Abstract Nakamura (Q Rep Railway Tech Res Inst 30: 25–33, 1989) popularized the
application of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis of microtremor …

Develop a Greater Understanding of How and Why Surface Wave Testing Works Using
examples and case studies directly drawn from the authors' experience, Surface Wave …

The main scope of the InterPACIFIC (Intercomparison of methods for site parameter and
velocity profile c haracterization) project is to assess the reliability of in-hole and surface …

During a quarter of a century, the main characteristics of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral
ratio of ambient noise HVSRN have been extensively used for site effect assessment. In …

Surface-wave dispersion analysis is widely used in geophysics to infer a shear wave
velocity model of the subsoil for a wide variety of applications. A shear-wave velocity model …

Seismic attenuation and the associated quality factor (Q) have long been studied in various
sub-disciplines of seismology, ranging from observational and engineering seismology to …

In the following sections we define first the term “seismic array” and show examples of
seismic arrays installed around the world. We then describe the theoretical basics of the …

Monitoring and understanding induced seismicity is critical in order to estimate and mitigate
seismic risk related to numerous existing and emerging techniques for natural resource …

Several methods have been proposed in the past years to extract the Rayleigh wave
ellipticity from horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios of single station ambient noise recordings …

Rayleigh wave ellipticity as a function of frequency is closely linked to underground
structure, ie, shear wave velocity profile and sediment thickness. The possibility to calculate …
