Earthquake fault-induced surface rupture A hybrid strong ground motion simulation technique and discussion for structural design.

Unique to the near-source region of a large earthquake is the occurrence of strong impulsive ground motion and surface faulting referred to as ?fling-step? motion. The objective of this study is to synthesize broad-band time histories over a wide range of frequencies by characterizing rupture direct...
