Estimation of soil shear modulus softening during strong ground shaking using ground surface and downhole acceleration recordings.

An algorithm for estimating the average shear modulus for a soil site containing a downhole accelerometer array is described. For distant or weak earthquakes, the usual procedure for estimating shear modulus is to perform time series correlation of two downhole records. The vertical distance between...
