  4. Abstract:
  5. This paper introduces an efficient stochastic method to produce fully nonstationary records having multiple peaks in power spectrum. The zero-crossing characteristics of the acceleration, velocity, and displacement time histories of the output signal are used to estimate the model parameters. This procedure is utilized to resimulate 252 non-pulse-like, horizontal near-field records with rupture distance of less than 10 km and strike–slip mechanism. The model parameters are regressed against moment magnitude, rupture distance, hypo-central depth, and shear wave velocity, enabling the scenario-based simulation of the records. The response spectra of the simulated records are compared with NGA-West2 ground motion prediction equations. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
