Ground response analyses (GRAs) represent a key element for the non-ergodic (site- specific) evaluation of the seismic hazard. In this respect, epistemic uncertainties and …
The ground response to seismic waves is governed by the geometry and the mechanical properties of the site. A proper characterization of the soil behavior is thus a fundamental …
Kappa (κr), the high-frequency spectral decay parameter, has been gaining popularity in the engineering seismology field for more than forty years, but it was not until recently that κr has …
The effects of local soil conditions on the intensity of earthquake ground motions have long been recognized. Numerical modeling of site effects, known as site response, requires the …
