Site Response Characterization

2017
It is well recognized that the seismic response of a site is strongly dependent on the local geological and geotechnical features of the ground profile. Several approaches are available to include site response effects in the hazard assessment. They are detailed in the following paragraphs but all of them require more or less in-depth knowledge of the ...

Site Response to Vertical Earthquake Motion

Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics IV, 2008
Evaluation of ground response is one of the fundamental problems in earthquake geotechnical engineering. Current practice has tended to focus on horizontal earthquake motion and ignore the effect of vertical motion. Because of strong vertical ground motions recorded in recent earthquakes, great concern has arisen over the behavior of vertical motion ...

A test site for quantification of GPR responses

Fifth International Conferention on Ground Penetrating Radar, 1994
Expansion of the use of GPR in many areas and improved instrumentation is leading to the need for GPR data with amplitude fidelity. To be more quantitative, the factors which control amplitude must be thoroughly understood. To this end, a controlled test site has been established to address some of these problems. Targets of simple geometry were buried

Site-Dependent Seismic Response Spectra for Soft Sites

Journal of the Power Division, 1977
Different approaches are presented for developing site-dependent response spectra for soft sites where recorded historical motions are not available. Seismic response analyses were performed for a given site with an appropriate input motion to determine the site-frequency characteristics in terms of surface response spectra. These results were combined

Responsibility for Site Contamination

2012
This chapter examines the importance of including a strong liability framework in any national legislation for site contamination. It considers the elements commonly used in national liability frameworks, identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Site response effects for structures located on sand sites

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1990
Results are presented for 4 sand sites forming part of a site response study of 11 soil sites. The results are in the form of spectral accelerations and ratios, base shear coefficients, and foundation factors. They indicate that significant amplifications can be expected at sand sites, especially for low-intensity excitation. Comparisons are made with

Bone‐site‐specific responses to zoledronic acid

Oral Diseases, 2016
ObjectivesBisphosphonates are widely used to treat bone diseases such as osteoporosis. However, they may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. Here, we investigated whether in vivo exposure to bisphosphonates has a different effect on long bone and jaw osteoclasts, and on the turnover of these different bones.Materials and MethodsZoledronic acid (0.5 mg kg−1

Testing a Responsive Site

2014
Having been introduced to responsive design and some of the new features found in both CSS3 and HTML5 in Chapter 1, this chapter will look at how to test responsive sites as you work on them.

Apoplast as the site of response to environmental signals

Journal of Plant Research, 1998
When the life cycle of plants is influenced by various environmental signals, the mechanical properties of the cell wall are greatly changed. These signals also modify the levels and structure of the cell wall constituents and such modifications are supposed to be the cause of the changes in the wall mechanical properties.

Seismic Response of Liquefaction Sites

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 1997
The authors of this technical paper focus on the seismic response of liquefaction sites by evaluating the transient shear strains and strong-motion characteristics at Treasure Island during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The strain levels are used to model soil and buried pipeline deformations observed in the Marina District of San Francisco during ...
