On Earthquake Ground Motion and Structural Response inAlluvial

This paper is concerned with the problem of soil ampliication and structural damage due to local site conditions in sedimentary valleys during earthquakes. It focuses on a small valley in Kirovakan, for which one dimensional (1D) wave propagation analyses have failed to provide adequate answers for the large extent and spatial distribution of damage during the 1988 Armenia Earthquake. A more re...

Earthquake Ground Motion

Influence of Local Soil Conditions on Ground Response and Damage Pattern Due to Earthquake

The Earthquake of January 26, 2001 of magnitude 7.6 on Richter scale has resulted in more than 25,000 fatalities and wide spread damage in India and SouthEast lower part of Sindh, Pakistan. The Intensity of this earthquake was felt from severe to minor near the epicenter and areas within 400 km radius. It has been reported that severe damage has occurred to mid to high-rise buildings in the cit...

2D analysis of earthquake ground motion in Haifa Bay, Israel

We study the earthquake response of the Zevulun Valley basin, underlying northern Israel‘s largest urban area with two-dimensional viscoelastic seismic modeling of a detailed geological section. We found that amplification of the horizontal vibrations, the ratio of basin to no-basin response spectra, correlates with basin depth. In the deepest portion of the basin (Qishon graben) long periods (...
