Level ground shaking


Introduction

The main objective of this example is to illustrate how QUAKE/W can be used to do a one-dimensional ground response analysis. Often these types of analyses are done with software products that are specifically designed for this purpose. One such product is ProShake (see the QUAKE/W – ProShake Comparison Example for more details). QUAKE/W, however, can be used equally well for this type of analysis. Moreover, a true effective stress nonlinear analysis can be done with QUAKE/W, which is not available in a frequency domain formulation, such as ProShake. This example includes both an Equivalent Linear-type of analysis and an effective stress Nonlinear-type of analysis.
