Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) model representing a soil domain and a ground motion time history recorded/measured at the top of the soil domain in a seismic event are received in a computer system. A single-column model representing horizontal soil layers is generated from the 3D model. The single-column model contains nodal points mapped from nodes on the bottom and sides of the 3D model in the depth direction of the soil domain. A time interval is determined for interpolating the ground motion time history for calculating soil motion and stresses at the nodal points along the single-column model. The time interval is to avoid numerical problem in the computer system by limiting computer memory usage and by limiting calculated soil motion at the bottom of the single-column model. The seismic event is simulated based on the 3D model applied with the soil motion and stresses transferred from the single-column model.
