We have estimated ground motions at the site of a bridge collapse during the 1994
Northridge, California, earthquake. The estimated motions are based on correcting motions …

The seismic performance of Balboa Boulevard during the 1994 MW 6.7 Northridge
earthquake was examined through nonlinear deformation analyses (NDAs) using advanced …

Refraction microtremor (ReMi) and multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) are
effective approaches to estimate shallow shear-wave velocity (VS) structure often needed to …

The stochastic method for simulating strong ground motions from finite faults is applied to the
records of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake. The method involves discretization of the …

Empirical recordings of ground motions featuring large amplitudes of acceleration or velocity
play a key role in defining the maximum levels of ground motion required for the design of …

The paper focuses on the compelling evidence on site amplification of earthquake motions
accumulated in the last fifteen years or so, which resulted in recent changes in the way site …

This study describes the results of field investigations and analyses carried out on 61
corrugated metal pipes (CMP) that were shaken by the 1994 Northridge earthquake. These …

The presence of soils, geological sediments and weathered rock (collectively known as
regolith) can amplify the level of ground shaking experienced during an earthquake …

We analyze the acceleration records of a vertical array to study the linear and nonlinear
behavior of the soft soil layers at LSST site, Lotung, Taiwan. This array includes five triaxial …

The nonlinear behavior of shallow soil plays an important role in modifying surface ground
motions. We analyze the nonlinear site response at liquefiable sites using the compiled long …
