Parametric study of the seismic response of a hill or mountain

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

The problem of the response of a cylindrical protuberance of rectangular shape to a SH seismic plane wave is studied in parametric manner so as to provide answers to the questions: (i) where and how should one measure this response, (ii) is the normal-incidence response a valid indication of response at other incident angles of the seismic plane wave, iii) is it possible to predict the maximal response without a detailed knowledge of the subsurface composition, iv) how does the aspect ratio of the protuberance affect the resonant response, and v) is the resonant wavefield uniformly distributed in the interior of the protuberance?
