peter Grassl , Milan Jirasek, "Damage-plastic model for concrete failure," International Journal of Solids and Structures, vol. 43, p. 7166–7196, 2006.
but ansys has good one
