Abstract
SUMMARY Many sites around the world may be subjected to severe distant earthquakes
alongside moderate-size, short sourceto-site distance events. The two scenarios have
different impacts on high-rise buildings and should be therefore investigated. Dubai, a
region with an exceptionally high rate of development, is vulnerable to the aforementioned
earthquake hazard scenarios. The region represents one of the most rapidly growing in
construction of tall buildings worldwide. It was therefore selected for the investigation ...
