This paper reviews the recent developments concerning the methods allowing the
estimation of ground shaking site effects in a particular site, as well as the main lessons …

The spectral ratio technique is a common useful way to estimate empirical transfer function
to evaluates site effects in regions of moderate to high seismicity. The purpose of this paper …

We have reviewed the applicability of microtremor measurements to evaluate site response
of soft soils. To this end, we evaluated three different techniques commonly used to estimate …

This is a review of the current state of the art in characterizing effects of local geology on
ground motion. A new horizon is clear in this aspect of strong motion studies. Non-linear …

Ten seismological stations were installed for 3 months in the city of Thessaloniki (Greece) to
record earthquakes and ambient noise over areas of different geotechnical characteristics …

Abstract Site effects in Mexico City are discussed in terms of simple 1D, one-layer, linear
models. The analysis is focussed on two parameters: dominant period and maximum …

We present a comparison between observed and predicted amplification on a topographic
feature. Our data come from an ad hoc experiment carried out during the summer of 1989, in …

The spac (Spatial autocorrelation) method to analyze ambient vibration records was
introduced by. Currently, this method is being used for the analysis of microtremor data from …

Nowadays, several research efforts have been directed towards the evaluation of the
horizontal to vertical,(h/v), spectral ratio technique, following the pioneering work of …

The city of Thessaloniki is located in northern Greece, close to a large seismogenic area and
it has experienced several destructive earthquakes during the present century. In this paper …
