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 …

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 …

Residual displacements of single‐degree‐of‐freedom systems due to ground motions with
velocity pulses or fling step displacements are presented as a function of period T and of its …

It is widely proven that in the field area near a seismic source the characteristics of the
seismic ground motion (near field) could be meaningfully different from those far from the …

Directivity is a phenomenon perceived during fault ruptures wherein the ground motion and
spectral response in the direction of the rupture is more significant than in any other …

The effects of the co-seismic static offset (known as fling step) and associated velocity pulses
on civil structures have been difficult to study because the static offset is typically removed …

The article aims to a. introduce a technique to generate long-period waveforms having fling-
step effect at near fault and b. study the effect of fling-step on the structural performance of …

With the development of performance-based seismic design, the residual displacements of
structures have become a key factor in determining the post-earthquake functionality and …

In this paper the effects of fling-step and forward-directivity on the seismic performance of
steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are addressed. Four EBFs with various numbers of …

This study investigates the effect of near-fault ground motions on the seismic fragility of base-
isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) structures. Because near-fault motion has either …
