Seismic site characterization of the Kastelli (Kissamos) Basin in northwest Crete (Greece): Assessments using ambient noise recordings [PDF]
Crete is actively seismic and site response studies are needed for estimating local site conditions subjected to seismic activity. In order to collect basic data, we performed ambient noise recordings to estimate the site response of the surface and near

3D Shear‐Wave Velocity and Density Modeling of the Northern Cascadia Subduction Zone
Abstract In the Northern Cascadia Subduction Zone (NCSZ), we developed a new 3D model for shear‐wave velocity (VS) and density to improve seismic hazard assessments and ground motion simulations. Utilizing seismic data from the past two decades, we measure surface wave dispersion from ambient noise and earthquake recordings and inverted them for VS ...

Integration of HVSR measures and stratigraphic constraints for seismic microzonation studies: the case of Oliveri (ME) [PDF]
Because of its high seismic hazard the urban area of Oliveri has been subject of first level seismic microzonation. The town develops on a large coastal plain made of mixed fluvial/marine sediments, overlapping a complexly deformed substrate. In order to

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 ...

Generating damping modification factors after artificial inputs in scenarios of local records scarcity [PDF]
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.

Abstract Design of earth structures, such as dams, tunnels, and embankments, against the vibrational loading caused by high‐speed trains, road traffic, underground explosions, and, more importantly, earthquake motion, demands solutions of the dynamic soil–structure Interaction (SSI) problem.
