Sentence examples for sedimentary ground from inspiring English sources

Most of these stations are located on the sedimentary ground of elementary schools.

The geological map indicates that this boundary corresponds to a boundary between metamorphic rocks and sedimentary rocks on the ground surface (Fig. 2).

In deep sedimentary basins, long-period ground motions induced by large-amplitude seismic surface waves might cause damage to large-scale constructions, such as high-rise buildings and oil storage tanks (e.g., Koketsu and Miyake2008).

Anelastic attenuation of sediments is an important factor for the amplification of long-period ground motion in sedimentary basins.

It may be useful to consider the conversion of the layered structure model to a smooth depth-varying structure model when constructing a 3D velocity model of sedimentary structure for long-period ground motion simulations.

On Mars, the surrounding sedimentary rock is made of ground-up volcanic basalt like that found on the beaches of Hawaii; the Utah concretions formed within sandstone.

The second objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the surface geology on strong ground motions at soft sedimentary sites.

The UD component ground velocities at the sedimentary sites were nearly the same as those observed at the rock site KTP.

In this study, we regard this effect as crucial for a deep understanding of the characteristics of the long-period ground motions in deep sedimentary basins and try to investigate the characteristics of the spatial variation of the predominant period in association with local sedimentary basin structure.

Strong long-period ground motions in large sedimentary basins are frequently observed in the period range of 5 20 s (e.g., Miyake and Koketsu 2005; Yoshimoto and Takemura 2014; Nakamura et al. 2015).

We analyzed seismic waveforms of moderate to large shallow earthquakes recorded in the Kanto Basin, Japan, to clarify the characteristics of long-period ground motions in deep sedimentary basins.
