Amplification of earthquake ground motion by steep topographic irregularities.

The problem of amplification of seismic waves by surface topographic irregularities is addressed through analytical and numerical investigations. First, a closed form expression for estimating the fundamental vibration frequency of homogeneous triangular mountains is obtained, using Rayleigh's...
