The incorporation of local amplification factors (AFs) determined through site response
analyses has become standard practice in site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analysis …

One-dimensional ground response analyses (GRAs) are often used with an expectation that
they provide unbiased estimates of site effects. Under that hypothesis, epistemic uncertainty …

Non-invasive surface wave methods have become a popular alternative to traditional
invasive forms of site-characterization for inferring a site's subsurface shear wave velocity …

ABSTRACT A consistent procedure is required to deal with uncertainties in seismic hazard
studies. In particular, uncertainties in shear wave velocity (VS) profiles are important for 1D …

Many recent studies have shown that we are generally unable to accurately replicate
recorded ground motions at most borehole array sites using available subsurface …

Site‐specific seismic hazard assessment involves the prior knowledge of (1) the input
ground motion at the local bedrock and (2) the site response. In this article and its …

Common procedures used to account for spatial variability of shear wave velocity (Vs) in one-
dimensional (1D) ground response analyses (GRAs), such as stochastic randomization of …

Uncertainty associated with the soil properties inevitably affects the seismic ground
response, which is unable to be properly assessed using a deterministic seismic site …

Defining a reference shear wave velocity profile (V s) is crucial for seismic-hazard
assessment and seismic response analysis. However, selecting a reference velocity profile …

The compilation and maintenance of experimental databases are of crucial importance in all
research fields, allowing for researchers to develop and test new methodologies. In this …
