Frontiers in Built Environment, 2016 The effect of near-fault ground displacement is a significant factor when structures straddle a fault, because the fault produces both static step-like deformations and dynamic pulse-like ground motions. It has been observed that the static displacements

Finite-element simulations of earthquakes [PDF]
, 1999 This thesis discusses simulations of earthquake ground motions using prescribed ruptures and dynamic failure. Introducing sliding degrees of freedom led to an innovative technique for numerical modeling of earthquake sources.

The Seismic Behavior of Buildings with Flat Slab Systems under Near-Fault Ground Motions
Düzce Üniversitesi Bilim ve Teknoloji Dergisi, 2023 It is well known that structural displacement or ductility demands of structures subjected to near-fault ground motions are generally greater than ordinary ground motions.

Statistical Features of Short-Period and Long-Period Near-Source Ground Motions [PDF]
, 2009 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 reliability assessment of classical columns subjected to near-fault ground motions [PDF]
, 2013 A methodology for the performance-based seismic risk assessment of classical columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general, earthquake resistant, as proven from the fact that many classical monuments have ...

Real-Time Estimation of Fault Rupture Extent Using Envelopes of Acceleration [PDF]
, 2008 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

Inelastic Displacement Ratio Spectrum for Near-Fault Ground Motions [PDF]
International Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2013 This paper examines the spectrum of inelastic displacement ratio (IDR) for structures subjected to near-fault earthquakes. IDR can be defined as the ratio of the maximum inelastic to the maximum elastic displacement of a structure and allows the computation of its maximum inelastic displacement directly from the corresponding elastic counterpart ...

Evidence for Unusually Strong Near-field Ground Motion on the Hanging Wall of the San Fernando Fault during the 1971 Earthquake [PDF]
, 1998 Reports of unusually intense ground motions in the very near fields of faults that have ruptured during earthquakes are becoming more common, particularly with the markedly increased worldwide strong-motion instrumentation in recent years (e.g., Heaton ...
