In this paper evaluating strong motion recordings and the patterns of damage at sites with known geological and geotechnical conditions, has shown that very stiff soils and soft rocks present different horizontal accelerations unlike the US and the European ...

<p>GPS technology with high sampling rates allows scientifically justified and economically feasible dynamic measurements of relative displacements. In this paper is described an experiment whereby the displacement responses of a simulated tall building are ...

<p>The prescribed motion to be used as base excitation for shear wave propagation studies in soils is not well defined in the literature. This paper utilizes two methods to investigate the concept of utilizing one-half the rock surface velocity as the incident ...
