Comparative Study of Seismic Ground Responses Using DEEPSOIL, SHAKE, and D-MOD for Soils of Goa, India
TL;DR: In this article, the variability in the seismic ground response is studied for various input parameters such as soil geometry, use of different shear modulus and damping curves and methods of analysis by using three software, viz. DEEPSOIL, SHAKE and D-MOD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent developments for the seismic risk assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how the application of prospecting and surveying techniques (geological surveys, drilling, down-hole, MASW) allowed a decisive improvement in the geological knowledge of the area, contributing to define the subsoil model for the purposes of seismic microzonation.

In situ assessment of soil dynamic parameters for characterizing nonlinear seismic site response using KiK-net vertical array data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used acceleration time histories data at eight KiK-net vertical arrays in Japan, recorded between January 2009 to June 2014, to analyze nonlinear seismic site response and quantitatively assess the relationships between the in situ soil dynamic parameters and the level of ground motion.

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.
