Natural hazards such as landslides, floods, rockfalls, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
sinkholes, and snow avalanches represent potential risks to our infrastructures, properties …

This paper compares measured and predicted site response at the Garner Valley Downhole
Array (GVDA) using a wide range of shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles developed from both …

This paper discusses variability and accuracy of site response predictions performed using
shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles derived from non-unique surface wave inversions and …

Uncertainty in site response analyses can be attributed to a number of parameters, including
analysis methods, input ground motions, nonlinear dynamic soil properties, and shear-wave …

Data provided by accelerometric networks are important for seismic hazard assessment. The
correct use of accelerometric signals is conditioned by the station site metadata quality (ie …

Resilience against earthquakes has become important in the current scenario, when
numerous events of seismic shaking keep on occurring, especially in regions of high …

Abstract The application of Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) technique is
increasing in geotechnical engineering to characterize near surface materials. The …

This dissertation primarily deals with the development of a new geostatistical model for the
independent management of Epistemic Uncertainties (EUs) and Aleatory Variabilities (AVs) …

Scale of fluctuations (SOFs) of spatially variable soil properties have been regarded as one
of the important parameters for performing reliability-based design in geotechnical …

The influence of local geological and geotechnical characteristics on the scale of ground
shaking during the earthquake has been well known for a long time. Typical characteristics …
