This paper presents nonlinear seismic response analysis of canyons in layered sites. The equivalent linear method is used in the dynamic analysis and Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer transmitting boundary is added at the left and right boundaries of the computation region. It is shown through numerical examples that, soil nonlinearity has significant effect on seismic ground motion around canyons. There are differences between seismic response amplitudes in nonlinear analysis and those in linear analysis, but the differences are smaller for observation points inside canyons. There are shifts between response spectra in nonlinear analysis and those in linear analysis, but the differences are much larger for observation points inside canyons.
