SEISMIC AMPLIFICATION AT A SOFT SOIL SITE WITH LIQUEFIABLE LAYER

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2000
It is well known that local soil conditions play a key role in the amplification of earthquake waves. In particular, a liquefiable shallow soil layer may produce a significant influence on ground motion during strong earthquakes. In this paper, the response of a liquefiable site during the 1995 Kobe earthquake is studied using vertical array records ...

Characterization of a Reclaimed Site and Its Seismic Vertical Amplification

Use of Geophysical Methods in Construction, 2000
In this paper an analysis is presented for the field observation of large amplification in vertical motion at a reclaimed site subjected to the 1995 Kobe earthquake. The observation is considered to be associated with the amplification of P-waves caused by incomplete saturation of shallow soils.

Nationwide frequency-dependent seismic site amplification models for Iceland [PDF]

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering
Seismic wave amplification due to localized site conditions is an important aspect of regional seismic hazard assessment. Without systematic studies of frequency-dependent site-effects during strong Icelandic earthquakes, various local site proxies of ...

Site amplification characteristics of bedrock using three reference site methods

Exploration Geophysics, 2019
ABSTRACTWith the growing interest in seismic hazards following the Gyeongju earthquake (ML 5.8; 2016), information on site amplification characteristics is essential for the effective analysis of s...

Analysis of DNA Methylation by Amplification of Intermethylated Sites (AIMS)

2009
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays a crucial role in the control of gene expression and chromosome structure in plants and mammalian cells. Multiple types of DNA fingerprinting techniques have been developed and applied to investigate DNA methylation profiles in different experimental settings.

Site amplification effect of coda waves in West Tunnan Experimental Site

Acta Seismologica Sinica, 1993
The site effect of coda waves for four types of basement under 6 stations was studied by using the local earthquakes from digital seismograph network of West Yunnan Experimental Site. Results from the band 0.75 to 24 Hz showed that the site effect was abviously interrelated with not only the frequency but also the site condition of the station.

Discrete-Time Analysis of Seismic Site Amplification

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1995
A discrete-time analysis of seismic site amplification in layered media for vertically propagating shear waves is presented. The discrete-time approach not only is simpler and more accurate than the previously suggested frequency-domain techniques but also provides better physical insight into the problem.

Preliminary assessment of site stratigraphic amplification for Shakemap processing.

2011
ShakeMap® is the most widespread software generating maps showing spatial distributions of several ground motion parameters. Non-linear relationships describing the amplification induced by site effects are fundamental ingredients to obtain reliable maps for emergency issues.

Numerical simulation of seismic site amplification effects

2013
The concept of substructure deletion proposed for the analysis of a rigid embedded foundation was adapted for the analysis of site amplification effects in alluvial valleys. A major modification was made for the present application such that the boundary integration equation method was used for both the finite size interior problem and semi-infinite ...
