Ambient vibrations are nowadays considerably used worldwide for numerous types of engineering applications and scientific research. Geopsy and its companion tools are part of …
Surface wave methods gained in the past decades a primary role in many seismic projects. Specifically, they are often used to retrieve a 1D shear wave velocity model or to estimate …
The main scope of the InterPACIFIC (Intercomparison of methods for site parameter and velocity profile c haracterization) project is to assess the reliability of in-hole and surface …
A unique field experiment was performed to constrain the seismic response of a large, potentially unstable rock slope in the southern Swiss Alps. Small-aperture seismic arrays …
Abstract The SEIS (Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure) instrument onboard the InSight mission will be the first seismometer directly deployed on the surface of Mars. From studies …
Correctly accounting for the uncertainty in ground‐motion prediction is a critical component of probabilistic seismic‐hazard analysis (PSHA). This prediction is commonly achieved …
We have investigated the artificial neural network method for the derivation of physically sound, easy‐to‐handle, predictive ground‐motion models. Avoiding the specification of any …
The knowledge of the local soil structure is important for the assessment of seismic hazards. A widespread, but time-consuming technique to retrieve the parameters of the local …
This paper presents empirical correlations between amplification factors and simple site parameters derived from a large subset of the KiK-net data. The amplification factor is …
