Integrating Multichannel Analysis Of Surface Waves And Horizontal To Vertical Spectral Ratio Techniques For Dynamic Site Characterisation At Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

Pulau Pinang is susceptible to the effects of various forms of ground motion capable of causing damages, and an understanding of the dynamic characteristics of its soils is important for site effects estimation, especially as it concerns site amplification. The HVSR technique is a cheap and easy mea...
