Abstract

Because of various reasons, the baseline drift in the strong motion accelerogram was often founded, especially in the near-fault accelerogram. The baseline drift could lead to the unreliable velocity and displacement obtained by the accelerogram integration without or with improper specialized baseline correction. For dealing with the problem, in the study, the various reasons causing the baseline drift in accelerogram were analyzed, the baseline correction principle and the different baseline correction methods were discussed, and the problems in the methods were pointed out.
