Introduction
Seismic wave amplitudes increase significantly as they
pass through soft soil layers near the earth's surface.
This phenomenon is called "amplification" or "site
effects" considered an important factor that affects the
extent of damage to structures. It is crucial that the site
effect be taken into account when designing structures
on soft soils.
Introduction
The parameters of ground motion surface acceleration and
the amplification factor of a given site can be estimated by
numerical analyzes, as well as experimental tests.
Numerical analyzes require knowledge of the geometry of
all soil layers from surface to bedrock, their dynamic
properties and incidental movements. The calculation of
the seismic response of a given site by numerical analyzes
is obtained by using laws of behavior that correspond to
the nature of each soil layer (sand, clay, marl). These laws
of behavior vary from one calculation code to another and
from one type of analysis to another.

Linear approach

The linear method is used


when the amplitude of the
cyclic shear strain γc is lower
than 10-5, the behavior of the
soil around a given effective
stress state is reasonably
linear elastic. We must then
solve problems of wave
propagation in an elastic
linear and heterogeneous
environment.

Time Domain non-linear analysis
,
In non-linear analysis, the following dynamic equation of motion is
solved:
Where [M] is the mass matrix, [C] is the viscous damping matrix,
[K] is the stiffness matrix,{ü} is the vector of nodal relative
acceleration, , {ů} is the vector of nodal relative velocities and
{u} is the vector of nodal relative displacements.
is the acceleration at the base of the soil column and [I] is
the unit vector. [M] , [C] and [K] matrices are assembled using
the incremental response of the soil layers. The soil response is
obtained from a constitutive model that describes the cyclic
behavior of soil. The dynamic equilibrium equation, is solved
numerically at each time step using a time integration method
[e.g. Newmark (1959) β method].
