Abstract The ground motions in the orientation corresponding to the strongest
pulse energy impose more serious demand on structures than that of ordinary
ground motions. Moreover, not all near-fault ground motion records present distinct
pulses in the velocity time histories. In this paper, the parameterized stochastic
model of near-fault ground motion with the strongest energy and pulse
occurrence probability is suggested, and the Monte Carlo simulation (MSC)
and subset simulation are utilized to calculate the first excursion probability of
inelastic single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems subjected to these types of
near-fault ground motion models, respectively. Firstly, the influences… More >
