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

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 …

Ambient vibration techniques such as the H/V method may have the potential to significantly
contribute to site effect evaluation, particularly in urban areas. Previous studies interpret the …

The horizontal-to-vertical (H/V) method has the potential to significantly contribute to site
effects evaluation, in particular in urban areas. Within the European project, site effects …

A field experiment with small aperture seismic arrays was performed on the unstable rock
slope above the village of Randa in the southern Swiss Alps. The aim of this experiment was …

A unique field experiment was performed to constrain the seismic response of a large,
potentially unstable rock slope in the southern Swiss Alps. Small-aperture seismic arrays …

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 …

The propagation of energy released by an earthquake through the uppermost crust has a
significant impact on the ground motion that is observed at the surface. Knowledge of this …

In the framework of the renewal project of the Swiss Strong Motion Network (SSMNet), a
procedure for site characterization has been established. The aim of the procedure was to …
