A Mathematical Representation of Near-Fault Ground Motions
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2003A simple, yet effective, analytical model is proposed for the representation of near-field strong ground motions. The model adequately describes the impulsive character of near-fault ground motions both qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, it can be used to analytically reproduce empirical observations that are based on available near-source ...

Characteristics of near-fault ground motion containing velocity pulses
Acta Seismologica Sinica, 2006There are many reports about the research on near-fault velocity pulses, which focus on the generation of velocity pulse and simplify the velocity pulse so as to be used in the seismic design of structure. However few researches have put emphasis on the characteristics of near-fault ground motions containing velocity pulses, especially the ...

Near-fault fling-step ground motions: Characteristics and simulation
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2017Abstract The presence of long-period pulses in the near-fault pulse-type ground motions increases the damage potential of such ground motions, particularly for the flexible structures like bridges. It is necessary to carry out nonlinear analyses of structural systems for ensuring their safety in the near-source regions.

Multifractal characteristic analysis of near-fault earthquake ground motions
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2015Abstract This study aims to reveal the multi-scaling behavior and quantify the irregularity of near-fault earthquake ground motions from a new perspective of multifractal theory. Based on multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis, the multifractal characteristic parameters of acceleration time series for typical near-fault ground motions are ...

Automated parameterization of velocity pulses in near‐fault ground motions
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2023AbstractProper parameterization of near‐fault ground motions is of critical importance in earthquake engineering, and this process is traditionally performed by directly fitting an analytical pulse model to the original motion. Yet such a process is usually limited by the trial‐and‐error procedure, which is strongly dependent on the initial guesses and

Simulation method of near-fault pulse-type ground motion
Acta Seismologica Sinica, 2007The two characteristics of near-fault ground motions, i.e., the forward directivity effect and permanent displacement effect, result in long period and large velocity pulse in the velocity time history and large step pulse in the displacement time history.

A vector‐valued intensity measure for near‐fault ground motions
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2020SummaryNear‐fault ground motions containing high energy and large amplitude velocity pulses may cause severe damage to structures. The most widely used intensity measure (IM) is the elastic spectral acceleration at the fundamental period of the structure (Sa(T1)); however, Sa(T1) is not a sufficient IM with respect to the effects of the pulse‐like ...

Residual slip of sliding blocks induced by near‐fault ground motions
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2016SummaryThe response of a rigid block supported on a horizontally moving foundation through a dry‐friction contact is investigated to near‐fault ground motions. Such motions can be thought of as consisting of a coherent component (‘pulse’) and an incoherent component, which can be described as a band‐limited ‘random noise’.

Simulation of Near Fault Ground Motion in Delhi Region
2014Ground motions in the vicinity of the source caused severe damage to structures as evidenced during the past earthquakes (Loma Prieta 1989; Kobe 1995; Chi-Chi 1999). Near fault ground motions are characterized by long period velocity pulse as reported in literature (Somerville, 2005).

Near-Fault Ground Motion Effects on Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2007Characteristics of near-fault ground motions warrant special consideration due to their severe and impulsive effects on structures. These characteristics are unique compared to far-field ground motions, upon which nearly all seismic design criteria are based.
