Seismic hazard studies provide indicators of seismic motion that are expressed for “free‐
field,” that is, representative of the ground motion exactly at the free surface, without …

In this study we explore, for the first time, the correlation of the vertical site amplification with
alternative site-characterization proxies. Specifically, we use both S-and P-wave related …

The role of local geology in controlling ground motion has long been acknowledged.
Consequently, increasing attention is paid to the assessment of the geophysical properties …

Strong motion data from sites having both an instrumented structure and free-field
accelerograph are compiled to evaluate the conditions for which foundation recordings …

Earthquake strong motion recordings from 29 sites with instrumented structures and free-
field accelerographs are used to evaluate variations between foundation-level and free-field …

Anomalous or low‐quality seismic data from seismometer malfunctions or incorrect
metadata can interfere with real‐time seismic processing and degrade products provided by …

The design of important structures for earthquake resistance requires an assessment of the
local seismic hazard. One of its essential components is a site response that evaluates the …

Over the history of instrumental strong-motion recording, the largest amplitudes of ground
motions recorded to date have had a significant impact on the perception of the largest …

Modern seismic networks commonly equip a station with multiple sensors, to extend the
frequency band and the dynamic range of data recorded at the station. In addition, in our …

METHODS Each sensor was installed in the ASL underground vault (∼ 10 m of overburden)
in which the instruments were thermally isolated and background noise was recorded on …
