Prediction of the intensity of earthquake-induced motions at the ground surface attracts extensive attention from the geoscience community due to the significant threat it poses to humans and the built environment. Several factors are involved, including earthquake magnitude, epicentral distance, and local soil conditions. The local site effects, such as resonance amplification, topographic foc…
Geological and topographic site effects lead to variations in the spatial distribution of ground motion during large earthquakes. Despite the impact of such phenomena, they remain poorly understood. There is a lack of joint studies of numerical predictions and experimental observations on the geomorphological site effects. Therefore, a comparison between well-constrained models and experimental…
