Title: Quantifying uncertainties of a Soil-Foundation Structure-Interaction System under Seismic Excitation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/928557· OSTI ID:928557

We applied a spectrum of uncertainty quantification (UQ) techniques to the study of a two-dimensional soil-foundation-structure-interaction (2DSFSI) system (obtained from Professor Conte at UCSD) subjected to earthquake excitation. In the process we varied 19 uncertain parameters describing material properties of the structure and the soil. We present in detail the results for the different stages of our UQ analyses.
