27 Closure Wavelet analysis has been used to study the characteristics of several ground motions recorded during Chi-chi earthquake. Effect of site distance and site softening has been investigated. Reduction in energy and redistribution of energy contents observed. Wavelet analysis has potential of providing more insight into ground motion characteristics including the energy content in both frequency and time domain simultaneously.
