This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, showing how a detailed definition of the shear-wave velocity (Vs) profile can be efficiently obtained using limited field equipment and following simple acquisition procedures. It... more
Microtremors and historical building
Test on the measurement of microtremors on soils.
Geoscience Australia is currently mapping and classifying the regolith in Perth (W.A.) for use in an earthquake risk assessment of the region. This classification is based on a combination of seismic cone penetrometer tests (SCPTs),... more
Frequency dispersion is a well-known effect in geophysics, which means that waves of different wavelengths propagate at different velocities. Amplitude dispersion is a less-known effect, which means that waves of different amplitudes... more
During the 2011 Earthquake off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku, high acceleration records with a PGA of 2.7 G were reported at the K-NET Tsukidate station (MYG004), where a maximum seismic intensity of 7 on the Japan Meteorological Agency... more
This paper presents the results of 305 single-point microtremor recordings, covering Northern Mississippi that is situatedwithin the Upper MississippiEmbayment area. Both long- and short-termrecordingswere obtained by a LE-3D/20s... more
The classical approach to analysis of microtremor array data using the Spatial AutoCorrelation (SPAC) method is to estimate surface-wave velocities from the azimuthally-averaged SPAC coherency spectrum, then invert the observed... more
SUMMARY The microtremor method (MTM) using spatial autocorrelation (SPAC) processing is a useful tool for gaining thickness and shear wave velocity (SWV) of sediments. These parameters are essential for site response modeling and regolith... more

It is a well established fact that the degree of damage due to an earthquake depends on the dynamic properties of soil and on the amplification of seismic waves. Also geologic deposits can amplify strong ground motions depending on the... more

Analysis of passive seismic (microtremor) array data using either beam-forming or the Spatial AutoCorrelation (SPAC) methods successfully establishes shear-wave velocity profiles at scales from a few metres to order 1 km depth. The SPAC... more

Detailed modelling of microtremor propagation, using shear velocities acquired from seismic cone penetrometer tests (SCPT), shows that multiple peaks in the measured H/V spectral ratio of field data can be clearly correlated with maxima... more
Romania is an earthquake prone area with a few destructive earthquakes per century. The National Institute for Earth Physics carries out the seismic survey of Romania through the Romanian National Seismic Network (RNSN) consisting of 65... more
Recording microtremor data is increasingly used in determining the site effect on earthquake ground motion especially in regions of moderate to low earthquake activity. In this study we used microtremor data to evaluate the effect of... more
In this study we investigated site amplifications in shallow soil around Tsukidate station (MYG004) of K-NET in Miyagi prefecture with a seismic intensity of 7 during the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake from aftershock... more

The single-station microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (MHVSR) method was initially proposed to retrieve the site amplification function and its resonance frequencies produced by unconsolidated sediments overlying... more

Array observations of the high-frequency microtremor wave field are a useful tool for gaining thickness and low-strain shear strength of sediments for purposes of earthquake hazard site classification. The spatial autocorrelation (SPAC)... more
The use of small circular seismic arrays rather than individual seismometers allows the method of microseismic zonation of sediment thickness and earthquake hazard to be extended, giving direct estimates of shear-wave velocity and... more
Abstract– Microtremor data have been carried out for microzonation studies and disaster mitigation in urban areas. Over a period of two decades, the Nakamura’s H/V spectral ratio method was recognized as a simple and cost effective method... more
ABSTRACT The damage induced by seismic events is well known among the civil engineering, geological and seismological community. Seismologists and geologists who study this hazard at a deeper level are concerned more with the history and... more
