Journal ArticleDOI
Wave scattering from a step change in surface topography
TL;DR: In this article, Finite-difference calculations have been performed for the simple case of vertically incident SV and P waves impinging on a step change in surface elevation, and they predict scattered Rayleigh waves with amplitudes as large as 0.4 times the amplitude of the surface motion of the incident waves in the absence of any topographic relief.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some Observations on Colocated and Closely Spaced Strong Ground- Motion Records of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, Earthquake
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the A-800 and A-900A accelerograph data from the 20 September 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquake (Mw 7.6).
Journal ArticleDOI
On Baseline Corrections and Uncertainty in Response Spectrafor Baseline Variations Commonly Encounteredin Digital Accelerograph Records
Sinan Akkar,David M. Boore +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo procedure was used to derive a suite of baseline-corrected accelerations for each noise model using records from the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake and several earthquakes in Turkey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing Shear-Wave Velocity Profiles From Inversion of Surface-Wave Phase Velocities with Downhole Measurements: Systematic Differences Between the CXW Method and Downhole Measurements at Six USC Strong-Motion Sites
David M. Boore,Leo Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a blind comparison of surface-wave and borehole measurements at the same site is presented, showing that the determination of the shear-wave velocity profile by the two methods were done independently of one another.
