Nonlinear elasticity is evidenced by the variation of the elastic properties of a system under slight strain and their recovery after loading. These characteristics have been previously …
A combined set of multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and single-station microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (MHVSR) testing was performed at over 190 …

Earthquake‐prone cities are exposed to important societal and financial losses. An important part of these losses stems from the inability to use structures as shelters or for …
The ambient vibration H/V method (Nakamura 1989) is now widely used to determine the fundamental soil frequency and has proven to be a good tool for site effect evaluation (eg …
Rapid post-earthquake damage assessment is critical to short-term earthquake crisis management. Reinforced concrete buildings may accumulate damage during an aftershock …
Resonance period is a key parameter in the seismic design of a structure, thus dynamic parameters of buildings in Beirut (Lebanon) were investigated based on ambient vibration …
Safety assessment of structures and/or critical infrastructures is a key factor in post-seismic decision-making. In this context we present a performance-based framework for modeling …
