Abstract
A spectral representation-based simulation methodology is proposed to generate sample functions of a multi-variate, multi-dimensional, non-Gaussian stochastic vector field, according to a prescribed cross-spectral density matrix and prescribed (non-Gaussian) probability distribution functions. The proposed methodology is integrated into a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm that is used to assess the effects of stochastic variability of soil properties on the response of soil deposits to seismic excitation.
