In order to compile the fatigue crack formation and growth accelerated loadspectra, the main wave shapes and load sequence of the actual load spectrum are kept constant, andthe carrier waves are cut off. And secondary waves are put together into new secondary waves toshorten the test time according to the equivalent damage calculation formulae respectively. Then bythe fatigue cumulative damage calculation of the fatigue crack formation and growth accelerated loadspectra, the one corresponding to the bigger damage is determined as the fatigue accelerated testload spectrum. Therefore in the test process, the fatigue accelerated test spectrum may be appliedtill fatigue failure, the engineering fatigue crack length of full-scale structure need not beinspected, and the fatigue crack formation accelerated load spectrum need not be transferred intothe fatigue crack growth accelerated load spectrum. Finally, it is verified by tests of two kinds ofspecimens that the damages of the specimens caused by the accelerated load spectra are near tothose by the actual load spectra; namely, the tested life of actual load spectra is similar to thatof accelerated load spectra. But the test time of accelerated load spectra is shortened by aboutthree-quarters that of actual load spectra. From these tests, it is also found that the fatigueaccelerated test spectrum has an advantage over FALSTAFF spectra.展开更多

The calculation steps and the processing method have been discussed in detail. From the analysis and the comparison of the obtained results, it is concluded that the proposed method is simple and effective, and it broadens the application of digital seismographic network.展开更多

Seismic site response analyses were also performed using data collected from a study area in Babol city. The improved site is a composite ground and has more or less different mechanical properties than the natural ground. In this research, the influence of the elastic modulus of the pile, the pile distance ratio, ground motion input, distance to fault rupture, and PGA of the earthquakes on seismic response characteristics are especially investigated. The results reveal that the values of the PGA and amplification factor on the surface of the natural and improved grounds depend strongly on the fundamental period of the site, the predominant period, and the intensity of the ground motion input. The acceleration response spectra also are affected by the characteristics of ground motion input and soil layers. Changing the pile distance ratio doesn’t have a significant effect on the seismic response of the site.展开更多
