Abstract Since 1973, the General Directorate of Disaster Affairs of Turkey has deployed
several strong-motion accelerographs at selected sites. Within the framework of the project …

A new simulation-based site amplification model for shallow sites with thickness less than 30
m in Korea is developed. The site amplification model consists of linear and nonlinear …

In this article, site response analyses for 124 sites collected in Korea were performed to
evaluate earthquake ground motions in regions of shallow bedrock in Korea. Based on the …

Site amplification factors in National Building Codes are typically specified as a function of
the average shear wave velocity over the first 30 m (Vs30) or site class (A, B, C, D and E) for …

Earthquake-induced hazards are profoundly affected by site effects related to the
amplification of ground motions, which are strongly influenced by local geologic conditions …

A new site classification system and site coefficients based on local site conditions in Korea
were developed and implemented as a part of minimum design load requirements for …

Recent studies have shown that the site coefficients obtained from site response analyses of
Korean soil sites are significantly different from those specified in the current Korean seismic …

The mean shear wave velocity to a depth of 30 m (VS 30), established in the western United
States, is the current site classification criterion for determining the seismic design ground …

This study aims to evaluate the seismic hazard for cultural heritage sites based on pre-
existing seismic hazard assessments, by reflecting the damage to cultural heritage sites in …

Where a distinct soil–rock interface exists, the bedrock medium is commonly treated as
elastic half-space and the bedrock surface as the lower boundary of the soil-column model …
