Simple approach to obtain ground amplification motion of surface soil deposits with a radical change of depth
Keyword(s):
Earthquake observations at different sites within alluvial soil deposits have demonstrated that the motion of buried underground structures closely follows that of the surrounding soil. Therefore, it is usual in a seismic design process to apply free-field ground displacements through Winkler-type soil springs to an underground structure to evaluate stress patterns induced within its structural members. Using a simplified approach, this paper provides a clear understanding of resonant horizontal ground displacement of and strain in a surface soil deposit with a radical change of depth and of where they occur.Key words: simple approach, seismic design, earthquake, resonance, underground structures.
