Improving seismic site response analysis for non-standard sites
… occur at the basis of a structure is how the seismic waves will be affected by travelling through soil deposits near the surface. In fact, these near-surface layers act as a filter modifying (amplify/de-amplify) the input motion and leading to modified ground motions at the ground surface. …

Approaches to earthquake scenarios validation using seismic site response
A seismic hazard assessment was carried out for the Catania and Siracusa towns providing a comprehensive re-examination and re-processing of all the available seismic data. The site approach and the seismotectonic one were used and compared. The hazard assessment, using both methods, was performed …

Seismic Site Response and Extraction of Dynamic Soil Behavior From Downhole Array Measurements
… surface motions. PSHA-NL, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis with nonlinear site effects, can be used to estimate seismic hazard with the effect of deep deposits. This thesis extends the PSHA-NL procedure to incorporate a finite fault model in PSHA without applying artificial caps on …

Seismic site response of deep soil and embankments in the New Madrid Seismic Zone
… This is to be accomplished by developing new seismic design and assessment methodologies, by improving seismic retrofitting measures, and by exchanging and transferring new technologies. Four major tasks were conducted in this study: characterization of typical sites in the NMSZ, free field …

Seismic site response analysis and extraction of dynamic soil behavior and pore pressure response from downhole array measurements
Seismic site response analysis is commonly used to predict ground response due to local soil effects. Advancements in the knowledge of shear-induced excess pore pressure generation has led to the development and implementation of pore pressure response models for site response analysis with …

IMPROVEMENT OF DYNAMIC PROPERTIES AND SEISMIC RESPONSE OF CLAY USING FIBER REINFORCEMENT
… Document: IMPROVEMENT OF DYNAMIC PROPERTIES AND SEISMIC RESPONSE OF CLAY USING FIBER REINFORCEMENT Behzad Amir Faryar, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Professor M. Sherif Aggour, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering In recent years, earthquakes have caused heavy damage to …

Site Response Characteristics of Compacted Gravel Fill in Iceland
Local site conditions can greatly increase the intensity and character of earthquake shaking and, thus, the extent and type of structural damage. The removal and replacement of in-situ soils with compacted gravel-sized volcanic rock has been prevalent in the Icelandic foundation subgrade …

Cost-Savings of Implementing Site-Specific Ground Motion Response Analysis in Design of Mississippi Embayment Bridges
<p>Deep dynamic site characterization and a site-specific ground motion response analysis (SSGMRA) were conducted for a bridge site in Monette, Arkansas. The SSGMRA indicated the design acceleration response spectrum determined using the American Association of State Highway and Transportation …

Effects of Site Response on the Correlation Structure of Ground Motion Residuals
Seismic hazard analyses require an estimate of earthquake ground motions from future events. These predictions are achieved through Ground Motion Prediction Equations, which include a prediction of the median and the standard deviation of ground motion parameters. The differences between observed …
