Abstract

The response of a class of elastic shear beam structures subjected to earthquake excitation is studied. The accelerogram of the ground is represented by a nonstationary shaped Gaussian white noise process. The general expressions for the evolutionary power spectra and the mean-square responses of the deflection field are developed. The time variations of the response power spectra and the mean-square responses are evaluated and the effects of nonuniformity are discussed.
