This paper reviews the recent developments concerning the methods allowing the
estimation of ground shaking site effects in a particular site, as well as the main lessons …

The observations about the behavior of microtremor spectra presented here show that noise
measurements can be used as a powerful tool to determine the thickness of soft cover …

We have reviewed the applicability of microtremor measurements to evaluate site response
of soft soils. To this end, we evaluated three different techniques commonly used to estimate …

We compare various site-response estimation techniques using after-shock data of the 1989
Loma Prieta earthquake collected in Oakland, California. Because of recent interest in …

For over thirty years, attempts have been made to gain information about sediment
amplification during earthquakes from observations of ambient seismic noise. While the …

In this study, we present predictive models for significant ground‐motion duration from
interplate and intermediate‐depth intraslab earthquakes at Mexico City for the horizontal …

Abstract Site effects in Mexico City are discussed in terms of simple 1D, one-layer, linear
models. The analysis is focussed on two parameters: dominant period and maximum …

Since the installation of an extensive digital strong motion array by Fundación Javier Barros
Sierra in 1987 three moderate earthquakes have been recorded by the array and by the …

Built-up on top of ancient lake deposits, Mexico City experiences some of the largest seismic
site effects worldwide. Besides the extreme amplification of seismic waves, duration of …

We compare microtremor data to weak-motion S-wave and coda recordings at sites in San
Francisco in order to clarify the range of applicability of microtremor data to ground-motion …
