Estimating Maximum Rotation of Beam of R.C. Momentâresisting Frames Using Equivalent Pulses of Near-fault Motions [PDF]
مجله مدل سازی در مهندسی, 2017 Seismic events all over the world have shown that ground motions in vicinity of causative faults (within a distance of 15 km from the fault) may be categorized as large-velocity pulse and large-displacement fault which have the potential to cause ...

Collapse risk and residual drift performance of steel buildings using post-tensioned MRFs and viscous dampers in near-fault regions [PDF]
, 2016 The potential of post-tensioned self-centering moment-resisting frames (SC-MRFs) and viscous dampers to reduce the collapse risk and improve the residual drift performance of steel buildings in near-fault regions is evaluated.

Near-Source Ground Motions from Simulations of Sustained Intersonic and Supersonic Fault Ruptures [PDF]
, 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.

Comparison between the Effects of Near- and Far-Fault Ground Motions on the Seismic Response of a Soil-Pile-Structure System [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 Ground motions recorded in near-fault sites, where the rupture propagates toward the site, are significantly different from those observed in far-fault regions.

Spectral Characterization of Himalayan Near-Fault Ground Motion
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2016 Near-Fault Ground Motion (NFGM) spectral characteristics of three moderate-sized Himalayan earthquakes, viz., the 1986 Dharamsala earthquake (Mw = 5:5), the 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake (Mw = 6:8), and the 1999 Chamoli earthquake (Mw = 6:5) have been studied from the 33 available strong ground motion recordings.

Effects of Fault Dip and Slip Rake Angles on Near-Source Ground Motions: Why Rupture Directivity Was Minimal in the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, Earthquake [PDF]
, 2004 We study how the fault dip and slip rake angles affect near-source ground velocities and displacements as faulting transitions from strike-slip motion on a vertical fault to thrust motion on a shallow-dipping fault.

GPS source solution of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake [PDF]
, 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 (
