pulses, which are the most characteristic feature of near-fault strong-
motion, scale with key parameters of the specific barrier
model and may effectively be simulated using
a phenomenological
model. The key
model parameter, the local stress
drop, has been inferred from
Icelandic strong-motion data. The variations in site conditions of the recording sites have been
approximated
