Detection of directivity in seismic site response from microtremor spectral analysis

Recent observations have shown that slope response to seismic shaking can be characterised by directional variations of a factor of 2–3 or larger, with maxima oriented along local topography features (e.g. maximum slope direction). This phenomenon appears influenced by slope material properties and...
