Site amplification at Avcılar, Istanbul
Tectonophysics, 2004 AvcVlar is the suburb of Istanbul that was most heavily damaged during the August 17, 1999 Mw 7.4 Izmit earthquake. Strong ground motion caused fatalities and damage in AvcVlar despite being ~90 km from the epicenter. We deployed five portable seismograph stations equipped with Reftek 24-bit recorders and L4C-3D seismometers for 2 months, in order to ...

Site amplifications for generic rock sites [PDF]
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1997 AbstractSeismic shear-wave velocity as a function of depth for generic rock sites has been estimated from borehole data and studies of crustal velocities, and these velocities have been used to compute frequency-dependent amplifications for zero attenuation for use in simulations of strong ground motion.

Horizontal seismic wave at ground surface from transfer function based on ambient noise
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Earthquake detection can be improved by ensuring that seismometer sites experience little artificial noise in the surrounding environment. To minimize noise, seismological stations should be positioned in rocky mountainous areas without nearby valleys ...

Site effects and site amplification due to the 2009 Abruzzo earthquake [PDF]
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2011 This paper presents the results of numerical analyses carried out to assess the different seismic response of two sites in the urban area of L’Aquila, selected as representative of typical subsoil conditions in the old city centre and in the recently developed suburban Pettino district.

Simulation of Spatially Variable Artificial Earthquake: A Case Study of Different Site Conditions
Modelling in Civil Environmental Engineering, 2021 The dynamic analysis of structures under seismic ground motions is a major issue in earthquake engineering. The seismic ground motions observed at the surface are variables in space and time.
