This article focuses on the characterizations of pulse-type ground motions which are mainly caused by rupture directivity. Multi-resolution analysis is employed to decompose 53 typical pulse-type records which are selected from 12 large earthquakes into a series of ground motion components. A methodology for deriving design spectra, which could incorporate the special effects caused by pulse-type records is proposed based on the bi-normalized response spectra of ground motion components, and is named as Near-Fault Response Spectrum (NFRS). Analysis results indicate that NFRS might be a reliable candidate for the code-based design spectrum especially for structures constructed close to active fault.
