Brazil is in an intraplate area of low to moderate seismicity, this means that few or no records of strong ground motions are available. Part of the site response analysis and seismic design of structures require the use of acceleration time-histories compatible with a specified target response spectrum. This study aims to utilize methodologies based on the use of existing earthquake records from a well-known database and synthetic accelerograms to obtain ground motions representative of the Brazilian Southeast Region, particularly in the offshore Campos Basin. Information from a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment performed in the interest area was employed as input to the methodologies applied in terms of target response spectrum and the dominant earthquake scenarios. Besides, the acceleration time-histories of two relatively recent earthquakes that occurred in the Brazilian Southeast were used to apply one of the approaches to obtain a synthetic spectrum compatible accelerogram.
Brasil se encuentra en una región intra-placa de baja a moderada sismicidad, esto quiere decir que hay una limitada disponibilidad de registros de acelerogramas representativos de la región. Parte de un estudio de respuesta local o del diseño sísmico de estructuras requiere del uso de registros aceleración-tiempo que sean compatibles con un espectro de diseño. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo la aplicación de metodologías para obtener acelerogramas representativos de la región sudeste brasilera, en particular en la región offshore de la cuenca de Campos. Se utilizó la información del análisis probabilístico del riesgo sísmico desarrollado para la región de interés en este estudio para obtener el espectro de respuesta de diseño y para definir los escenarios sísmicos que generan mayor influencia. Adicionalmente, se utilizó la información de acelerogramas registrados a partir de dos sismos relativamente recientes ocurridos en la región sudeste brasilera, para la aplicación de una de las metodologías de obtención de acelerogramas sintéticos.
