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 …

Near-fault ground motion records from two different earthquakes, the 21 September 1999 Jiji
(Chi-Chi), Taiwan, earthquake and 17 January 1994 Northridge earthquake, are selected as …

The behavior of base-isolated building frame is investigated with the help of a numerical
study for far-field and near-field earthquakes with directivity and fling-step effects. Both …

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 …

Seismic response of structures in the vicinity of causative earthquake faults can be
significantly different than those observed further away from the seismic source. In the near …

Performance of base-isolated buildings subjected to near-fault ground motions containing
long-period pulses is of increasing concern, because these ground motions have the …

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 …

Near‐fault (NF) ground motion having forward directivity and far‐fault (FF) earthquakes can
generate different responses on tall reinforced concrete cantilever walls. In this paper, the …

Fling‐step and forward directivity are the major consequences of near‐fault ground motions
as they can impose unexpected seismic demands on structures located in the vicinity of the …

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 …
