Improving seismic site response analysis for non-standard sites
… deposits. In particular, I focus on aspects of site response analysis, i.e. the modelling of the modulation of seismic waves by soil deposits. The main goal of the thesis is to improve site response analysis for "non-standard" sites, which are those for which the general assumptions of shallow …

Approaches to earthquake scenarios validation using seismic site response
… 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 following a logic-tree approach in order to consider and reduce the epistemic uncertainties. The combined use and comparison of …

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 …

An Examination of Site Response in Columbia, South Carolina: Sensitivity of Site Response to "Rock" Input Motion and the Utility of Vs(30)
This study examines the sensitivity of calculated site response in connection with alternative assumptions regarding input motions and procedures prescribed in the IBC 2000 building code, particularly the use of average shear wave velocity in the upper 30 meters as an index for engineering design …

Empirical nonlinear site response applicable to Greater Vancouver, British Columbia
… recorded to quantify expected nonlinear soil response. Earthquake horizontal to vertical spectral ratios (eHVSR) are evaluated at seismic stations located at the edges or deeper center of sedimentary basins in Mexico City, the Kanto basin and Anchorage with available weak-to-strong motion …

One-dimensional site response analyses in potentially liquefiable soil profiles
… analysis methods. Focusing on onedimensional site response of a soil column, this thesis validated a soil constitutive model using in-situ pore pressure measurements and then assessed the influence of input ground motion characteristics on soil column response using traditional and newly …

Dynamic soil modeling in site response and soil-large pile interaction analysis
… are implemented in non-linear one-dimensional site response analysis for small and large strains. The first formulation introduces an approach to construct a frequency-independent viscous damping matrix which reduces the over-damping at high frequencies, and therefore, the filtering at those …

Effects of Site Response on the Correlation Structure of Ground Motion Residuals
… analyses. This paper considers the effects of site response, at given sites, on the correlation structure of normalized residuals. This is achieved by performing site response analyses for two hypothetical soil profiles using a set of 85 rock input motions. Results show that there is no …

Seismic Site Response and Extraction of Dynamic Soil Behavior From Downhole Array Measurements
… 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 computed ground motions, and include …

Evaluation of Site Response Analysis for Vertical Ground Motions in LS-DYNA Using Geotechnical Downhole
This study was motivated by the desire to conduct site-specific vertical site response analysis. The main body of knowledge in this field is limited to horizontal shaking, as such a goal of this study was to extend that knowledge to vertical shaking. Current practice for predicting vertical ground …

Numerical simulations of site response and seismic settlements at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, Japan
… in dry sand deposits at both the free-field site and around the power plant structure components. These total and differential settlements were reported to be the main reasons for water and oil leakage, which eventually led to flooding and fire. This study focuses on three-dimensional, …

Characterization of active tectonic structures of the Etna volcano, through geophysical surveys, analysis of site response and deformation
… geophysical surveys were performed at various sites of the municipalities most affected by the fault segments presence in order to obtain information on site response. This fault system, considered as "laboratory structure", was selected for the different kinematic characteristics and different …

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 …

Sensitivity tests between Vs30 and detailed shear wave profiles using 1D and 3D site response analysis, Las Vegas Valley
Site characterization is an essential aspect of hazard analysis and the time-averaged shear-wave velocity to 30 m depth "Vs30" for site-class has become a critical parameter in site-specific and probabilistic hazard analysis. Yet, the general applicability of Vs30 can be ambiguous and much debate …

Probabilistic Site Response Analysis and Soil-Structure Interaction: A Data Science and Statistical Investigation Utilizing a Comprehensive Dataset in Japan and the US
Site response analysis (SRA) plays a crucial role in the performance-based design ofstructures subjected to earthquakes. It allows for the prediction of ground motion and the subsequent effects on structures. While the accuracy of current SRA methodologies has been the focus of much research, there …
