MULTI-VARIABLE RELATIONS FOR SOIL EFFECTS ON SEISMIC GROUND MOTION (2003)

A set of approximate, multivariable relations is established to evaluate soil effects on the peak horizontal acceleration, the peak horizontal velocity and the horizontal elastic response spectra (5% damping). The basic innovation of the approach is the use of results from numerical analyses of seismic ground response instead of seismic recordings. The overall validity of the approach is verifed against seven well-documented case studies of soil amplification from the San Fernando Valley during the Northridge earthquake and various events at the SMART 1 array in Taiwan.
