Near-field ground motion amplification at sedimentary basins is widely observed and crucial
to the earthquake hazard assessment. However, the effect of basin topography coupling with …

Se presenta una metodología para la evaluación de la amenaza por movimientos en masa
(tipo flujo y deslizamiento) inducidos por sismo, la cual busca compatibilizar el detonante …

The lithology of Ahvaz city is very complex due to a combination of tectonic activities, flood
plain sedimentation, and faulting. These features form subsoil of layers with different types …

Cities laying in moderate to high earthquake hazard zones, an accurate prediction of site
response is of paramount importance. The 1985 Mexico City earthquake is renowned for the …

We show theoretically what is meant by the term'(surface shape) resonance'in connection
with the seismic response of a protuberance (emerging from flat ground) such as a hill or …

In this paper, the implicit dynamic finite element method was applied to analyze the seismic
dynamic response and amplification effects of slope topography with different slope angles …

This chapter proposes nonlinear multiple degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models for city-scale
nonlinear time-history analyses in an attempt to predict seismic damage to buildings in large …

Earthquake-induced slope failure causes severe damage to infrastructure. However, current
predictive models for sliding displacement of slopes are mainly based on simple Newmark …

Para el diseno de obras de infraestructura o para la evaluación del riesgo sısmico de una
región es necesario conocer, de la manera más precisa posible, las particularidades de la …

Realistic prediction of seismic landslides is critical for performance-based design in the
seismically active regions. To date, analytical methods for estimating seismic landslides …
