Structural response spectra for different soil condition under earthquake loading

The extent or degree of damage due to earthquake depends very much on the response of ground and structure to earthquake loading. One of the main concerns with respect to ground response to earthquake loading is seismic wave amplification. Seismic wave amplification causes large accelerations to be...
