PREDICTION OF EARTHQUAKE MOTION FOR RAILWAY STRUCTURES

This paper describes a detailed classification of ground with an emphasis placed on the response characteristics of surface layer ground. An approach for predicting surface earthquake motion based on such classification is also described. Subjects covered include ground classification based on vibration characteristics, simple assumption method for the frequency and amplification factor of first-order peak, surface acceleration, velocity and displacement, and shear strain and shear stress in the ground.
