One-Dimensional Amplification of Seismic Waves
One-Dimensional Amplification of Seismic Waves : In site effect studies a one-dimensional structure means a structure varying only in the vertical direction. It is also called a horizontally-layered structure. The amplification for incident body waves can be theoretically calculated by considering multiple transmission and reflection at each interface of horizontal layers including the free surface. There is no amplification for surface waves incident on such a structure since it is assumed to be homogeneous in the horizontal directions. See Kawase (2003)
