SUMMARY
A method for generating synthetic strong motion accelerograms for use in engineering design is presented. This
method utilizes the model proposed by Trifunac in 197127 in conjunction with the recent empirical scaling functions
for characterization of amplitudes and duration of strong shaking in terms of (i) earthquake magnitude, M, and
epicentral distance, R, or (ii) Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) at the recording station. The method also enables
one to consider the desired levels of confidence that the synthetic motion will not be exceeded, direction of ground
motion (horizontal or vertical) and the dispersive properties of geologic environment beneath and surrounding
the station. The principal features of this approach are that the resulting accelerograms have non-stationary
frequency and amplitude characteristics which are in full agreement with known principles of wave propagation
through a stratified medium, and that the Fourier amplitudes and the frequency-dependent duration are scaled
in accordance with known trends as in recorded accelerograms.

INTRODUCTION
After 45 years of strong motion recording programs in the western United States, less than 200 significant
strong motion accelerograms have been recorded, processed and analysed.16 While these data do represent
a unique and invaluable collection for studies of strong earthquake ground motion, they do not cover all
different recording conditions to represent a complete observational basis for use in engineering design.
Thus, for certain engineering applications it is necessary to estimate future shaking at a site, often outside
the range of parameters for which recorded data are now available. Furthermore, considerable variability
in the characteristics of recorded motion even under similar conditions may require a characterization of
future shaking in terms of an ensemble of accelerograms rather than one or two `typical' records. This and
related requirements have created a need for the development of techniques for generation of artificial time
histories that simulate realistic ground shaking with different degrees of detail and from different viewpoints. In this paper, we present a refinement of the method presented by Trifunac.27
Apparent overall irregularity of early recorded accelerograms12 and the limited number of records in the
1950's have led some investigators to explore the possibility of modelling strong ground shaking by means
of random time functions of simple but known properties. Thus, Housner,13 for example, assumed that an
accelerogram could be modelled by a series of one-cycle sine-wave pulses. Others used a series of pulses
distributed randomly in time.,',', 15,22,23 On the basis of such artificial time functions of known statistical
properties, it became possible to study the response of hysteretic structures14 and to design for the effects of
seismic forces on the basis of probability methods.9, 19,25
With the increasing number of recorded accelerograms in the 1950's and early 1960's, it became clear4
that the non-stationarity of ground motion can influence structural response significantly. This prompted
the development of a number of non-stationary random time series methods for the construction of artificial
accelerograms.2, 3, 6, 8,10,17,18, 24 The non-stationarity in these models was achieved typically by (a) multiplying
stationary random time series by a non-stationary envelope function, by (b) changing the frequency content
of artificial accelerograms as a function of time, and by (c) superimposing simple earthquake sources with
some phase delay in time20 to represent propagation of a simple earthquake sourced by means of radiated
P- and S-waves only.

Recent observational studies of strong ground motion have shown that a typical strong motion record
consists of near-field, intermediate field, body waves and surface waves contributing different amounts to the
total result, depending on the earthquake source mechanism and on the wave path . 16, 19 -31 Empirical studies
of spectral characteristics32, 33 and of the frequency-dependent duration 34,
14,15 have further shown the
dependence on the geologic environment of the recording station. Consequently, realistic artificial accelerograms should have non-stationary frequency, amplitude and duration characteristics that agree with the
trends which are now known to be present in the recorded accelerograms.

The purpose of this paper is to present an engineering method for generating artificial strong motion
accelerograms which
(i) have Fourier amplitude spectra consistent with spectra computed from recorded accelerograms in
conditions characterized by (a) magnitude, M, and source-to-station distance, R32 or (b) Modified
Mercalli Intensity (MMI) at the site;33

