Ground motions close to a ruptured fault resulting from forward-directivity are significantly different than other ground motions. These pulse-type motions can place severe demands on structures in the near-fault region. To aid in the characterization of these special type of ground motions, a simpl
## Abstract Damaging earthquakes feature large variations in the spatial ground motion distribution mainly due to source complexity, radiation pattern, and site conditions. In this study, we tried to capture the hanging wall and rupture directivity effects from the 1999 ChiβChi, Taiwan earthquake (
