On 25 April 2015, a large interplate earthquake Mw 7.8 occurred in the Himalayan Range of Nepal. The focal area estimated was about 200 km long and 150 km wide, with a la [...]

On 25 April 2015, the Gorkha earthquake (M W 7.8) occurred in the Himalayan Range of Nepal. Major damage occurred in central and eastern Nepal. The focal area estimated b [...]

Kathmandu basin in the Nepal Himalaya, is filled with ~ 500 m thick fluvio-lacustrine sediment and has long been considered seismically vulnerable owing to its geo-tecton [...]

The 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake, a large (Mw=8.0) inter-plate earthquake, is the first earthquake with a magnitude of 8 after the nation wide high-density strong-motion n [...]

We examine source characteristics of intraslab earthquakes based on eleven source models estimated by the empirical Green’s function (EGF) method. The asperity source m [...]

We investigate nonlinear site response based on strong motion records form the 2003 off-Miyagi intraslab earthquake. First we identify the nonlinear site response using r [...]

We investigate source characteristics of a moderate-size intermediate-depth earthquake (MW6.4) occurring on 12 June, 2006 at a depth of about 145km in the Philippine Sea [...]

We study characteristics of long-period ground motions from the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake (Mj 8.0), a large interplate earthquake, based on spatial distribution maps an [...]

We perform regression analysis of pseudo-velocity response spectra of strong ground motions in the period range from 0.1 to 5.0 s by considering two different prediction [...]
