Machine Learning For Structural Engineering

This document discusses using machine learning to analyze mean response spectra for earthquakes in India. Specifically, it aims to create a logical programming model to study patterns in mean response spectra from past earthquakes in seismic Zone 4 of India. Response spectra are useful for designing structures to resist seismic forces based on previous ground excitations. However, increasing complexity in building codes has led to more building damage during earthquakes. This project seeks to better understand failure mechanisms and avoid future damage by learning from past seismic events.

FINDING MEAN RESPONSE SPECTRA

FOR EARTHQUAKE USING


MACHINE LEARNING

Abstract

Earthquake, as one of the most destructive natural disasters, causes huge economic losses and
casualties. Therefore, to analyze the seismic performance of structures for decision making for more
effective disaster prevention and mitigation measures, researchers have carried out extensive
research using shaking table tests and time-history analyses on the deformation mechanism, weak
links, and characteristics of mechanical responses of structures subjected to earthquakes. The
earthquake research becomes increasingly complex and consequently the building codes too. First of
all, because we want to express everything in formulas even where nature does not imagine and
regardless of whether investigations are based on inaccurate assumptions. Sometimes it is difficult
to understand, why if there are so much seismic research there are so many building damages all
around the world. Perhaps the reason is that the practicing engineers and builders are confused with
the increasing complexity of the building code. The best way to avoid the building damages is to
learn from the failures that can occur during a seismic event. Study of response spectrum is required
because the powerful earthquake that struck in India has been the most damaging earthquakes and
caused a large loss of property and life. So, it is required to use accurate design provisions to carry
out the accurate design to resist the seismic forces based on available response of previous
earthquake ground excitation. Concept of response spectra was first introduced by Housner (1941)
and Biot (1942), since then it is useful and informative in solving problems of design and analysis of
structures subjected to strong earthquake motions. Structures constructed on the soil that
undergoing in the deformation during ground motion that deformation or change in behaviour
described by the response of the structure in the form of Deformation, Velocity and Acceleration.
This paper presents earthquake performance of structures during earthquake intensity, ground
shaking effects on structures, site condition effects on building damage, other factors affecting
damage, failure mechanisms of structures, earthquake damage and damage categories in past
earthquake in India. Main focus of this project is to create logical programming to study the pattern
of mean response spectrum of earthquakes in India (Zone4)
