1-D shear wave velocity structure is important for site effect studies and geotechnical
engineering, but it is quite difficult and expensive to derive from the conventional …

Abstract The Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) is occupied by the thick deposits of different types of
loose to dense soil due to the active sedimentation. Till date, no detailed study has been …

In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate 2D nonlinear seismic site response of a
small scale basin on typical stiff and soft soil sites in Peninsular India (PI). Six survey sites …

Active and passive seismic survey was performed in Kangra valley using three different
methods ie Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR), Multiple simulations with one …

Study aims at selecting the suitable shear modulus reduction and damping curve for broad
classification of soil, ie, rock, gravel, sand, and clay. For this purpose, surface and bedrock …

The geotechnical characterization for delineating stiffness parameters is important to aid
safe engineering foundations. The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) was …

India's growing population and extensive unscientific structures put the country at risk of
suffering major casualties during earthquakes. To make buildings more earthquake …

Representative computation of ground response parameters requires accurate information
about nonlinear dynamic behavior of the soil column, commonly incorporated in site …

The ambient noise measurements were performed at 200 sites in and around the upcoming
urban centre of Kangra Valley to derive the predominant frequency of soil. The shear‐wave …

The characterization of the sediments, down to bedrock, is very important from the
seismological point of view in order to study the possible earthquake effects (site effects) …
