Modeling of soil reaction for seismic microzoning of building sites
Journal Title: Геофизический журнал - Year 2015, Vol 37, Issue 6
Abstract
Protection against destructive earthquakes requires the reliable data on the behavior of soil during earthquakes. The methods of determination of resonance properties of the upper part of the geological environment section for the building site for the needs of earthquake engineering are discussed in this paper. The development of scientific views on the linear and nonlinear models of the geological environment are analyzes. The theoretical background of linear equivalent linear and nonlinear modeling of soil response to seismic effects of earthquakes is considered. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods and the criteria for their applicability are analyzes. Also we presented and analyzed the results of a linear, equivalent linear and nonlinear modeling of the reaction of real ground layer under the actual construction site in Kiev on different levels of earthquakes.

Magma Chamber Associated to Deep Faults in Copahue Active Volcanic Complex, South America, Suggested by Magnetotelluric Study
Magnetotelluric studies were carried out in 1993 and 2008 inside the caldera of Copahue Volcanic Complex, located in South America, at the border between Chile and Argentina (37°45ʹ S; 71°10.2ʹ W). The main effusive cent...
Detecting thin layer by using different seismic geophones and special processing technique at an archaeological site in Southeastern China
The properties of geophones are important factors for high-resolution seismic exploration and have great influence on data quality. In this study we will address the problems of ultra-shallow seismic data acquisition and...
On plotting the scheme of fracture-mega-block tectonics of the Ukrainian Shield in a scale 1:500 000
The main principles have been proposed for discussion on composing the Scheme of fracrture-mega-block tectonics of the Ukrainian Shield in a scale 1 : 500 000 supported by a decision of Inter-departmental tectonic commit...
Heterogeneous structure of the lithosphere in the Black Sea from a multidisciplinary analysis of geophysical fields
Magnetic, gravity, geothermal, seismic and tomographic data from the lithosphere were first jointly examined. A multidisciplinary interpretation has resulted in a new and consistent model for lithospheric density, magnet...
