This article presents the theoretical relationship between the site amplification ratio of the
input energy spectrum for a single‐degree‐of‐freedom system (SDOF) and that of the …

The spectral velocity (SV) is necessary information in the seismic design of structures with
supplemental velocity‐dependent dampers, and it is conventionally approximated by the …

The response spectral ratio (RSR) used to construct a design spectrum that incorporates site
effects is conventionally assumed to be independent of an earthquake scenario in linear …

2450009-1 sedimentary basin in Northeastern Taiwan where hundreds of earthquake
sequences (with Mw= 4.0–7.6) were recorded by the Taiwan Strong Motion Instrument …

In both seismic design and probabilistic seismic-hazard analyses, site effects are typically
characterized as the ratio of the response spectral ordinate on the ground surface to that on …

The site fundamental period plays a key role in the characterization of site conditions to
construct design spectrum models. For layered soil profiles on bedrock, it is generally …

In ground-motion models for response spectral ordinates, site effects are typically
characterized as response spectral ratio (RSR) based on the scaling law borrowed from …

One of the important factors in the amplification of seismic waves arriving the ground surface
is site effects. Site effects, known as topographic irregularities, lead to seismic wave …
