title: Site Effects on Strong Ground Motions
creator: Kawase, Hiroshi
subject: Path and site effects
description: Site effects play a very important role in characterizing seismic  ground motions because they may strongly amplify (or deamplify)  seismic motions at the last moment just before reaching  the surface of the ground or the basement of man-made structures.  Because of the high level of amplification caused by site  effects, which can be almost two orders of magnitude, we cannot  neglect them in engineering practice. The purpose of this  chapter is to review the essential aspects of site effects on strong  ground motions.  ...
