We developed a ground-motion simulation code base on extended rupture modeling combined with the use of empirical Green's functions (EGFs), adapted for low-to-moderate seismicity regions (with a limited set of EGFs), and extended its range of applicability to the lowest source-to-site distances. This code is based on a kinematic source...

One of the objectives of the PRENOLIN project is the assessment of uncertainties associated with non-linear simulation of 1D site effects. An international benchmark is underway to test several numerical codes computing the non-linear seismic site response, including various non-linear soil constitutive models. The preliminary verification...

ABSTRACT. The seismic margins assessment of the nuclear plants is a priority for the whole nuclear community, further enhanced since the Tohoku Japan earthquake in 2011. In this framework a 5 years research project called SINAPS@ (Earthquake and 9ème Colloque National AFPS 2015 – IFSTTAR 2 Nuclear Plants: Ensuring and Sustaining Safety) is...
