This paper summarizes the results of a study that is to evaluate the structural response attributes of near‐fault ground motion. Ground motion recordings from the Chi‐Chi earthquake are used as inputs to the structural system. An improved nonlinear hysteretic model, based on the experimental study, was used to calculate the response of the single degree‐of‐freedom inelastic system. Comparison of the results of analysis with traditional elastic–perfect plastic mode calculations was made. Discussions on the inelastic design spectrum, particularly the code‐specified base shear coefficients, using the improved nonlinear hysteretic model incorporated with the near‐fault input ground motion are made.
