TLDR
In this article, an important aspect to include in comprehensive characterization of earthquake ground motion is the duration of the shaking, which can be represented either by an interval of time during which the motion fulfils some specified criteria or else the number of effective cycles of motion.About:

Prediction Equations for Significant Duration of Earthquake Ground Motions Considering Site and Near-Source Effects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed ground motion prediction equations for significant-duration parameters as a function of magnitude, closest site-source distance, site parameters that reflect shallow geologic conditions as well as deep basin structure, and near-source parameters.

A State-of-Knowledge Review of the Influence of Strong-Motion Duration on Structural Damage
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the literature on the influence of ground motion duration on structural damage is presented, and it is found that studies employing damage measures related to cumulative energy usually find a positive correlation between strong motion duration and structural damage, while studies employing maximum response generally do not find strong correlations between duration and damage.

Empirical Equations for the Prediction of the Significant, Bracketed, and Uniform Duration of Earthquake Ground Motion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present empirical predictive equations for a number of definitions of strong motion duration using the records from the Next Generation of Attenuation (NGA) global database of accelerograms from shallow crustal earthquakes.

A model study on the effects of input motion on the seismic behaviour of tunnels
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of input motion characteristics on seismic behavior of circular and square tunnels were investigated using dynamic centrifuge tests on model tunnels using input motions of different amplitude and frequency.

Empirical Response Spectral Attenuation Relations for Shallow Crustal Earthquakes
TL;DR: In this article, empirical response spectral attenuation relations for the average horizontal and vertical component for shallow earthquakes in active tectonic regions were derived using a database of 655 recordings from 58 earthquakes.

Earthquakes, Records, and Nonlinear Responses
TL;DR: In this article, the estimation of MDOF nonlinear structural response given an earthquake of magnitude M at distance R is studied with respect to issues such as the benefits and harms of first scaling the records, selecting records from the “wrong” magnitude, and alternative choices for how to scale the records.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of real earthquake accelerograms as input to dynamic analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines on procedures for the selection of appropriate suites of acceleration time-series for the purpose of dynamic analysis in geotechnical and structural engineering.
