The single-station microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (MHVSR) method was
initially proposed to retrieve the site amplification function and its resonance frequencies …

Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) has received increasing attention in many
disciplines in recent years. However, there are still issues with this method, which require …

The applicability of foreign ground‐motion prediction equations (GMPE s) for predicting
geometric‐mean pseudospectral acceleration amplitudes from active shallow crustal …

The 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence began with the 4 September 2010, Mw7.
1 Darfield earthquake and includes up to ten events that induced liquefaction. Most notably …

This paper summarizes developed guidance on the utilization of earthquake-induced
ground motion simulations for engineering practice. Attention is given to the necessary …

A time-averaged 30-m-depth shear wave velocity (VS 30) map is developed for New
Zealand as a weighted combination of a geology-based and a terrain-based model. A …

Ground motion simulation validation is an important and necessary task toward establishing
the efficacy of physics-based ground motion simulations for seismic hazard analysis and …

The criteria for zoning the surface fault rupture hazard (SFRH) along thrust faults are defined
by analysing the characteristics of the areas of coseismic surface faulting in thrust …

Abstract The New Zealand Strong Motion Database provides a wealth of new strong motion
data for engineering applications. In order to utilise these data in ground motion prediction …

This study examines the influence of soil aging on Standard Penetration Test (SPT) N-Vs
correlations, and seismic site classification. Energy-corrected SPT-Vs correlations are …
