  2. 26. On the Application of Surface Wave Surveys for Seismic Site Response Evaluation

    Author : Edwin Obando; Teknisk geologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Surface wave; MASW; seismic site response; ground motion; seismic transfer functions; shear wave velocity; site amplification; walk-away; near-field effect; dispersion curve.;

    Abstract : In sites where earthquakes occur, the use of surface wave methods represents a convenient and effective procedure for soil characterization. In particular, Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) has become a popular tool in many seismic micro-zoning projects. READ MORE

  4. 27. Analyses and Application of Ambient Seismic Noise in Sweden : Source, Interferometry, Tomography

    Author : Hamzeh Sadeghisorkhani; Ólafur Gudmundsson; Ari Tryggvason; Roland Roberts; Frederik Tilmann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seismic interferometry; Ambient noise; Surface wave; Wave propagation; Inverse theory; Sweden; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Abstract : Ambient seismic noise from generation to its application for determination of sub-surface velocity structures is analyzed using continuous data recordings from the Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN). The fundamental aim of the thesis is to investigate the applicability of precise velocity measurements from ambient noise data. READ MORE

  5. 28. Geophysical Studies Bearing on the Origin of the Arctic Basin

    Author : Nina Lebedeva-Ivanova; Christopher Juhlin; David Gee; Ruth Jackson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : refraction seismic; reflection seismic; crustal structure; Arctic Ocean; Amerasia Basin.; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Abstract : Deep troughs and ridges of the Arctic Basin are some of the least known features of the Earth's crust. Some of the ridges, eg. Chukchi and Nordwind, are connected directly to the continental shelves and are certainly submarine promontories of the latter. READ MORE

  6. 29. Laboratory Seismic Testing of Asphalt Concrete

    Author : Anders Gudmarsson; Nils Rydén; Björn Birgisson; Hervé Di Bendetto; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Nondestructive laboratory seismic testing to characterize the complex modulus and Poisson’s ratio of asphalt concrete is presented in this thesis. These material properties are directly related to pavement quality and the dynamic Young’s modulus is used in thickness design of pavements. READ MORE

  7. 30. Location and Relocation of Seismic Sources

    Author : Ka Lok Li; Ólafur Gudmundsson; Roland Roberts; Ari Tryggvason; Lars Ottemöller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earthquake location; Earthquake relocation; Tremor location; Bayesian inversion; Correlation; Earthquake catalog; Iceland; Seismicity; Interferometry; Inverse theory; Volcanic tremor; Geofysik med inriktning mot seismologi; Geophysics with specialization in Seismology;

    Abstract : This dissertation is a comprehensive summary of four papers on the development and application of new strategies for locating tremor and relocating events in earthquake catalogs.In the first paper, two new strategies for relocating events in a catalog are introduced. READ MORE
