Use of Microtremors For Site Response Characterization

摘要

The primary objective of this project was to investigate the feasibility of usingmicrotremors to obtain information on the local site conditions for site specific ground motion analysis. Theoretical, numerical, and field investigations of the Circular Array technique were conducted to evaluate its potential for site investigation. The results of this study clearly indicate that the Circular Array technique can provide general information on the seismic wave propagation properties of the local site materials.
