The objective of this study is to determine the effects of near-fault ground motions with large,
medium and small pulse periods on a core-wall tall building. Three near-fault and one far …

This manuscript investigates the constant damage inelastic displacement ratios for the near-
fault pulse-like ground motions. The inelastic displacement ratios are computed for three …

Forward-directivity effects create distinct velocity pulse in the fault-normal direction of near-
fault ground motions. It has been shown that this pulse period governs the structural …

Existence of pulse at the beginning of the near-fault ground motions with forward directivity
produces substantial amount of energy in a short period of time, which may cause brittle …

This paper reports the study of the effects on structural seismic resilience of near fault pulse-
like ground motions recorded in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Some near fault pulse-like …

The behavior of base-isolated buildings under near-fault (NF) ground motions with fling-step
and forward-directivity characteristics is investigated using three-dimensional nonlinear …

The focus of this paper is the seismic response of Large Crossing Transmission Tower-line
System (LCTL) to near-fault ground motions, and whether simplified pulses are capable of …

As a part of the earthquake ground motion, large velocity pulses are probably one of the
important factors leading to serious rock structural damage and geological disasters. It is …

The catastrophic earthquake-induced failure of slopes concentrically distributed at near-fault
area, which indicated the special features of near-fault ground motions, ie horizontal pulse …

This paper focuses on the interstory drift ratio (IDR) demands of building structures
subjected to near-fault ground motions having different impulsive characteristics based on …
