Suites of recorded ground motions representative of near-fault and far-field hazards are scaled and inputted into these hysteretic reduced models.
The analytical fragility approach conducted uses three-dimensional nonlinear finite element models for each bridge class, representative of typical geometries and design details as well as ground motions representative of eastern Canada.
The structural performance of the different versions of the frames was evaluated by subjecting each one to a set of twenty ground motions representative of the design earthquake with 10% exceedance probability in fifty years.
This database of ground-motion fields, representative of the possible shaking scenarios that the investigated area can experience over a user-specified time span, are used to compute the corresponding hazard curve for each site.
Then, the representative motions are chosen into a motion database, where a motion graph is constructed to connect those motions with smooth transitions.
Once the pixel correspondences are determined which define representative motion vectors, we build a set of activity pattern features based on motion statistics in each frame.
MOTION by the representative of Bulgaria to amend Article V, Section ii, para 5, to include the word "possible" (i.e., "possible infractions").
In 1989, Khmer Rouge forces failed to return to power in Cambodia because after Vietnam's withdrawal they lacked widespread support and because the international community joined together to set in motion a more representative Cambodian government.
The findings offered by the committee's members and the positive, heavy media coverage of its hearings – not to mention the scores of letters sent home by soldiers complaining of their poor supplies – shielded the committee, such that a motion offered by Representative Stevens to curtail its work was soundly defeated.
