Modification of Ground Motions Using Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization Algorithm

  • First Online:
Applications of Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms in Civil Engineering

Abstract

In this chapter a simple and robust approach is presented for spectral matching of ground motions utilizing the wavelet transform and an improved metaheuristic optimization technique. For this purpose, wavelet transform is used to decompose the original ground motions to several levels, where each level covers a special range of frequency, and then each level is multiplied by a variable. Subsequently, the enhanced colliding bodies optimization (ECBO) technique is employed to calculate the variables such that the error between the response and target spectra is minimized. The application of the proposed method is illustrated through modifying 12 sets of ground motions [1].
