Incorporation of Forward Directivity in Near-Fault Ground Motions into Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Golafshani, Ali Akbar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Ground motions in close proximity to the causative fault of an earthquake can be significantly affected by the propagation of rupture. In particular, when the rupture and slip direction relative to a site coincide and a significant portion of the fault ruptures towards the site, the ground motion can exhibit the effects of Forward-Directivity (FD). Pulse-like near-fault ground motions resulting from directivity effects are a special class of ground motions that are challenging to characterize for seismic performance assessment. These motions contain a pulse in the velocity time history of the motion, often occurring in the direction perpendicular to the fault rupture at locations near the...
