Seismograms near source fault were synthesized using the hybrid empirical Green’s func-tion method where the discretely simulated seismic waveforms are used for Green’s functions instead of the observed waveforms of...
Influences on the ground motion simulations by soil amplification effects and multiple seismic wave interfer- ences in the heterogeneous medium are investigated. Detailed velocity structure obtained from the microtrem...
