CONSIDERATION OF SITE EFFECT IN NEAR FIELD STRONG GROUND MOTION

 PDF CONSIDERATION OF SITE EFFECT IN NEAR FIELD STRONG GROUND MOTION   Authors:[ Mohammad DAVOODI ] - Assistant Professor, International Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Seismology, Tehran, Iran,[ Seyed Saeed ZOLFAGHARI ] - Research Associate in Department of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering,IIEES,Tehran,Iran   Abstract: Accelerograms recorded near active faults have some important characteristics that make them different from those recorded in far-fault regions. High-frequency components in acceleration records and longperiod velocity pulses are among notable specifications of such ground motions. Moreover recent investigations about site effect indicate seismic hazards during many disastrous earthquakes are observed to be aggravating at the sites with the soft ...
