Earthquake Spectra, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 1215-1234, May 2024.One‐dimensional (1D) site response analysis (SRA), which considers vertically propagating seismic waves from the bedrock to the surface, has been a common technique among geotechnical engineers to examine site‐specific ground shaking. However, observations from past earthquakes and analytical studies indicate that idealizations ingrained in 1D SRA may ...

Seismic microzonation of Mashhad city, northeast Iran
Annals of Geophysics, 2011 Mashhad city has a substantial risk of earthquakes due to the potential of the underlying soft soils to amplify ground motions. It is therefore imperative to conduct detailed seismic hazard assessment of the area (seismic microzonation).

Generating damping modification factors after artificial inputs in scenarios of local records scarcity [PDF]
, 2018 The damping modification factors are utilized to alter the design spectral ordinates for constructions whose damping differs significantly from 5%, this being the level that is routinely considered by most codes.

State‐of‐the‐Art Seismic Studies of Loess Tunnels in China
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Large earthquakes occur frequently around the world. Due to the fragility of loess, the effects of seismic events on loess tunnel projects have received considerable in‐depth research attention. In this paper, we systematically review recent seismic research on loess tunnels and highlight deficiencies that require further study with a focus on the ...

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Approximately 20,000 people are killed annually on average by building and infrastructure collapses and failures caused by seismic activities. In earlier times, seismic design codes and specifications set minimal requirements for life safety performance levels. Earthquakes can be thought of as recurring events in seismically active areas, with severity
