Seismic wave amplification: Basin geometry vs soil layering. [PDF]
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2005 International audienceThe main purpose of the paper is to analyze seismic site effects in alluvial basins and to discuss the influence of the knowledge of the local geology on site amplification simulations. Wave amplification is due to a combined effect

Influence of soil properties on amplification of saturated inhomogeneous poroviscoelastic soil profile [PDF]
Građevinar, 2020 The influence of local geotechnical site conditions on the soil profile amplification is analysed in this paper by assuming that the incoming seismic waves consist of inclined P-SV waves.

Amplification of Seismic Response in Poroviscoelastic Soil Layer [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 The time-dependent behaviour of saturated soils under static and dynamic loading is generally attributed to the flow-dependent and viscous behaviour of pore fluid.

Methods for microbial DNA extraction from soil for PCR amplification [PDF]
Biological Procedures Online, 1998 Amplification of DNA from soil is often inhibited by co-purified contaminants. A rapid, inexpensive, large-scale DNA extraction method involving minimal purification has been developed that is applicable to various soil types (1).

Site-Specific Response Spectra: Guidelines for Engineering Practice
CivilEng, 2021 Code response spectrum models, which are used widely in the earthquake-resistant design of buildings, are simple to apply but they do not necessarily represent the real behavior of an earthquake.

Seismic microzonation mapping of Greater Vancouver based on various site classification metrics
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The goal of the multi-year seismic microzonation mapping project for Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is to produce seismic hazard maps inclusive of local site effects, in particular seismic hazard specific to one-dimensional site response ...

Centrifuge tests to evaluate the effect of depth of water table on seismic response of shallow foundations on silty sands [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 A set of dynamic centrifuge experiments were performed to assess the effect of the depth of the groundwater table on the seismic site response of silty sand. Silty sand was prepared in a laminar container.
