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 …

Develop a Greater Understanding of How and Why Surface Wave Testing Works Using

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 …

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 …

A joint inverse analysis using both microtremor dispersion curve and horizontal-to-vertical
(H/V) spectrum is proposed for estimating the S-wave velocity (VS) profiles of subsurface …

Valuable information about one-dimensional soil structures can be obtained by recording
ambient vibrations at the surface, in which the energy contribution of surface waves …
