One of the fundamental inputs to site response analysis is the characterization of the
dynamic properties of the soil, namely the shear modulus and material damping ratio …

Site response analysis is essential for seismic hazard and risk assessment and for providing
useful data for land-use planning. However, current regional site amplification models do not …

Abstract Design spectrum shape in many recent standards and codes is defined by spectral
accelerations for two periods, Ts,(~ 0.2 s) and T1,(~ 1 s), modified by multiplicative factors …

We describe the flexible multimethod seismic site characterization technique for obtaining
shear-wave velocity (VS) profiles and derivative information, such as the time-averaged VS …

Distinguishing incident wave in the downhole records is meaningful when assessing the
amplification factor of site effect. A time-domain numerical separation method for incident …

One‐dimensional site response analysis (1D SRA) remains the standard practice in
considering the effect of local soil deposits and predicting site‐specific ground motions …

Approximately 18 million people live around the Río de la Plata estuary. Being far away from
the zones of major plate boundary-related earthquakes in South America, this region is …

South Korea has implemented borehole-type seismometers for reliable earthquake
observations and earthquake early-warning systems, with approximately 85% of …

This study investigates how current practices of input ground-motion selection influence site
response analysis results and their variability, when considering different tectonic settings …

To assess the potential for important site effects, a number of approaches collectively known
as site response analyses (SRA) are constantly developed. They are also continuously …
