The near-fault pulse-like ground motions are more dangerous for multi-story buildings with flexural behaviour than those with shear behaviour. It was observed that both the fundamental period of the structure and the lateral stiffness ratio can significantly change maximum inter-story drift demands in buildings subjected to pulse-like ground motions.
The effects of peak ground velocity (PGV), PGV/PGA, rupture distance, Arias intensity, earthquake magnitude and local site conditions on maximum inter-story drift spectra (MIDS) and distribution of the inter-story drift ratio (IDR) along the height of the multi-story buildings are evaluated. A total of 61 near-fault pulse-like ground motions are selected for this study. The multi-story buildings are modelled using a combination of a shear and flexural beams with representative lateral stiffness ratios.
