Nuclear reactor buildings must be designed to withstand the dynamic load induced by strong ground motion earthquakes.
In this study, an AI physics-based approach is proposed to generate synthetic ground motion by integrating a neural operator and a denoising diffusion probabilistic model.
The neural operator approximates the elastodynamics Green's operator, while the diffusion model corrects the generated ground motion time series.
The approach enhances the realism of synthetic seismograms and improves the frequency biases and Goodness-Of-Fit (GOF) scores.
