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

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 [...]

The purpose of this study is to obtain a ''reasonable ensemble'' of one dimensional shear wave velocity models that explain an observed surface wave dispersion curve with [...]

Yutaka Nakamura (1989; [1]) popularized the application of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis of microtremor (ambient noise or vibration) recording [...]

Spatial variability of earthquake ground motion (SVEGM) refers to the differences in amplitude and phase between recordings of the same earthquake at different locations. [...]

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 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 [...]

In order to understand and predict earthquake ground motions at high frequencies, it is necessary to evaluate a superficial S-wave velocity structure. In the Grenoble bas [...]

Tehran, capital of Iran, is under the threat of large magnitude earthquakes (above 7) located on very near faults. Previous studies on the effect of local surface geology [...]
