On the behavior of site effects in central Mexico (the Mexican volcanic belt – MVB), based on records of shallow earthquakes that occurred in the zone between 1998 and 2011 [PDF]
The Mexican volcanic belt (MVB) is a seismogenic zone that transects the central part of Mexico with an east–west orientation. The seismic risk and hazard of this seismogenic zone has not been studied in detail due to the scarcity of instrumental data as

Progressive Layer Stripping Analysis for HVSR Interpretation
The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) technique is widely used to determine site fundamental periods from ambient noise recordings, but relating the observed peak to a specific impedance contrast within layered soils remains challenging. This paper presents an enhanced implementation of hvstrip-progressive, a Python package for forward HVSR ...

A novel and integrated geophysical approach has been applied at Cascina and Palarzano plains (Abruzzi region, Central Apennines, Italy) to investigate their subsurface structure with particular attention to the faults bounding the basins. Both plains are characterized by the highest magnetic anomaly intensity measured over the Abruzzi region (up to 10 ...

The role of slope instability on directional site effects observed at Fekruna Bay, Malta [PDF]
The Maltese Archipelago is situated in the Mediterranean Sea, about 290 km NE of Tunisia and 90 km South of Sicily. It consists of three major islands: Malta and Gozo, the southerly and northerly islands respectively, and Comino which lies in the Comino ...

The preservation of historical bridges usually requires extensive structural evaluations for possible damage detection. Therefore, effective techniques are essential for diagnosis and, consequently, proper maintenance and rehabilitation actions. The combination of techniques provides complementary data that support decision making.

1D and 2D site amplification effects at Tarcento (Friuli, NE Italy), 30years later [PDF]
A temporary accelerometer network has been installed in Tarcento (Friuli, NE Italy), a small town heavily hit by the 1976-1977 Friuli earthquake sequence, as a part of an ongoing research project aimed at ground motion simulation and generation of ...

The Central Bengkulu Regency possesses a coastline measuring 21.8 km, situated in direct proximity to the Indian Ocean. The heightened wave and ocean current dynamics possess the capacity to induce detrimental effects in the form of coastal abrasion ...

Abstract The stochastic Green's function method (SGFM), which simulates the source spectra of small earthquakes based on the ω−2 model and follows the scaling law of earthquakes to synthesize into a large earthquake, is a practical ground motion simulation method in areas lacking suitable small earthquake records.

Abstract Slope failure rates may be exacerbated by increased precipitation patterns associated with climate change. Such events are extremely disruptive for local communities affected. Rapid engineering remediation solutions generally require immediate site characterization, including information on depth to intact bedrock and groundwater conditions ...
