Earthquake load definition

Some researchers classify the different types of uncertainty into aleatory and epistemic (Der Kiureghian and Ditlevsen 2009). Aleatory uncertainty refers to those types of uncertainty that are inherent in nature and, therefore, irreducible by definition. For example, the variability in material properties, variability in earthquake loading, etc. are all irreducible in nature. Epistemic uncertainty refers to those types of uncertainty that may be reduced when more information is available. For example, when an improved model can be used to predict the response of a structure, then the uncertainty regarding the model prediction would decrease, thereby decreasing the overall uncertainty. [Pg.3645]

The design of support structures (not covered by this Code) and of supporting elements (see definitions of piping and pipe-supporting elements in para. GR-1.5) shall be based on all concurrently acting loads transmitted into such supports. These loads, defined in para. IP-2.1, include weight effects, loads introduced by service pressures and temperatures, vibration, wind, earthquake, shock, and displacement strain [see para. IP-6.1.3(a)]. [Pg.113]
