Post-seismic investigations repeatedly indicate that structures having frequencies close to foundation soil frequencies exhibit significantly heavier damages (Caracas 196 [...]

One of the objectives of the PRENOLIN project is the assessment of uncertainties associated with non-linear simulation of 1D site effects. An international benchmark is u [...]

Data provided by accelerometric networks are important for seismic hazard assessment. They are key to derive Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs). The correct use o [...]

A key scientific component in Seismic Hazards Analysis (SHA) is the assessment of a local hazard for hard rock sites (1000 < V S30 < 3000 m/s), either for applicati [...]

The behavior of earthquake stress-drop magnitude scaling has been the topic of significant debate in the earthquake source community over the past two decades. Methodolog [...]

Given the very large length of embankments along rivers and channels, there is a need for a reliable, simple and affordable method to assess the stability of these struct [...]

It is currently admitted that the amplification factor (AF) is one of the best tools to describe site effects. AF depends on soil parameters that are derived from the geo [...]

It has been observed repeatedly in the post-earthquake investigations that buildings having frequency similar to soil frequency (coming from H/V for example) exhibit sign [...]

The term “spatial variability of seismic ground motions” denotes the differences in amplitude and phase content of seismic motions recorded over extended areas or wit [...]

The effects of spatial variation of earthquake ground motion (SVEGM) have been of great interest for a long time in the design and analysis of large and extended structur [...]
