Discussion on “Damping coefficients for near-fault ground motion response spectra”

2011

Hatzigeorgiou, George D. | Papagiannopoulos, George A.

This discussion is based on the paper by Hubbard and Mavroeidis [1]. In this paper, the authors have presented an interesting study on the effect of near-fault ground motions on the damping coefficients examining single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems. This discussion presents some comments on the results and the conclusions of that paper, which imply that some aspects need further clarification and/or improvement.
