The Motion of the Ground in Earthquakes

Scientific American, 1977
The slippage along a fault that produces an earthquake radiates seismic waves; the manner in which these waves shake the ground bears on the design of buildings and other structures in the earthquake zones. Since seismic waves span such a broad spectrum of period and amplitude, many different kinds of instruments and experimental techniques are needed ...

Amplification of Earthquake Ground Motions by Surface Ground

2019
This chapter introduces the amplification of seismic ground motion by surface ground. A calculation method for the amplification magnification of the acceleration due to surface grounds \( G_{s} \) is presented and a concrete calculation example is shown.

Characterize Ground Motions

2016
To determine the location of an earthquake occurrence, two geometric notations, namely hypocenter and epicenter, will be introduced first. Because the majority of earthquakes are caused by the rupture of the rock along a fault or multiple faults, and thousands of square kilometers of fault plane surface may be involved in this rupture, while it is ...
