Forward-directivity and fling-step effects of fault rupture generally cause large amplitude and
long-period velocity pulses in near-fault ground motions, which impose severe damages on …

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 …

Near-field records with long-period velocity pulses can be considered as a most important
factor in causing structural damage. In order to understand the effects of near-field records …

Previous studies on the inelastic displacement ratio mainly focused on the structures with
conventional hysteretic models. For the self-centering structure, a flag-shaped (FS) …

This study aims to quantify the acceleration and displacement response spectra of pulse-like
near-fault ground motions, which can be further employed to derive the seismic force …

This paper focuses on the effects of long‐period pulse of near‐fault ground motions on the
structural damage potential. Two sets of near‐fault ground motion records from Chi‐Chi …

The residual deformation is one crucial factor determining the structural safety and the
structural repair cost after earthquakes. Hence, the quantitative estimation of residual …

Strong earthquake cases of concrete gravity dams show that the foundation damage has an
important influence on the seismic response and damage characteristics of the dam body …

Abstract The M= 7.6 Jiji (Chi-Chi) earthquake, Taiwan Province, on September 21, 1999
(local time) is a thrust fault style earthquake. The empirical attenuation relations of the …

As the forward directivity and fling effect characteristics of the near-fault ground motions,
seismic response of structures in the near field of a rupturing fault can be significantly …
