CONDITIONAL SIMULATION OF GAUSSIAN STOCHASTIC FIELDS FOR EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a stochastic interpolation method of conditional simulation on a temporal and spatial gaussian field. The major contributions of this paper makes use of simple auto-regressive modeling in the time domain which expresses the very property of spatially and temporally deviating phenomena such as an earthquake wave propagation, and the development of an effective method in terms of computer time.
