We are testing three different approaches to assess the site effects based on 1D soil column data. The first method follows the Eurocodes 8 (EC8) approach based on the determination of Vs30 soil classes, the second one is based on an empirical relationship between Vs30 and the fundamental resonance frequency of the site (f0) with a response...

The impact of non-linear soil behavior on site response may be described by the non-linear to linear site response ratio RSRNL introduced in Régnier et al. (2013). This ratio most often exhibits a typical shape with an amplitude above one below a site-specific frequency fNL, and an amplitude below one beyond fNL. This paper presents an...

This article investigates the effects of the nonlinear behavior of soils on site response, through various earthquake recordings from the KiK-net database in Japan. This network is composed of more than 688 surface–borehole instruments, from which a characterization of the shear- and compressive-wave velocity profiles down to the borehole depth...
