Selecting Real Seismic Records and Scaling it to Fit the Syrian Design Spectra using Genetic Algorithm


Abstract in English

In this study, basic methodologies of the GA and the scaling procedures are summarized, the scaling criteria of real time history records to satisfy the Syrian design code are discussed. The traditional time domain scaling procedures and the scaling procedures using GA are utilized to scale a number of the available real records to match the Syrian design spectra. The resulting time histories of the procedures are investigated and compared in terms of meeting criteria.
