The 2011 Tohoku, Japan earthquake of Mw9.0 produced many strong motion records. The records provide a unique opportunity to examine site amplifications in strong shaking [...]

In order to develop empirical ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) applicable to Bogota, Colombia, average shear wave velocity upper 30m (Vs30) -based site amplific [...]

Rapidly quantifying extent and severity of building damage is a high priority in an aftermath of a large earthquake. In this study, a semi-automated damage detection tech [...]

Nonlinear behavior of soil response is discussed using the strong-motion records from recent Japanese earthquakes. During the 2004 Niigata-ken-chuetsu (MJ 6.8), the 2007 [...]

This paper examines seismic behavior of office furniture in an upper floor of high-rise buildings due to long-period ground motions by shaking table tests and simulations [...]

In order to obtain a detailed map of site amplification factors for strong motion prediction, the 50m-mesh engineering geomorphologic classification map is estimated usin [...]
