Ground‐motion models for inelastic response spectra using NGA‐West2 database
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article presents ground‐motion models (GMMs) for inelastic response spectra using the NGA‐West2 database. The inelastic response spectra are defined in terms of constant ductility. The GMMs are used to observe the effect of event scenarios, site conditions, and oscillator properties on maximum displacement. Using a large database enabled us to quantify the magnitude scaling of inelastic response as compared to that for the traditional elastic GMMs. We observe that using the magnitude scaling of elastic GMM for hazard analysis of inelastic structural response can be unconservative for large magnitudes and large ductility ratios. To compare our models with models in the literature, we use the developed GMMs to compute the Reduction Factor due to inelasticity. Comparison of this model with models in the literature shows the importance of considering the effect of magnitude on the Reduction Factor. We also observe that the ratio of RotD100/RotD50 is larger for inelastic single‐degree‐of‐freedom system than that for elastic system, and the ratio increases with increasing ductility.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
