Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of forward-directivity ground motions in the near-fault region
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified parameterization is proposed based on a representative amplitude, pulse period, and number of significant pulses in the velocity-time history to estimate the peak ground velocity and period of the velocity pulse (Tv) of available forward-directivity motions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Empirical Geotechnical Seismic Site Response Procedure
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified empirically based seismic site response evaluation procedure that includes measures of the dynamic stiffness of the surficial materials and the depth to bedrock as primary parameters is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of near-fault ground motions and equivalent pulses on multi-story structures
TL;DR: In this article, the structural response of multi-story structures to near-fault ground motions, and whether structural response is dominated by the ground motion pulses present in forward-directivity ground motions were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Single-Station Standard Deviation Using the KiK-net Data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present estimates of single-station standard deviation using data from the KiK-net network, which is used as a lower bound to probabilistic seismic hazard analyses that remove the ergodic assumption on site response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Single-Station Sigma and Site-Response Characterization in a Probabilistic Seismic-Hazard Analysis for a New Nuclear Site
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-station sigma concept is proposed to remove that part of sigma corresponding to repeatable site-specific effects, where the site-to-site component must then be constrained by site−specific measurements or else modeled as epistemic uncertainty and incorporated into the modeling of site effects.
