The observations about the behavior of microtremor spectra presented here show that noise
measurements can be used as a powerful tool to determine the thickness of soft cover …

During the months that followed the 17 January 1994 M 6.7 Northridge, California,
earthquake, portable digital seismic stations were deployed in the San Fernando basin to …

Having a reliable site classification scheme is vital for the development of robust strong-
motion attenuation models. We discuss a promising empirical site-classification scheme …

Seismic attenuation and the associated quality factor (Q) have long been studied in various
sub-disciplines of seismology, ranging from observational and engineering seismology to …

The objective of this work is to perform a purely empirical assessment of the actual
capabilities of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) spectral ratio technique to provide reliable and …

ModelHVSR is a user-friendly collection of Matlab® routines performing a number of tasks
related to analysis of microtremor data. Its distinguishing features include: The program may …

Abstract The Garner Valley Downhole Array (GVDA) consists of a set of seven downhole
strong-motion instruments ranging from 0-to 500-m depth. One of the objectives of this …

This paper describes the process of construction of the 2D model of Volvi's geological
structure and results of empirical and theoretical approaches to the evaluation of site …

We evaluate the usefulness of the horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) response spectral ratio as a
parameter to describe site response. In particular we compare its effectiveness with that of …

We examine differences of empirical site characteristics among S waves, P waves, coda,
and microtremors using records at 20 sites in and around the Sendai basin, Japan, and …
