Due to the inherent spatial variation of the site information and the limited number of
boreholes which could be afforded in a specified project, the geotechnical and geological …

Shear wave velocity (VS) can be obtained using seismic tests, and is viewed as a
fundamental geotechnical characteristic for seismic design and seismic performance …

A seismic site classification microzonation for the city of Port-au-Prince is presented herein.
The microzonation is based on 35 shear wave velocity (VS) profiles collected throughout the …

Since the determination from experimental tests are expensive and time consuming, the site
conditions in strong ground motion equations are mostly expressed by geologically …

An integrated GIS-based tool (GTIS) was constructed to estimate site effects related to the
earthquake hazards in the Gyeongju area of Korea. To build the GTIS for the study area …

Modern seismic building design codes tend to converge on issues of design methodology
and the state-of-the-art. However, significant differences exist in basic provisions of various …

The time-averaged shear wave velocity of top 30 m (V S30) is the most commonly used
parameter to classify a site and evaluate its amplification characteristics for the seismic …

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

The site effects relating to the amplification of ground motion under earthquake loading are
strongly influenced by both the subsurface soil condition and the geologic structure. For site …

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 …
