Site effects associated with local geological conditions constitute an important part of any
seismic hazard assessment. Many examples of catastrophic consequences of earthquakes …

The objective of this work is to perform a purely empirical assessment of the actual
capabilities of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) spectral ratio technique to provide reliable and …

We present a ground‐motion prediction equation (GMPE) for Turkey and Iran to investigate
the possible regional effects on ground‐motion amplitudes in shallow active crustal …

The paper presents an extensive review of topographic effects in seismology taking into
account the knowledge of 40 yr of scientific literature. An overview of topographic effects …

The influence of site effects on seismic demand was studied in Concepción to explain the
observed damages suffered by engineered structures during the 2010 M w 8.8 Maule, Chile …

Assessing local site effects reliably is one of the crucial aspects of seismic hazard, which
usually cause amplification of ground motions and results in increasing the damage …

Abstract The Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio from earthquake (HVSR) and from
ambient noise (HVN) recordings realistically indicate the fundamental frequency of soil …

In the framework of the SESAME project one of the tasks was the compilation of all available
ambient noise measurements within urban environments affected by historical or/and recent …

The densely populated city of Thessaloniki (Northern Greece) is situated in~ the vicinity of
active seismic faults, capable of producing moderate to strong earthquakes. The city has …

ABSTRACT A large amount of new and existing data was applied, aiming at delineating
structural seismic risk in the earthquake prone modern city of Kalamata (SW Peloponnese) …
