A novel model is constructed to investigate the coupling effect of pulse period (T p ) and peak pulse velocity (V p ) on structural demands with the varied fundamental period (T 1 ) under pulse-like ground motions. The Gaussian function is proposed to quantitatively describe the bell-shape curve of...
