Seismosoft

SeismoArtif is an application capable of generating artificial earthquake accelerograms matched to a specific target response spectrum using different calculation methods and varied assumptions. It is noted that the use of real accelerograms and spectrum matching techniques (see SeismoMatch), together with records selection tools, tends to be recommended for the derivation of suites of records for use in nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures. However, in those cases where access to real accelerograms is, for whatever reason, challenging or inappropriate, then a tool such as SeismoArtif will be of pertinence and usefulness.

SeismoMatch is an application capable of adjusting earthquake records, through wavelet addition, to match a specific target response spectrum. Users have the opportunity to simultaneously match a number of accelerograms, and then obtain a mean matched spectrum whose maximum misfit respects a pre-defined tolerance. This software can be used in combination with record selection tools to define adequate suites of records for nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures.

SeismoSignal constitutes a simple, yet efficient, package for the processing of strong-motion data. Amongst other things, it allows for the derivation of elastic and constant ductility inelastic response spectra, computation of Fourier amplitude spectra, filtering of high and low frequency record content and estimation of other important seismological parameters, such as the Arias Intensity and the significant and effective durations.

SeismoStruct is an award-winning program developed for the accurate analytical assessment of different classes of structures, such as buildings, bridges or industrial plants, subjected to earthquake strong motion. It features a number of verified nonlinear static and dynamic analysis methods (pushover, incremental dynamic analysis, etc.) so as to meet the analytical requirements posed by the modern performance-based seismic assessment and design philosophy.

SeismoBuild is an innovative Finite Element package wholly and exclusively dedicated to seismic assessment and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures that is targeted to the design office. The program is capable of fully carrying out the Code defined assessment methodologies from the structural modelling through to the required analyses and the corresponding member checks. Currently three European Codes are supported (Eurocodes, Italian National Seismic Code NTC-08, Greek Seismic Interventions Code KANEPE). Both metric and imperial units, as well as European and US reinforcing bars types are supported.

SeismoSpect allows users to create their own library of ground motion records and save them all in a single file making it easy to handle and share large numbers of records. This application is then capable of applying several filter types, perform baseline-correction, computing the mean spectral response of a collection of accelerograms and to compare these results with a target spectrum. A number of strong-motion parameters can also be calculated.
