Dependency of Near-Field Ground Motions on the Structural Maturity of the Ruptured Faults

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2009
Little work has been undertaken to examine the role of specific long-term fault properties on earthquake ground motions. Here, we empirically examine the influence of the structural maturity of faults on the strong ground motions generated by the rupture of these faults, and we compare the influence of fault maturity to that of other source properties (

Decomposition and Effects of Pulse Components in Near-Field Ground Motions

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2010
Long-period pulse components in near-field ground motions have been known to cause significant damage to flexible structures. In this paper, an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) approach is used to identify and separate the dominant pulse, high-frequency, and long-period components in near-field ground motions.

Response of buildings to near-field pulse-like ground motions

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 1999
Ground motions affected by directivity focusing at near-field stations contain distinct pulses in acceleration, velocity, and displacement histories. For the same Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and duration of shaking, ground motions with directivity pulses can generate much higher base shears, inter-storey drifts, and roof displacements in high-rise ...

Nonlinear seismic response of mid-rise modular buildings subjected to near-field ground motions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Constructional Steel Research, 2023
In recent earthquakes, structures near seismic sources have suffered severe damage due to near-fault ground motions. When compared with ordinary ground motions, these ground motions create high demands on structures. The presence of a strong energy pulse

Response of middle-rise steel frames with and without passive dampers to near-field ground motions

open access: yesEngineering Structures, 2003
This study analyses the response of middle-rise (6-stories) steel moment-resisting frame (MRF) with rigid joints subjected to near-field ground motions and also to artificial motions based on equivalent pulses.

Stochastic model for simulation of near‐fault ground motions [PDF]

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 2017
A parameterized stochastic model of near-fault ground motion in two orthogonal horizontal directions is developed. The major characteristics of recorded near-fault ground motions are represented.

Near-Field Across-Fault Seismic Ground Motions

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2011
Abstract There are many engineering applications that require an understanding of the nature of strong ground motions adjacent to and spanning across faults. Unfortunately, such near-field observations at distances less than 100 m of fault rupture are few and incomplete.
