In this article, to study the effect of pulse-type near-fault earthquakes on the seismic demands of steel moment frames, 15-story 2D-frame was analyzed under the influence of 20 near-fields with forward directivity effect and 2 far-field records. The relationship between Effective Cyclic Energy, ECE and displacement demands, velocity and hysteretic curve of SDOF systems in two near- and far-fau...

This paper aimed to determine the effects of a pulse signal near-fault ground motion on dynamic response gravity dams, including dam-reservoir-foundation interaction, using different reservoir modelling approaches such as Westergaard, Lagrange, and Euler. As case study, Sarıyar concrete dam located Sakarya River, 120 km northeast Ankara, was considered for investigating ground-motion responses....

Researches have revealed that the excitations of near-fault pulse-type (NFPT) earthquakes lead to significant challenge high-speed railway. This paper mainly focuses on dynamic responses train–track–bridge coupled system (TTBCS) under NFPT ground motions. An innovative effective TTBCS model (TTBCM) considering nonlinearities supports is proposed herein, and with model, numerical simulation data...

[1] We study how heterogeneous rupture propagation affects the coherence of shear and Rayleigh Mach wavefronts radiated by supershear earthquakes. We address this question using numerical simulations of ruptures on a planar, vertical strike‐slip fault embedded in a three‐dimensional, homogeneous, linear elastic half‐space. Ruptures propagate spontaneously in accordance with a linear slip‐weaken...

contrary to the long period ground motions that can be predicted and estimated, high frequency ground motions have random character and behave stochastically. stochastic modeling methods are usually used for the modeling of high frequency ground motions where there are not strong ground motion records. stochastic methods are of two kinds: in the first one, the seismic source is considered as a ...
