Mapping the uncertainty in modulus reduction and damping curves onto the uncertainty of site amplification functions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a procedure to separately calculate the contribution of uncertainty in modulus reduction and damping curves to the total uncertainty in the site amplification factors for a site, which is illustrated in an application for a seismic hazard and risk assessment of the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands.

Predictive model for normalized shear modulus of cohesive soils
TL;DR: In this paper, a radial basis function (RBF) neural network model was developed to predict normalized shear modulus of cohesive soils, where the most important factors that affect this parameter include effective confining pressure, shear strain, and plasticity index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inducing in situ, nonlinear soil response applying an active source
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed a large, surface vibrator as a source and measured the nonlinear behavior of the soil by incrementally increasing the source amplitude over a range of frequencies and monitoring changes in the output spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epistemic Uncertainty in Site Response as Derived from One-Dimensional Ground Response Analyses
TL;DR: One-dimensional ground response analyses (GRAs) are often used with the expectation that they provide unbiased estimates of site effects as discussed by the authors, however, under that hypothesis, epistemic uncertainty in site...

Moduli and Damping Factors for Dynamic Analyses of Cohesionless Soils
TL;DR: In this article, a simple relationship is proposed to relate the shear modulus of a cohesionless soil to a modulus stiffness coefficient, which is a soil property and depends on the characteristics of the soil, and the effective mean principal stress at any point in the soil.
