Critical earthquake response of elastic-plastic structures under near-fault ground motions (Part 1: Fling-step input)

The double impulse input is introduced as a substitute of the fling-step near-fault ground motion and a closed-form solution of the elastic-plastic response of a structure by the ‘critical double impulse input’ is derived. Since only the free-vibration appears under such double impulse input, the e...
