Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The authors thank the discusser for the attention and interests on our previous work, entitled “Seismic damage analysis due to near‐fault multipulse ground motion” (referred to as the original paper/work in the following text). To demonstrate the increased seismic demands required by multipulse ground motions compared to non‐ and single‐pulse ground motions, three cases were illustrated in the original work, including frame structures, a soil slope and a concrete dam. The discusser, Dr M.Amin Hariri‐Ardebili, raised concerns on the seismic response of the dam, together with the optimal intensity measure of ground motions. Specifically, four subissues are involved, including effectiveness of the numerical model of dam, the damage index for dam, the selection strategy for input ground motions, and the ground motion intensity measures. Detailed responses to these issues are provided. In short, the main conclusion in the original paper that the multipulse ground motions potentially cause more severe damage compared to non‐ and single‐pulse ground motions is reliable.</jats:p>
