This dissertation primarily deals with the development of a new geostatistical model for the
independent management of Epistemic Uncertainties (EUs) and Aleatory Variabilities (AVs) …

Seismic hazard and seismic actions for the design of buildings are strongly influenced by
site response because of significant amplification expected for the specific stratigraphic and …

Dense sands subjected to earthquake shaking may not liquefy but experience differential
settlements that can cause damage or limit the serviceability of overlying structures and …

Finite element programs allow for an enhancement in the computational capabilities of
earthquake site response models. However, many finite element programs involve …

Examination of the ground records in earthquake zones contributes to more accurate
analysis of ground movements and more appropriate designs during the construction …

• Site response studies: Linear, equivalent-linear, and nonlinear analyses of 18 ground-
