Site-Specific Zonation of Seismic Site Effects by Optimization of the Expert GIS-Based Geotechnical Information System for Western Coastal Urban Areas in South Korea

International Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2018
Earthquake-induced disasters are often more severe over soft soils than over firm soils or rocks owing to the seismic site effects related to the amplification of ground motion.

A Normalized Hysteretic Energy Spectrum for Energy-Based Seismic Design [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
To disclose the impacts of hysteretic energy (HE) demand on energy-based seismic design, this paper introduces the dimensionless parameter βEH to express the cumulative HE indirectly and establishes the βEH spectrum for energy-based seismic design. After

Evolution of Seismic Site Classification According to the Criteria in Chilean Design Codes

Applied Sciences, 2021
Design codes establish seismic site classifications to determine the seismic demand of a structure according to the response of the soil foundation under the action of earthquake ground motions; the site classification can even condition the feasibility ...

Seismic response of subway station structures under straight-down near-fault

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Given the deficiencies of knowledge on the seismic performance level of shallow-buried subway station structures in the near-fault site, the indirect boundary element method and the finite element method (IBE-FEM) integrated solution approach that ...

Indonesian inquiry: A narrative of biocultural teaching on Sulawesi Utara

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Using phenomenology, narrative inquiry and autoethnographic approaches, this study analyses a program of faculty development conducted alongside the delivery of an international field school. Through this study, we explore the value and benefits of inter‐cultural field programming and how these might serve to complement or to redress ...

Study on the extremely large seismic ground motion amplification on weak-motion seismograms from the Gongquan valley

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Ms 6.0 Changning Earthquake in 2019 caused severe damage to Gongquan Town, Sichuan. Our on-site investigation of seismic damage found that the three-dimensional topography and geological conditions of the town may have exacerbated the earthquake’s ...

GIS-based regional assessment of seismic site effects considering the spatial uncertainty of site-specific geotechnical characteristics in coastal and inland urban areas

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017
Earthquake-induced hazards are profoundly affected by site effects related to the amplification of ground motions, which are strongly influenced by site-specific geologic conditions such as soil thickness, bedrock depth and soil stiffness.

GPS source solution of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake [PDF]

, 2014
We compute a series of finite-source parameter inversions of the fault rupture of the 2004 Parkfield earthquake based on 1 Hz GPS records only. We confirm that some of the co-seismic slip at shallow depth (
