Surface geology and geotechnical characteristics of soil deposits have a paramount
importance on ground shaking which alters the ground motion parameters. Ground …

Site response analysis evaluates the seismic response of soils to be further utilised in the
safe infrastructural design in seismic-prone areas. The conventional approach considers 30 …

Assessment of local site effect on seismic ground motion is of great importance and
recognized on the nature of earthquake damage. Local site conditions influence most of the …

Seismic site effect has been a major issue in the field of earthquake engineering due to the
large local amplification of the seismic motion. This paper presents the importance of an …

Earthquakes often cause significant human loss and infrastructural damage. Infrastructural
losses can be minimized through adopting efficient earthquake-resistant design considering …

The understanding of the amplification of seismic waves due to local soil deposits is critical
to assessing the ground-level seismic hazards in any region. In the present study, 1D non …

The influence of local geological and geotechnical characteristics on the scale of ground
shaking during the earthquake has been well known for a long time. Typical characteristics …

Site-specific ground response analysis is needed for seismic hazard estimation, and its
mitigation is required for seismically active regions of Pakistan. The work presented in the …

We present a one-dimensional non-linear ground response analysis conducted for a
specific site at Peshawar District, Pakistan. The geotechnical properties and shear wave …

Based on the soil characterization as obtained from seven boreholes, 1D ground response
analysis has been conducted for Amingaon, Guwahati, subjected to scaled strong motions …
