[ 1 ] - Mathematical Modeling of Strong Ground Velocity Pulses using Spectral Decomposition and Forward Directivity Effects

Introduction The nature of near-field earthquake records is very complicated and uncertain. Due to this complexity, the prediction of the real structural responses has become very difficult. Based on the analysis of the physical characteristics of near-field records, it is possible to use the simplified mathematical models. Near-field ground motions which are often associated with a progressiv...
