Abstract:S U M M A R YThe purpose of this note is to contribute to the understanding of seismic ground motion in Mexico City. To this end, we (1) compute theoretical transfer functions for various models for the deep structure and the shallow clay layers, (2) study the seismic responses of various sites within the city using spectral ratios (of horizontal motion relative to the motion of nearby rock sites and relative to the vertical motion at the same site) and (3) discuss some characteristics of surface waves for mod… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
