Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering Design
1.1 Introduction
Accurate predictions of seismic site response and soil-structure interaction are particularly
important for performance base design. Modern computational tools allow
advanced numerical simulations to be performed. Indeed, efficient codes have been
established for the simulations of wave propagation at the basin scale. At a different
scale, a direct evaluation of the soil-structure interaction under seismic loads is
required for assessing the performance of a single construction. In both cases, the
reliability of the result is strongly dependent on the availability of an accurate shear
wave velocity model, which has to be obtained with geophysical tests.