(ii) have duration of strong shaking which is consistent with observations and with empirical scaling of
the duration in terms of M and R34 or MMI;35 and
(iii) have overall transient time characteristics with wave arrivals consistent with dispersive properties of
the wave guide beneath the recording station.ss, 27
Artificial accelerograms with proper dispersive characteristics and realistic wave arrival times cannot be
derived from Fourier amplitude spectra only.32, 33 This is because, so far, a method for empirical scaling of
Fourier phase spectra in terms of geologic characteristics of a site has not been developed. This seems as
difficult as correlating the complete acceleration time function with the local geology data. To avoid this
difficult task, in this paper we show how, by means of a scaling factor a, the assumed spectral amplitudes
at any given frequency w, and containing all information on the dispersion, can be changed to agree with
spectral amplitudes consistent with observations and with the above three requirements.
THEORETICAL BASIS
Most empirical scaling procedures neglect the phase of the Fourier spectrum of acceleration since a regression
analysis involving the phase of the Fourier transform is equivalent in difficulty to correlating the time
histories themselves . Instead, just the modulus of the Fourier transform is typically correlated with pertinent
scaling parameters . These correlations may take many different forms depending on which parameters are
used to characterize strong ground motion .31, 33
To describe the method presented in this report we begin by considering a group of harmonic waves
having a Fourier transform of the form
c1exp[- i(w-wn)tl +iq1], for wn-Du,Sw<,Wn+Ow

F1(cu)= clexp[- i(w+w,, )tl-i7l], for - wn-Ow_< w<, - co,, +Oco (1)
0, otherwise

F1(w) I has a constant amplitude c1 and its wave form in the time domain is
fi(t) = 2w

F1(w) exp (iwt) dw = Q1( t) cos (co,,, t+01) (2)

in which Q1(t) is an envelope function


Ql(t)

2c sin Ow(t - t*)

(3)

The function Q1(t) has its maximum at t = t*, and it decreases as I t - tl I increases . The quantity tl* can be
viewed here as the arrival time for the wave group f1(t).
Consider now a second group of waves

It has a constant Fourier amplitude I F2(w) I of c2 over the same frequency band as fi(t), i.e.
c2exp[ - i(w-wn)t 2

for wn- Ow<w<, wn+Ow

F2(w) = ^ c2exp [- i(w+Con) t2 -Iq2], for -wn-Ow<w < -wn+Ow

(5)

0, otherwise

When these two groups of waves are superimposed as


g(t) = fi(t)+f2(t) (6)
the Fourier amplitude of g(t) is no /longer constant, and becomes
G( w)

I = Fi (w) + F2(w) I - V {C2 + C2 + 2c1 C2 COS

a function of w over the interval,

(7)

< I w < wn +Ow.

The oscillatory characteristics of I G(w) I about its mean are such that the amplitude is controlled by the
difference in amplitudes of ci and c2 and the rate of oscillation is controlled by the difference in arrival times,
(ti - tz ). Therefore, the irregularities of a typical Fourier amplitude spectrum can be thought of as being the
interferences caused by many wave groups arriving at the site with different amplitudes and at different
times.
To reconstruct an accelerogram from the Fourier amplitude spectrum, one must have the following
information: (i) the arrival times and (ii) the relative amplitudes of different waves. For the latter task, only
relative amplitudes are needed because the absolute amplitude of the combined time history is given by the
Fourier amplitude spectrum of the complete artificial accelerogram.
GENERATION OF SYNTHETIC ACCELEROGRAMS
Wave propagation studies have shown that in an inhomogeneous medium the surface waves and body
waves travel at different velocities. Furthermore, in layered media surface waves travel in a dispersive
manner , their velocities depending on the material properties of the medium, the frequency of wave motion
and the geometrical configuration of the layers. The group velocities for a particular site can be estimated
either by processing of previous records using techniques in observational seismology or by theoretical
calculations . At present, most theoretical models are based on horizontal parallel layers. An example is
shown in Figure 1, in which an approximate profile for the El Centro, California site is used. Although the
assumption of horizontal layers is a restrictive one, it is advantageous to use theoretically calculated dispersion curves for the generation of arrival times of different phases because experimentally derived results
may not be available for all sites and it is also difficult to obtain them for high frequencies.
Once the dispersion curves have been computed, the arrival times of the mth mode at wn can be written as
t*m = R/Um(wn) (8)
where R is the distance from the source to the station and Um(wn) is the group velocity of the mth mode at
the frequency band centred at wn.
One can select the frequency bands narrow enough, i.e. Own is small enough, so that Um(w) is approximately constant throughout, wn-OwnSwSwn+Awn. Then the contribution to the total accelerogram
from this particular frequency band can be expressed as
m sinOwn( t-tnm )
(w
hn(t)
,(t)
- E an Anm n t + On)
t-t nm
m=1

