Repeated earthquakes are possible events in seismic zones. The aftershocks can grow so
large that they can be regarded as design-level earthquakes. These can affect the nonlinear …

Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) is a method which considers the inelastic
behavior of a structure for the seismic design that follows a pattern in which a pre-selected …

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 …

In the structures with high level of ductility, the earthquake energy dissipation in structural
components is an important factor that describes their seismic behavior. Since the …

This paper aimed at investigating the effect of site location versus the causative fault on the
seismic demand of structures and addressing the related parameters from different aspects …

This paper presents an analytical study to investigate the seismic demand of Steel-Plate
Shear Wall frames (SPSW) as a system for resisting lateral loads while subjected to the …

Pulse-like near-fault ground motions, which are characterized by the presence of a velocity
pulse, can impose large demands in structures, and hence can potentially increase seismic …

Reliable use of b-value in log [N (M)]= a-bM is critical in seismicity comparisons, seismic
hazard analysis, prediction and comparative mechanism studies. Since earthquakes and the …

Fling-step effect (static offset) besides forward directivity is one the major consequence of
near-fault earthquakes. This effect may impose unanticipated seismic demands on …

This study is intended to investigate the contribution of fling step to seismic demands of the
selected structures. Due to the scarcity of real data recorded at the two sides of the causative …
