Ground Response in Alluvial Basins Due to Seismic Disturbances.

Abstract

This summarizes the first year's accomplishments under Contract F19628-81-K-0012. Our scientific accomplishments include systematically studying four finite element basin models for SH waves and two more complex basin models for elastic waves; and modifying the two-dimensional finite element computer code for SH waves and elastic waves. The non-reflecting boundaries have been introduced in finite element modeling. The method of Effective Excitation, the relative coordinates of the nodal points, and a restart back-up capability have been introduced into the computer codes. (Author)
