In earthquake engineering, the approximation of site amplification by using practical ways has been an important issue. Various site parameters were proposed and applied in the engineering practice. Among these, time ...

Strong ground motion estimation tools such as empirical ground motion prediction equations rely mostly on recorded data. Good quality strong motion data became available mostly in recent years and are still sparse for near ...

Previous research indicates that, shear force demand in yielding walls are not proportional to the design moments calculated by code procedures and higher shear force demands develop along the wall with respect to code ...
