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

One major cause of elastic wave attenuation in heterogeneous porous media is wave-
induced flow of the pore fluid between heterogeneities of various scales. It is believed that …

Today, surface-wave analysis is widely adopted for building near-surface S-wave velocity
models. The surface-wave method is under continuous and rapid evolution, also thanks to …

The aim of this paper is to discuss the existing scientific literature in order to gather all the
available information dealing with the origin and the nature of the ambient seismic noise …

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 …

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 Wave Analysis for Near Surface Applications presents the foundational tools
necessary to properly analyze surface waves acquired according to both active and passive …

Most seismic codes adopt the average shear-wave velocity as a key parameter in the first 30
m of subsoil (VS 30). Estimates of VS 30 are therefore required for both large-and small …
