The analysis of seismic site effects generally disregards the influence of surface structures on the free field motion in densely urbanized areas. This paper aims at investigating this particular problem called site-city interaction…
We address the problem of the response to a seismic wave of an urban site consisting of $N$ non-identical, non-equispaced blocks overlying a soft layer underlain by a hard substratum. The results of a theoretical analysis, appealing to a…
The 1985 M8.1 Mexico City earthquake marked a turning point in Mexican earthquake engineering, underscoring the influence of soft soils, subsidence, and site effects on seismic performance in the Valley of Mexico. In the four decades since,…
The proposed homogeneous flat-faced layer-like model of a city (termed overlayer), covering what is generally considered to be a dangerous site (from the point of view of seismic hazard) lends itself to an explicit theoretical analysis of…
We address the problem of the response to a seismic wave of an urban site consisting of a large and infinite number ($N\_{b}$) of identical, equispaced blocks overlying a soft layer underlain by a hard substratum. The results of the…
We study the seismic response of idealized 2D cities, constituted by non equally-spaced, non equally-sized homogenized blocks anchored in a soft layer overlying a hard half space. The blocks and soft layer are occupied by dissipative media.…
We show, essentially by theoretical means, that for a site with the chosen simple geometry and mechanical properties (horizontal, homogeneous, soft viscoelastic layer of infinite lateral extent overlying, and in welded contact with, a…
We outline some recent research advances on the control of elastic waves in thin and thick plates, that have occurred since the large scale experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 133901, 2014] that demonstrated significant interaction of surface…
The paper explores the linear and nonlinear dynamic interaction between the reactor and the auxiliary buildings of a Nuclear Power Plant, aiming to evaluate the effect of the auxiliary building on the seismic response of crucial components…
During the last twenty years, a number of publications of theoretical-numerical nature have appeared which come to the apparently-reassuring conclusion that seismic motion on the ground in cities is smaller than what this motion would be in…
This study tries to develop new attenuation relationships of peak ground velocity using machine learning methods; random forest and neural network. In order to compare with the predictors obtained by machine learning, we have also…
We study a model for the so called "city effect" in which an earthquake can be locally enhanced by the collective response of tall buildings in a large city. We use a set of equations coupling vibrations in buildings to motion under the…
We endeavor to assess site response exploiting ambient noise measurements which we carried out at 70 sites in different parts of Shillong City, one of the seismically active regions. We estimate the spectral ratio from these recordings. The…
Site-Net is a transformer architecture that models the periodic crystal structures of inorganic materials as a labelled point set of atoms and relies entirely on global self-attention and geometric information to guide learning. Site-Net…
The Earthquake Network research project implements a crowdsourced earthquake early warning system based on smartphones. Smartphones, which are made available by the global population, exploit the Internet connection to report a signal to a…
This paper presents a comparative analysis of structural seismic responses under two types of ground motion inputs: (i) synthetic motions generated by stochastic spectral-compatible ground motion models and (ii) recorded motions from an…
A novel geomechanics concept is presented for studying the behavior of geomaterials and structures by capturing the underlying dynamics as realistically as possible for earthquake excitation applied in time domain. Enormous amount of…
An interesting example for collective decision making is the so-called Mexican wave during which the spectators in a stadium leap to their feet with their arms up and then sit down again following those to their left (right) with a small…
The analysis of strong motion recordings in structures is crucial to understand the damaging process during earthquakes. A very precise time-frequency representation, the reassigned smoothed pseudo-Wigner-Ville method, allowed us to follow…
Echoes of the Land is an interactive installation that transforms seismic dynamics into a multisensory experience through a scientifically grounded spring-block model. Simulating earthquake recurrence and self-organized criticality, the…
