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

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 vibrations are nowadays considerably used worldwide for numerous types of
engineering applications and scientific research. Geopsy and its companion tools are part of …

It has been widely recognized that the cross‐correlation function of ambient seismic noise
data recorded at two stations approximates to the part of Greens function between two …

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 …

Accurate ground motion prediction requires detailed site effect assessment, but in urban
areas where such assessments are most important, geotechnical surveys are difficult to …

The coda of earthquake motions and microtremors are sometimes referred to as diffuse-
wave fields. They are generated by the multiple scattering due to the complexity of the Earth …

OpenHVSR is a computer program developed in the Matlab environment, designed for the
simultaneous modeling and inversion of large Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR …

In order to evaluate the site effects on seismic ground motion and establish preventive
measures to mitigate these effects, the dynamic characterization of sites is mandatory …

Abstract The Horizontal-to-Vertical spectral ratios of microtremors (MHVR) have been
utilized as a convenient tool to extract a predominant frequency at a target site. The so …
