SUMMARY A seismic hazard assessment of Bangkok is conducted. The results are
presented in the form of predicted peak ground accelerations for various levels of probability …

Soil amplification characteristics of earthquake ground motion were investigated in terms of
peak ground acceleration and transfer function based on the Chiba array observation …

Simple approximate expressions are derived for estimating equivalent modal parameters of
a single soft‐soil layer that has a straight line distribution of shear wave velocities and is on …

This paper gives a brief description of the damage to the public water supply pipelines in the
