Pronounced Seismic Anisotropy in Kanto Sedimentary Basin: A Case Study of Using Dense Arrays, Ambient Noise Seismology, and Multi‐Modal Surface‐Wave Imaging

“…with V s as low as 500 m/s (Yamanaka & Yamada, 2002), result in a 6-7 s long resonance period of the basin (Denolle, Miyake, et al, 2014;Furumura & Hayakawa, 2007;Miyake & Koketsu, 2005;Viens et al, 2016;. This increases the seismic risk to high-rise buildings and oil-storage tanks of similar natural periods (Beck & Hall, 1986;Koketsu et al, 2005).…”
