VECTOR-VALUED INTENSITY MEASURES FOR PULSE-LIKE NEAR-FAULT GROUND MOTIONS (2008, methodology): “The required distribution of pulse period as a function of magnitude has been provided by several researchers [6,7,10].”
Eurocode 8 Compliant Real Record Sets for Seismic Analysis of Structures (2008, background): “Parameters driving the amplitude of the pulses are related to the above-discussed rupture-to-site geometry, while empirical models positively correlating the earthquake’s magnitude to the period of the pulse have been proposed by seismologists [Somerville, 2003].”
Structure-Specific Scalar Intensity Measures for Near-Source and Ordinary Earthquake Ground Motions (2007, background): “To the extent that this predominant period depends in turn on M (Somerville 2003), Sa T1 may also be insufficient for near-source ground motions.”
Displacement Spectra for Long Periods (2004, methodology): “Except for a recent study dealing with the influence of the near-fault directivity on response spectra (Somerville 2003), we believe that such long-period features, depending on magnitude and distance, had not been clearly identified in previous studies and, as will be shown later, have some relevan”