(9)

where M is the total number of surface wave modes, On is a phase introduced to include random effects of
source dislocation and other miscellaneous effects along the propagation path, wn is the centre frequency,
and t*m is the arrival time of the mth mode given by equation (8). The amplitude of each mode is currently
defined as an Anm, Anm being the relative amplitudes of different surface wave modes and an is a scale
factor to be used for determining the final amplitude through a specified overall Fourier amplitude spectrum
FS(wn).

As pointed out by Trifunac27 body P- and S-waves could be modelled for purposes of generating artificial
accelerograms for use in engineering response calculations in two different ways. One approach would
consist of adding two bursts of energy to the surface wave motions modelled by (9). Another simpler
approach adopted in this paper is to merely add `higher order modes' to the dispersion curves of surface
waves and to select Anm so that contributions of these modes `represent' P- and S-wave arrivals. Surface
wave modes 6 and 7 in Figure 1 have been chosen in this manner for examples shown in this work.
Calculation of Anm and On
Depending upon the faulting mechanism and the wave paths to the site, various amplitudes of body and
surface waves will be excited. Some methods have been developed in seismology for the partitioning of energy
radiated into these contributions, but for strong motion and for near field shaking, scaling of spectral

amplitudes based on the empirical scaling laws derived from recorded accelerograms may be preferable.
For the accelerograms presented in this paper, Anm was chosen to be as proposed by Trifunac.27

The Fourier amplitude spectrum


Since the Fourier amplitude spectrum (Figure 2)32.33 is the most direct quantity that can be used for
defining the amplitudes of an accelerogram, it is useful to derive detailed knowledge on how it varies as a
function of the simple earthquake scaling parameters.
For scaling in terms of the earthquake magnitude, the Fourier spectrum, FS, as a function of period T is
log10 = M+log10A0(R)-a(T)pl-b(T)M-c(T)-d(T)s-e(T)v-f(T)M2-g(T)R.

(15)

In this relationship, M is the magnitude, R is the epicentral distance, v = 0 for horizontal components and
v = 1 for vertical components, and s = 0 for the alluvium sites, s = 2 for a site on the sound basement rock
with s = 1 for `intermediate' geologic conditions. The terms a(T), b(T), ...,g(T) are regression coefficients
found independently at each period (T). Following Trifunac,32 for magnitudes M<Mmin = -b(T)/2f(T),
the terms -b(T) M-f(T) M2 are replaced by the constant -b(T) Mmin-f(T) Mmin, and for magnitudes
Mi Mmax = [1-b(T)]l2f(T), the terms M- b(T) M-f(T) M2 are replaced by the constant
Mmax - b(T) Mmax -f(T) Mmax.

The term log10 is the attenuation function given by Richter21 for the local magnitude scale in
southern California. To apply this method correctly to another region, the coefficients in equation (15),
or a comparable equation, should be derived entirely from data of that region. However, in the absence of
such data, a reasonable approximation is to replace the term log10 derived for southern California with
one applicable to the region considered.
The term a(T)p, describes the way the data are distributed about the mean curve, where pl is approximately
the probability that FS(T) will not be exceeded for a given M, R, s and v. The values of a(T)g(T) for
eleven periods are given in Table II(a) while the attenuation factor log10 is shown in Table 11(b).
For the scaling in terms of the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI), the regression equation has the form33
log10

= a(T)pl + b(T) Imm + c(T) + d(T) s + e(T) v

(16)

in which Iiilnl is the integer corresponding to the level of intensity at the site. Other parameters such as p1,
s and v are defined in the same manner as in equation (15). The numerical values of a, b, c, d and e(T) are
given in Table III.

Equations (15) and (16) give Fourier amplitude spectra in terms of pi which, for 0.1 < pl < 0.9, approximates
the actual distribution, pa, of spectral amplitudes about those two assumed models. It has been shown by
Anderson and Trifunacl that pa can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution function at all periods.
They show that

(in the sense of least squares ) of mean and standard deviation and are determined from the data on FS
amplitudes and for different periods T (see Tables 11(a) and III).

