Seismic Fragility Assessment of Steel SMRF Structures under Various Types of Near and Far Fault Ground Motions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 1974
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]

open access: yes, 2004
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.

Application of the Incremental Modal Pushover Analysis to Bridges Subjected to Near-Fault Ground Motions

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Near-fault events can cause severe damage to civil structures, including bridges. Many studies have demonstrated that the seismic assessment is not straightforward.

Validation of (not‐historical) large‐event near‐fault ground‐motion simulations for use in civil engineering applications

open access: yesEarthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2020
Ground‐motion simulations generated from physics‐based wave propagation models are gaining increasing interest in the engineering community for their potential to inform the performance‐based design and assessment of infrastructure residing in active ...

Quantitative Identification of Pulse-Like Ground Motions Based on Hilbert–Huang Transform

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2021
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 ...

Pseudo-double impulse for simulating critical response of elastic-plastic MDOF model under near-fault earthquake ground motion

open access: yes, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
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 Near‐Fault Ground Motion Characteristics of Sustained and Unsustained Free Surface‐Induced Supershear Rupture on Strike‐Slip Faults

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020
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
