Site-Dependent Amplification Functions and Response Spectra in Greece

Frequency‐dependent sites amplifications evaluated from well‐logging data in central Taiwan

“…Included also in Figure 4 are the A ( f ) vs. f functions in Greece by Klimis and Margaris [1999] and those in North America by Boore and Joyner [1997]. For Class‐C sites, the A [ f ( z )] in Greece is slightly lower (larger) than ours when f < 5 Hz ( f > 5 Hz); and the A [ f ( z )] in North America are lower (larger) than ours when f < 30 Hz ( f > 30 Hz).…”

“…The average values, with error bars, are displayed by solid symbols. Included also are the results by others for Class‐C (in solid lines) and Class‐D (in dashed lines) sites: deep blue for Boore and Joyner [1997], light blue for Klimis and Margaris [1999], and red for Sokolov et al [2004].…”

Incorporating Different Source Rupture Characteristics Into Simulations of Strong Ground Motion From the 1867, M7.0 Earthquake on the Island of Lesvos (Ne Aegean Sea, Greece)

“…In Figure 2a we plot the synthetic values as were computed for surface site conditions corresponding to rock (site category B; Margaris and Boore, 1998;Klimis et al, 1999) and in Figure 2b we plot the corresponding values after the empirical corrections for the amplification of the local geology and non-linear response of soil (Borcherdt, 1994). In general, the effect of the empirical correction to introduce the site response is rather small; however an increase in synthetic PGA values XLIII, No 4 -2139 is evident in the SE part of the island and more specifically around the Gulf of Geras and along the SE coast where the heavily damaged capital of Mytilene lies.…”

Seismic Hazard Assessment for the protection of Cultural Heritage in Greece: Methodological approaches for National and Local Scale assessment (pilot areas of Aighio, Kalamata and Heraklion)

“…More specifically a V S 30 value was assigned for each site relative to its soil conditions according to the Eurocode 8. For this value the empirical attenuation parameters and kappa values that were proposed by Margaris and Boore [1998] for soil category B and by Klimis et al [1999] for soil categories C and D were used.…”
