Sediment-induced amplification and the collapse of the Nimitz Freeway Sediment-induced amplification and the collapse of the Nimitz Freeway
The amplification of ground motion by low-seismic-velocity surface sediments is an important factor in determining the seismic hazard specific to a given site. The Ms = 7.1 Loma Prieta earthquake of 17 October 1989 was the largest event in the contiguous United States in 37 years, and yielded an unparalleled volume of seismic data from the main shock and aftershock sequence1. These data...
