Taheri, H and Beitollahi, A (2010) Proposed enhanced spectra for near-fault regions using forward directivity records. International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment, 1(3), pp. 334-343. ISSN 1759-5916
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a proper tool for structural analysis and designing in near-fault regions where the level of earthquake hazard is more and its nature is different from far-field regions. Design/methodology/approach: The paper uses near-fault records and pulse extraction using wavelet analysis and designs a spectra concept. Findings: The paper developed a proper design spectra for near-fault structural analysis and design. Originality/value: This paper using pulse extraction for developing a 3D response spectrum with paying attention to earthquake magnitude is new and final design spectra proposed is valuable.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
