The methods used for a building seismic hazard evaluation are presented with the associated results. The goals of the study are (1) to check the soil nature and the existence or not of a possible site effect around the installation and (2) to characterize the dynamic behavior of the building using ambient vibration records.
The results of the soil study with the Nakamura method are very difficult to interpret because they are not stable in space and time. The spectral ratios method has been used with regional earthquake records. The results of the application of this method allowed us to conclude that the installation was free of site effect.
The ambient vibration measurements on the building brought the conclusion to determine the first and second modes of the structure. These results have been used to calibrate numerical model. The modal shapes in plan (high roof) and in elevation (main column) have been evaluated. The damping of the building has been computed using ambient vibration records. 相似文献
Based on the Kalman filter theory, a new data-assimilation method has been used to improve the 3-D oceanic temperature field
of the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA) coupled general circulation model. This method is applied to assimilate
surface and subsurface temperature of in situ measurements from the Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic project
(PIRATA). The assimilation of the PIRATA data produces an improved representation of the thermal state of the ocean and allows
a better estimation of other oceanographic quantities, like meridional heat fluxes and zonal currents. The present paper focuses
on the tropical Atlantic and, in particular, it contains new reconstructed temperature profiles. One-month forecast experiments
during 1999 were performed and the impact of the assimilation is discussed.

Introduction There have been nearly 40 years for earthquake prediction since the research on earthquake prediction was carried out in plan by some advanced countries since 1960s. For the hard long process of earthquake prediction, Alen, American famous scientist and former president of the evaluation commission of earthquake prediction in California, USA, said that the difficulty of earthquake prediction is more than the expected and the practical progress of earthquake prediction is more sl… 相似文献
