Characteristics of ground motions generated during an earthquake (EQ) alter between bedrock and the surface depending upon subsoil properties. Such modifications in the ground motion characteristics are termed as local site effects. Building response as well as induced effects of EQs are thus controlled by these modified ground motions at the surface. Hence, addressing the […]

While travelling through the subsoil layers, earthquake (EQ) generated bedrock motions get modified significantly due to local soil and should be quantified using ground response analysis. Present study concentrates on equivalent linear method of site response analysis in SHAKE2000 software. It is a frequency based analysis tool having default frequency set to 15Hz. While due […]
