Seismic Fragility Assessment of Steel SMRF Structures under Various Types of Near and Far Fault Ground Motions [PDF]
In this paper, the seismic collapse probability of special steel moment-resisting frame (SSMRF) structures, designed to 4th edition of Iranian seismic design code, under near fault pulse-like and far fault ordinary ground motions is evaluated through ...

A three-dimensional dislocation model for the San Fernando, California, earthquake of February 9, 1971 [PDF]
The data from five strong-motion accelerograph stations centered above and surrounding the fault are used to develop an approximate three-dimensional dislocation model for the San Fernando earthquake.

Near-Source Ground Motions from Simulations of Sustained Intersonic and Supersonic Fault Ruptures [PDF]
We examine the long-period near-source ground motions from simulations of M 7.4 events on a strike-slip fault using kinematic ruptures with rupture speeds that range from subshear speeds through intersonic speeds to supersonic speeds.

Quantitative Identification of Pulse-Like Ground Motions Based on Hilbert–Huang Transform
Aiming to address the problem of pulse-like ground motions being difficult to identify, this paper refines the Baker’s wavelet-based pulse-like ground motions identification method, followed by a new pulse-like ground motion identification method based ...

A pseudo-double impulse (PDI) is proposed as an extension of the ordinary double impulse (DI) as a substitute of a one-cycle sine wave. PDI is treated as a set of impulsive lateral forces while the ordinary DI was introduced as an impulsive ground ...

GPS source solution of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake [PDF]
We compute a series of finite-source parameter inversions of the fault rupture of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake based on 1 Hz GPS records only. We confirm that some of the co-seismic slip at shallow depth (

Seismic Response Analysis of a Curved Bridge under Near-Fault and Far-Field Ground Motions
To study the influence of near-fault and far-field (FF) ground motions on a curved girder bridge, a 1:10 scale curved bridge shaking table test model was constructed. Three types of ground motions, namely, near-fault pulse (NP), near-fault non-pulse (NN),

The free surface is shown to be one of the key factors that may promote supershear rupture propagation on strike‐slip faults even if its initial shear stress is not larger enough as predicted by the Burridge‐Andrews mechanism. However, previous study has
