Usually, GPS observation provides direct evidence to estimate coseismic displacement. However, GPS stations are scattered, sparse and cannot provide a detailed distribution of coseismic displacement.

Studies on the seismic response of skewed integral abutment bridges have mainly focused on response under far-field non-pulse-type ground motions, yet the large amplitude and long-period velocity pulses in near-fault ground motions might have significant

Influence of near-fault effects and of incident angle of earthquake waves on the seismic inelastic demands of a typical Jack-Up platform [PDF]
In this paper, the potential influence of near-fault effects and of the incident angle of earthquake waves to the seismic response of a typical jack-up offshore platform is assessed by means of incremental dynamic analysis involving a three dimensional ...

Real-Time Estimation of Fault Rupture Extent Using Envelopes of Acceleration [PDF]
We present a new strategy to estimate the geometry of a rupture on a finite fault in real time for earthquake early warning. We extend the work of Cua and Heaton who developed the virtual seismologist (VS) method (Cua, 2005), which is a Bayesian approach

Earthquake ground motion amplification for surface waves [PDF]
Surface waves from earthquakes are known to cause strong damage, especially for larger structures such as skyscrapers and bridges. However, common practice in characterizing seismic hazard at a specific site considers the effect of near-surface geology ...

Seismic Collapse Risk Assessment of Braced Frames under Near-Fault Earthquakes
Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) located in regions close to earthquake faults may be subjected to near-fault ground motions, often characterized by pulses with long periods.

Preliminary work on an early warning and rapid response program for moderate earthquakes [PDF]
Warning of imminent ground shaking due to a large earthquake would be useful to a variety of agencies. This kind of ground-motion prediction is possible in southern California for events with magnitude less than 6, where path effects dominate.

Statistical Features of Short-Period and Long-Period Near-Source Ground Motions [PDF]
This study collects recorded ground motions from the near-source region of large earthquakes and considers to what extent this historic record can inform expectations of future ground motions at similar sites.

Seismic Response and Damage Analysis of an Isolated Bridge Subjected to Near-Fault Ground Motion
In this study, the seismic response and damage behavior of an isolated bridge under near-fault ground motion are studied and compared with the non-isolated bridge.
