Under the condition of the elastic response spectral characteristics being fixed, the engineering properties of near-fault velocity pulse are studied in this paper. First [...]

The scattering of SV waves by a local nonhomogeneous body of arbitrary shape in a layered half-space is modeled using the indirect boundary element method (IBEM) in the f [...]

It has been demonstrated repeatedly that a timely macro-understanding of seismic disaster scenarios and effective emergency management always play the key roles in afters [...]