Unless a particular situation calls for a specified spectrum, the above two empirical scaling functions are
capable of providing site-dependent Fourier amplitude spectra that are consistent with current observations.
Duration of strong shaking
For structural analyses that consider fatigue and non-linear response of structures, the excitation level
alone is generally inadequate to characterize the response, and a description of the duration of strong shaking
is also necessary. For this reason, in this work the duration is included as an important frequency-dependent
quantity while generating a synthetic accelerogram.
The duration of strong shaking is closely related to the difference in arrival times of the fastest and the
slowest waves. Thus, if a representative dispersion curve can be derived for the site, it is most likely that such
an estimate of the duration will be in agreement with the empirical scaling relationships based on recorded
accelerograms.

The duration T is defined so that I(T) is 90 per cent of l(oo), i.e. T is taken to be the interval in time in which
90 per cent of the seismic energy is contributed to the motion at a point. Since the input vibrational energy
represents an important parameter in measurements of fatigue , this definition of duration appears to be
useful from a structural analysis point of view.
The duration has been correlated with different parameters describing characteristics of strong shaking
in a manner similar to that used in scaling the Fourier amplitude spectra. In the work by Trifunac and
Westermo' 34,35

the duration is analysed in six frequency bands, ranging from 0.125 Hz to 25 Hz as in

Table IV.

Using these frequency bands, the correlation of duration with magnitude in each frequency band takes
the form
D = as+bM+cR+du

(18)

where s is the site classification parameter, M is the magnitude, R is the epicentral distance and Q is the
standard deviation. It was found that the vertical and horizontal components of the accelerograms have to
be analysed separately, so the coefficients a, b, c, d and u are tabulated in Table V for both vertical and
horizontal components. For cases where MMI is used, the available data are collected into the form of a
table with the site condition and MMI as independent variables. The results are tabulated in Table VI.

EXAMPLES
Following the development in equations (8)-(13), and by employing equations ( 14)-(19), one can readily
devise a computer program to calculate a synthetic accelerogram.37
Figures 3-6 present examples of artificial accelerograms computed for selected scaling parameters and
using frequency-dependent duration. In addition to synthetic acceleration, these figures show the frequency(cps) and time- (s) dependent amplitudes in equation (13) normalized so that the largest amplitude is equal
to 5. To avoid cluttering and to show the significant contribution to synthesized acceleration , in these
figures we present these amplitudes only for f< 5.75 cps. All accelerograms were calculated , however, for
0.07<f,< 25 cps.
The effect of different site conditions (s = 2 for basement rock and s = 0 for alluvium) is shown in
Figures 7 and 8 for M = 6.5, R = 20 km, v = 0 and p = 0-5. While the overall acceleration amplitudes are
quite similar, for s = 0 duration of strong shaking is longer than for s = 2.
Figures 9 and 10 present a similar comparison between s = 0 and s = 2 (alluvium and basement rock sites)
and for MMI = V, R = 30 km, v = 0 and p = 0.5. Other examples of artificial accelerograms computed in
terms of M and R or MMI and R have been presented by Wong and Trifunac . 37 They also show how equations
(15) and ( 16) and the correlations of the duration of strong shaking can be refined to include the depth of
sedimentary deposits beneath the station.

CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we have presented a method for synthesizing realistic strong motion accelerograms for use in
engineering design. The advantages of this method are that the results have almost all known characteristics
of recorded strong shaking. In particular, these artificial accelerograms have non-stationary characteristics
in time which are derived from known dispersive properties of earthquake waves guided through shallow low
velocity layers of the earth's crust. These dispersive characteristics can be introduced directly as an input
into the computer program and thus can portray directly the geologic environment of each specific site.
Other scaling functionals required for synthesis of artificial accelerograms presented here are (i) the Fourier
amplitude spectrum and (ii) the frequency-dependent duration of strong shaking. These two functionals can
be estimated either in terms of empirical scaling relations developed in terms of earthquake magnitude 31,34
or in terms of Modified Mercalli Intensity.33, 35
