Title: Satellite Workshop 2 – Response History Analysis Validation
Convener: Reagan Chandramohan

Response history analysis of structural and geotechnical systems has become increasingly prevalent in earthquake engineering research and practice. Proportionately little attention has, however, been paid to the verification and validation of commonly employed modelling techniques and numerical solution procedures. Hence, we are presently unable to provide quantitative estimates of the accuracy and precision of our simulation results. Improving confidence in the predictive capabilities of response history analysis procedures through systematic validation exercises will require concerted efforts in the following four key thrust areas: (i) recording seismic response data in the laboratory and the field; (ii) collecting and curating observational datasets; (iii) developing an analysis validation methodology; and (iv) performing validation for different problem types. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in order to collate ideas, identify priorities, and foster collaborative efforts to move forward with the validation exercise.

Workshop participants are requested to submit a 1–2 page extended abstract describing their views on the topic using the following template: Extended Abstract Template.docx, and a bibliography summarising relevant and significant prior research on response history analysis validation, before 4 August 2017. Additional information regarding the workshop and more specific instructions on the submission of extended abstracts and bibliographies can be found in the following document: Workshop Information.pdf.
