The time delay effect is prominent for the slender structures under the action of near‐fault pulse‐like earthquake excitation. It takes time for the earthquake motion to transfer from the base to other portions of the structure. This paper proposes an explicit‐based fiber line element with its analytical framework to capture the time delay effect when excitated by earthquake motion. The object‐oriented...
