Prediction of surface ground motion based on advanced approaches is a non-trivial task at
large area. In fact, advanced approaches require a detailed geological and geotechnical …

This paper shows the experimental results of impact hammer tests conducted on sand and
composite sand-polyurethane samples at different confining pressures. It was found that …

Abstract Evaluation of bedrock stiffness and thickness effect on ground motion modification
represent a key-issue in the perspective of seismic risk reduction policy, since the maximum …

The seismic stability analysis of slopes is frequently analyzed using the method of slices
based on the pseudostatic approach. However, the time response analysis is considered to …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Soil or rock types in a region are often interpreted
qualitatively by visually comparing various geophysical properties such as seismic wave …

Ground motion modification over large areas is generally evaluated by focusing on source
effects disregarding local lithostratigraphic site conditions. Hence, amplification maps of …

In this paper, an attempt has been made to propose a generalized correlation between
shear wave velocity (Vs) and SPT-N values for all soil types for generalized depth using the …

This paper presents a new correlation between standard penetration test (SPT) N values
and shear wave velocity (V s) for a newly proposed nuclear power plant (NPP) region at …

Due to significant rainfall during the monsoon, Kerala regularly sees landslides across the
steep sloppy terrains of the Western Ghats. This causes significant harm to both man-made …

The incorporation of local site effects in seismic hazard analysis has evolved radically over
the last few decades. Initially, the whole site characterization was expressed by a single …
