Pulse-Period--Moment-Magnitude Relations Derived with Wavelet Analysis and their Relevance to Estimate Structural Deformations

Eleftheria Efthymiou, Nicos Makris

Motivated from the quadratic dependence of peak structural displacements to the pulse period, $T_p$, of pulse-like ground motions, this paper revisits the $T_p$--$M_{\text{W}}$ relat…
