Characterization of forward-directivity ground motions in the near-fault region
725
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.

TL;DR: A large amount of work has been done in recent years to estimate the distribution of slip on the fault surface during earthquakes as mentioned in this paper, and these slip models are derived from longer period ground motions: strong-motion velocity and displacement, and teleseismic velocity seismograms.
A Mathematical Representation of Near-Fault Ground Motions
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple, yet effective, analytical model is proposed for the representation of near-field strong ground motions, which can be used to analyze empirical observations that are based on available near-source records.

Near‐source ground motion and its effects on flexible buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulated a Mw7.0 earthquake on a blind-thrust fault and found that flexible frame and base-isolated buildings would experience severe nonlinear behavior including the possibility of collapse at some locations.
