Abstract Nonlinear time domain site response analysis is used to capture the soil hysteretic response and nonlinearity due to medium and large ground motions. Soil damping is captured primarily through the hysteretic energy dissipating response. Viscous damp-ing, using the Rayleigh damping formulation, is often added to represent damping at very small strains where many soil models are primarily linear. The Rayleigh damping formulation results in frequency dependent damping, in contrast to exper

One-dimensional site response analysis is widely used in estimating local seismic site effects. The soil behavior in the analysis is often assumed to be independent of the rate of seismic loading. Laboratory test results, on the other hand, indicate that cyclic cohesive soil behavior is influenced by the rate of loading. Three models of rate-dependent dynamic soil behavior were derived based on available laboratory data. The models were implemented and evaluated in a modified one-dimensional equ

A new simulation‐based site amplification model for shallow sites with thickness less than 30 m in Korea is developed. The site amplification model consists of linear and nonlinear components that are developed from one‐dimensional linear and nonlinear site response analyses. A suite of measured shear wave velocity profiles is used to develop corresponding randomized profiles. A V S 30 scaled linear amplification model and a model dependent on both V S 30 and site period are developed. The propo

This report describes the development of a new one-dimensional nonlinear site response model and application of the model in probabilistic hazard analysis of the Mississippi embayment (ME) for estimation of depth dependent site coefficients.

A series of one-dimensional (1-D) site response analyses were performed using the nonlinear (NL) and equivalent linear (EQL) approaches to assess the applicability of the Vietnamese earthquake-resistance design code TCVN 9386: 2012. Six soil profiles were selected from three districts in Hanoi (Vietnam). A number of ground motions compatible with the rock design spectrum were used as input for carrying out analyses. The results highlight that the calculated response is higher than the design spe

Equivalent linear time history analyses are conducted to calculate the seismic response of various types of cut‐and‐cover single box tunnels. A finite‐element numerical model is calibrated against the results of centrifuge tests. The calculated tunnel responses compare favourably with the measurements. A validated model is then used to quantify the seismic response of box tunnels. The flexibility ratio ( F ) is illustrated to have a governing influence on the tunnel response. It is shown that th

Prediction of the site amplification is of primary importance for a site-specific seismic hazard assessment. A large suite of both empirical and simulation-based site amplification models has been proposed. Because they are conditioned on a few simplified site proxies including time-averaged shear wave velocity up to a depth of 30 m (VS30) and site period (TG), they only provide approximate estimates of the site amplification. In this study, site amplification prediction models are developed usi
