## Abstract In the last decade, two tall buildings in Singapore were instrumented with accelerometers and anemometers for the original purpose of identifying the characteristics and effects of wind loading. During the monitoring it became clear that the largest acceleration responses should result
Ground motions a!ected by directivity focusing at near-"eld stations contain distinct pulses in acceleration, velocity, and displacement histories. For the same Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and duration of shaking, ground motions with directivity pulses can generate much higher base shears, inter-
Simulated ground motions from the M 5 6)7 Northridge earthquake and a simulated M 5 7)0 Elysian Park event are generated over a large grid of sites and used as input to mathematical models of six-storey and 20-storey steel-frame buildings. Purpose of the study is to quantify effects of strong near-s
