A computer program "SigProce" (Signal Processing) has been designed to
evaluate seismic response in sites and buildings by multiple techniques, such as
the H/V method and the reference site method, in simple, easy and efficient
manner. The program
has been written using Fortran language for Windows
XP with Microsoft Developer Studio. It allows applying many methods of signal
processing. So, programming these methods provides us a useful tool in
application and education domains. The processing methods which can be
applied are: calibration, shifting and trending correction, decimation, delete an
interval, data windowing, integration and differentiation, signal rotation,
filtering, convolution/deconvolution, correlation, and smoothing. Furthermore,
the program has many graphical outputs for signals, spectra, spectral ratio,
particle ground motion, polarigram and others.
It was found in this research that the seismic response of the
structure increases with the decrease in the shear waves velocity in
the soil, and the seismic response of the structure increases with
soil layer thickness between the foundations of the structure and
bedrock depth.
In this research, a study of full tank case is carried out. The water
contained in the tank was modeled as two masses following the
recommendations of Eurocode.
