Abstract A comprehensive Seismic Cone Penetration Test (SCPT) database for post-glacial
sediments in Metro Vancouver is compiled to assess and establish relationships between …

A rapid and reasonable estimation of the local site shear wave velocity (V s) profile is
indispensable for site assessment. For soil deposits, researchers have developed numerous …

Recent earthquakes have revealed the vulnerability of electric power networks to seismic
events. To assess their susceptibility to seismic shaking, a user-friendly damage simulator is …

A novel probabilistic methodology for regional seismic site characterization is proposed and
applied to a region with highly heterogeneous surficial geology and varying soil sediment …

This study employs Cone Penetration Tests (CPTu) and Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) to
analyze the geotechnical properties of the Magdalena River's riverbed and banks. While …

Modern seismic risk assessment software includes seismic hazard analysis algorithms or
relies on precomputed hazard maps. In both cases, a major step is incorporating the impacts …

This paper examines the performance of shear wave velocity-standard penetration test (VS-
SPT) models and shear wave velocity-piezocone penetration test (VS-CPTU) models …

The main objective of this paper is to promotes use of shear wave velocity (Vs)
measurements from SCPTU testing as a compliment to standard CPTU data. Recent …

Over recent years, seismic losses are increasing in terms of magnitude and frequency,
thereby severely affecting societies and economies. The increase in seismic losses is mainly …

ABSTRACT A key aspect of geotechnical earthquake engineering is related to the
evaluation of the expected intensity and the dominant period of the seismic shaking at a …
