The invention discloses a
selection method for inputting earthquake
waves in time-procedure analysis for
earthquake resistance of complex structures to meet the earthquake-resistant requirements of the complex structures such as a high-
pier long-span
girder bridge, a cable-stayed bridge, a suspension bridge and a super high-rise building. The method comprises the steps that firstly, alternative earthquake
waves which meet different site conditions such as earthquake magnitude, distance, an acceleration
peak value and long cycle characteristics are selected in an American PEER strong earthquake
record database, and a primary-selection
database is formed; secondly, the minimum relative weighted average error of spectrum values of alternative earthquake
wave response spectrums and design response spectrums in the primary-selection
database near previous orders of periodic points of platforms stages and the complex structures is used as a double-control index according to site conditions, and the specific input earthquake
waves are determined to meet the requirement that a time-procedure analysis result is in accordance with
response spectrum analysis analytic statistics. According to the
selection method,
engineering realization is easy to achieve, and the method is compared with multiple mode
decomposition reaction spectrum methods. In addition, due to the fact that the earthquake waves are selected in the appointed primary-selection database, similar classification of the site conditions is ensured, and the quality of input earthquake waves is ensured.
