In this study, 334 accelerograms of 42 small‐to‐moderate earthquakes recorded at 36
strong‐motion stations were used to investigate the ground‐motion characteristics of the …

Spectral parameter kappa (κ) is widely used to model the decay slope of the Fourier
acceleration spectrum at high frequencies. This study presents estimates of κ 0, often …

Soil nonlinear behavior is often triggered in soft sedimentary deposits subjected to strong
ground shaking and has led to catastrophic damage to civil infrastructure in many past …

We analysed 478 three-component strong ground motion time-series from 65 events in the
moment magnitude (M w) 3–6.5 range recorded at 111 stations at distances up to 150 km …

The high‐frequency decay term of the acceleration spectrum κ is a commonly used
parameter in engineering seismology. In recent years, the assumption of a linearly decaying …

The within-site variability in site response is the randomness in site response at a given site
from different earthquakes and is treated as aleatory variability in current seismic hazard/risk …

Earthquake ground motions (GMs) may display distinct characteristics in all directions within
the horizontal plane. However, the causes of GM polarization are still not fully understood …

Despite their crucial importance for marine engineering, the nonlinear seismic response
characteristics of offshore sites remain poorly understood. Consequently, simulating ground …

The high-frequency spectral-decay parameter κ has been used in the field of engineering
seismology for several decades. The zero-distance κ value (κ 0) is a site parameter in …

Site‐specific seismic hazard studies require the knowledge of the shear‐wave velocity VS
and the high‐frequency site attenuation parameter κ 0 at the reference rock level at depth …
