Quantifying the 1D explainability of low-variability and poor-misfit site responses via S-wave velocity inversion for site amplification factors
One-dimensional site response analysis is widely used in seismic hazard assessment, but its explanatory capability is often considered to be limited when we have sites where existing velocity structures cannot reproduce the observed amplification characteristics. This study quantitatively evaluates the extent to which...
