Abstract In this work, we first study the peak ground accelerations (PGA), the peak ground velocities (PGV) and spectra of acceleration waveforms, based on a coordinate system defined on the focal plane of the earthquake, at nine near‐fault seismic stations along the fault trace. Results show that except for a station, near which there is a remarkable change of the fault trace, the near‐fault PGA value decreases and the PGV value increases from south to north along the fault. Although there exist variety and complexity in near‐fault acceleration spectra, some substantial conclusions can still be retrieved. The source and site effects are two major factors in controlling the variation in near‐fault acceleration spectra along the fault. The site effect acts mainly on the high‐frequency spectra, while the source effect on low‐frequency ones. For the three components, the value of the predominant frequency is, on the average, higher in the hanging wall than in the foot wall.
