Near‐surface seismic structure, particularly the shear wave velocity (Vs), can strongly affect
local site response, and should be accurately estimated for ground motion prediction during …

Earthquake site effects have a major impact on the seismic hazard. However, evaluating the
site response over a broad frequency range and with a high spatial resolution remains …

This work is a multidisciplinary approach from geological and geophysical surveys to build a
3D geological model of Argostoli Basin (Cephalonia Island, Greece) aiming to be used for …

Site-specific hazard analyses and microzonation are important products for densely
populated areas and facilities of special risk. The empirical amplification function is …

To achieve rational and precise seismic response predictions of large span spatial
structures (LSSSs), the inherent non-uniformity and multidimensionality characteristics of …

The spatial incoherence of ground motion during an earthquake can have a significant effect
on the dynamic response of engineering structures such as bridges, dams, nuclear power …

An advanced analytical technique known as the Oblique Coordinate Wave Function Integral
Method builds on Biot's wave theory for saturated porous material, has been developed to …

We analysed long (months) continuous recordings of ground motion at more than 30 sites in
Calabria (Italy) in order to investigate the relationships among background signal amplitude …

On 24 August 2016, a Mw 6.0 earthquake started a damaging seismic sequence in central
Italy. The historical center of Amatrice village reached the XI degree (MCS scale) but the …

The horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) of seismic ambient noise has been proven to
be a fast and efficient method for characterizing the 1-D resonance frequency of the local …
