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 [...]

Based on the diffuse field assumption, the Horizontal-to-Vertical spectral ratios of microtremors (MHVR) can be derived from the ratio of the imaginary part of Green’s [...]

This study focuses on S-wave velocity structures in Yangon City, Myanmar, where the construction works have been performed without thorough consideration of present threa [...]

Local site effect is one of the most important aspects in the assessment of seismic hazard and many of the destructive earthquakes in the past have shown that local site [...]

A frictional damping wall, which consists of concrete blocks and reinforcing bars, was recently proposed. In this system each element is un-bonded for future reuse and st [...]

Estimating bedrock motion is a popular method to understand the amplification characteristics of the observation site and investigate strong ground motion characteristics [...]

We investigated the characteristics of strong ground motions separated from acceleration Fourier spectra and acceleration response spectra of 5% damping calculated from w [...]

During the Hyogo-ken Nanbu earthquake of 1995 we had devastating damage to structures, especially to wooden houses. It revealed that wooden houses in Japan are not vulner [...]

For this study we used hierarchical heterogeneous source modeling procedure of Sekiguchi et al., 2008. This modelling approach is a result of compilation of many source o [...]

The city of Grenoble in the French Alps is settled on top of hundreds of meters of post-glacial sediments which cause ground motion to be significantly increased in terms [...]
