seismic site response induced by a sedimentary basin: 1d and 2d numerical analysis

Nowadays, the influence of the site and geological conditions, especially in the sedimentary basins, is quite obvious on the characteristics of the input motion and the distribution of their damage. the existence of various effective factors in calculating the seismic response of sedimentary basins such as topography features and the characteristics of sedimentarylayers and the combination of these factors together will create uncertainties in this subject, which can be explained only by an accurate evaluation of specific site study (singh et al., 1981).
