- The simulation of artificial ground motion time-histories is necessary for the seismic analysis and design of complex structures. This paper presents a robust analytical approach based on stochastic mechanics, investigating different strategies and hypotheses to simulate ground motion for the seismic analysis of structures. This research is significant because it highlights for the first time weaknesses in the current seismic Eurocode’s prescriptions (EN 1998), demonstrating limitations in general understanding such as the idea that stationary ground motions are always more conservative than nonstationary ones. This research is a key outcome of EPSRC project EP/K004867/1 and underpinned AHRC grant AH/R007934/1.
