The paper is devoted to the problem of numerical modeling earthquake response porous saturated soil deposits seismic waves propagation. Site-specific analysis a necessary and important component hazard assessment. Accounting for complex structure soils, i.e., content in them, addition solid matrix, pore water, gas mixture ice, especially water areas zones continuous or sparse permafrost, as wel...

Shear-wave velocity is an indication of the shear strength of the ground since the velocity is related to the shear modulus. Therefore, monitoring the velocities is useful for site characterization and disaster prevention. We estimate the time-lapse change in shear-wave velocity as well as shear-wave splitting in the shallow subsurface throughout Japan by applying seismic interferometry to the ...

Methods of site response analysis require theoretical and empirical testing and validation before they can be used in seismic hazard assessment. Comparison of site amplification function (SAF) calculated using earthquake data recorded by seismic arrays with SAF obtained using analytical approaches represent the most important tests of reliability of those methods. The Treasure Island (TI) downh...

the effect of underground cavities in site seismic response was studied over the subway tunnels that are under construction in the city of karaj, using ambient noise measurements as well as numerical modeling. the idea for this research comes from the observation of differences in experimental site transfer function, calculated on more than 100 locations of the city, for the areas near the unde...

SoilEngineering is a user-friendly, interactive Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program for the geotechnical and geophysical analysis of soils. The influence of soil behavior on earthquake characteristics and/or structural design is one of the major elements in investigating earthquake forces, and thus the structural response with static and dynamic loads. With its interactive nature, the program p...

Earthquake disasters can cause enormous social and economic damage, therefore the sustainability of infrastructure requires mitigation earthquake consequences. In seismic design infrastructures, it is essential to estimate response site during earthquake. Geotechnical engineers have developed quantitative methods for analyzing ground response. This study proposes a multilayer perceptron (MLP) m...

There are a number of parameters influencing the dynamic and seismic response of bridges. Of these, two important parameters warranting special notice include: the properties of the neoperenes in the state of connection between girders and columns and the shear stiffness of underlying soil in the level of bridge substructure’s connectivity to the ground. In &#10this paper, the effects of these ...

Site amplification factors at period ranges of 0.1-0.2, 0.2-0.3, 0.3-0.5, 0.5-1, 1-2, and 2-10 s were determined for 27 stations of KiKnet and K-NET in and around the source area of the 2008 Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake. The ratio of the geometric mean values of the two maximum horizontal amplitudes of acceleration and velocity at the uphole to that at the downhole is considered as the ampli...
