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

Application of Single-Station Sigma and Site-Response Characterization in a Probabilistic Seismic-Hazard Analysis for a New Nuclear Site [PDF]
, 2014 Aleatory variability in ground-motion prediction, represented by the standard deviation (sigma) of a ground-motion prediction equation, exerts a very strong influence on the results of probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis (PSHA).

High-resolution characterization of near-surface structures by surface-wave inversions: From dispersion curve to full waveform [PDF]
, 2019 Surface waves are widely used in near-surface geophysics and provide a non-invasive way to determine near-surface structures. By extracting and inverting dispersion curves to obtain local 1D S-wave velocity profiles, multichannel analysis of surface ...

Revista Brasileira de Geofísica, 2012 This paper presents results from the MASW method (multichannel analysis of surface waves) in a hill side area of unsaturated soils in the Ubatuba City,Brazil, a site where numerous mass movements have occurred. It discusses the influence of some acquisition parameters, such as, the natural frequency of geophones and minimum and maximum offsets in ...
