Catastrophic damages reported during an earthquake include building damages, excessive ground shaking, uneven settlements, liquefaction etc. While most of the seismic hazard studies map the probable level of ground shaking at the bedrock level, their use in assessing the above damages is very limited until the response of the local soil is also taken into […]

Destructive moderate to major earthquakes (EQs) across the globe have highlighted various possible forms and extent of damages. Subsoil properties play a vital role in controlling the actual damage scenario. Induced effects such as liquefaction and landslide are also the functions of surface ground shaking. In the present work, site response analyses based on equivalent […]

Building damages as well as induced effects of earthquake are the consequences of surface ground motion at the site. While due importance is given to the soil beneath the ground, the selection of input motion in site response studies is inadequate. Present work highlights the importance of bedrock motion upon the response of a soil […]
