Sentence examples for on site classification from inspiring English sources

At the beginning, ground-motion models typically contained a scaling parameter based on site classification (e.g. Boore et al. 1993) or presented different models for "hard rock" and "soil" sites (e.g. Campbell 1993; Sadigh et al. 1997).

The average of shear wave velocity up to 30 m depth is estimated and used for site classification based on the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program NEHRPP) classification.

This paper presents a new and efficient approach for site classification based on artificial neural networks (ANN) along with a selected set of representative horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) curves for four site classes.

The DNLs were categorized into four classes based on the site classification of the stations, which was evaluated from the well logging data by the Engineering Geological Database for TSMIP (EGDT, Kuo et al. 2011, 2012).

Concerning the former, the characteristics of seismic loading are generally derived from the code, i.e., based on very crude site classification, without specific attention to site frequency and associated amplification.

According to the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program NEHRPP) site classification (A-E), 2 sites are on soft soil (E), 11 sites on stiff soil (D), 28 sites on very dense soil/soft rock (C), and 1 site on rock (B) (Table 1).

Site classifications based on VS30 in the seismic design codes were compared with the fundamental periods and amplification values.

This approach scales site-specific seismic hazard curve analysis techniques to a regional scale evaluation by combining generally available data, including: previous landslide inventories, lidar and photogrammetric topographic data, geologic mapping, NEHRP site classifications based on shear wave velocity (VS30) measurements, and seismic hazard curves for the analysis.
