<p>The response of shallow sites, with depth to bedrock less than 100 feet, in the geologic and tectonic setting of the Eastern United States (EUS) cannot generally be captured with code-based site factors. The need to address this issue on a regional basis ...

<p>The authors have been involved with the research on the short and long-term stability of ground above these abandoned mines. In this article, they present<br />the outcomes of their studies on the dynamic characteristics of ground and amplification of ground ...

<p>Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) relate a ground-motion parameter (e.g. peak ground acceleration, PGA) to a set of explanatory variables describing the source, wave propagation path and site conditions. In the past five decades many hundreds of ...

This paper examines the consistency of seismicity and ground motion models, used for seismic hazard analysis in New Zealand, with the observations in the Canterbury earthquakes. An overview is first given of seismicity and ground motion modelling as inputs ...

A series of full scale tests have been undertaken to assess the performance of ground strengthening methods to improve seismic performance of liquefiable soils in the Christchurch area. The tests used sequences of explosive charges to simulate seismic shaking ...

This paper provides a comparison between the strong ground motions observed in the Christchurch central business district in the 4 September 2010 Mw7.1 Darfield, and 22 February 2011 Mw6.3 Christchurch earthquakes with those observed in Tokyo during the 11 ...

We compare site-specific response spectra and hazard maps from the recently-updated national seismic hazard model (2010 NSHM) and predecessor NSHM of 2002. The new model incorporates over 200 new onshore and offshore fault sources, and utilises newly-developed ...

This paper provides an overview of the salient aspects of the dense array of ground motions observed in the 4 September 2010 Darfield and 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquakes. Particular attention is given to inferred physical reasons for the observed ...

Spectra and peak ground accelerations for the assessment and rebuilding of structures in Christchurch were revised rapidly following the magnitude 6.2 earthquake on 22 February 2011. The NZS1170.5:2004 hazard factor Z for Christchurch was quickly raised from ...
