Engineering seismology is the link between earth sciences and engineering. The main input
of engineering seismology in engineering design are loading conditions which must satisfy …

The magnitude recommendations adopted by the IASPEI Assembly at Zürich in 1967 have
had both a stabilizing and a stimulating effect on magnitude determinations and related …

We have taken advantage of the recent increase in strong-motion data at close distances to
derive new attenuation relations for peak horizontal acceleration and velocity. This new …

This is a review of the current state of the art in characterizing effects of local geology on
ground motion. A new horizon is clear in this aspect of strong motion studies. Non-linear …

The spatial variation of seismic ground motions denotes the differences in the seismic time
histories at various locations on the ground surface. This text focuses on the spatial …

A wide-band source spectrum scaling law is derived from various data sources; its main
features are: a lack of similitude and two characteristic frequencies of about 0.2 and 5–10 …

Over the past four or five decades many advances have been made in earthquake ground-
motion prediction and a variety of procedures have been proposed. Some of these …

The states-of-practice for performing remedial ground densification and evaluating
earthquake liquefaction potential of loose saturated sands have evolved relatively …

Nine hundred fifty-seven maximum zero-to-peak Wood-Anderson amplitudes A (synthesized
or recorded) from 40 horizontal-component seismographs (20 sites) with 0≲ Δ≲ 400 km for …

The average velocity of shear waves in the top 30m of soil, νL, has become the parameter
used by many engineering design codes and most recently by published empirical-scaling …
