The single-station microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (MHVSR) method was
initially proposed to retrieve the site amplification function and its resonance frequencies …

Risk assessment and mitigation programs have been carried out over the last decades in
the attempt to reduce transportation infrastructure downtime and post-disaster recovery …

Several recent studies of microtremor recordings have been made to investigate the spectral
ratio between the horizontal and vertical components (eg, Nakamura, 1989). In his study …

The observations about the behavior of microtremor spectra presented here show that noise
measurements can be used as a powerful tool to determine the thickness of soft cover …

New earthquake ground-motion relations for hard-rock and soil sites in eastern North
America (ena), including estimates of their aleatory uncertainty (variability) have been …

The aim of this paper is to discuss the existing scientific literature in order to gather all the
available information dealing with the origin and the nature of the ambient seismic noise …

We compare various site-response estimation techniques using after-shock data of the 1989
Loma Prieta earthquake collected in Oakland, California. Because of recent interest in …

Ambient vibration techniques such as the H/V method may have the potential to significantly
contribute to site effect evaluation, particularly in urban areas. Previous studies interpret the …

During the months that followed the 17 January 1994 M 6.7 Northridge, California,
earthquake, portable digital seismic stations were deployed in the San Fernando basin to …

Surface-wave dispersion analysis is widely used in geophysics to infer a shear wave
velocity model of the subsoil for a wide variety of applications. A shear-wave velocity model …
