TY - JOUR AB - Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to develop a proper tool for structural analysis and designing in near‐fault regions where the level of earthquake hazard is more and its nature is different from far‐field regions.Design/methodology/approach– The paper uses near‐fault records and pulse extraction using wavelet analysis and designs a spectra concept.Findings– The paper developed a proper design spectra for near‐fault structural analysis and design.Originality/value– This paper using pulse extraction for developing a 3D response spectrum with paying attention to earthquake magnitude is new and final design spectra proposed is valuable.
