- Seismologists have demonstrated that the seismic ground motion is strongly affected by the presence of buildings. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has rarely been considered in seismic engineering, leading to seismic codes for practitioners that do not consider the fundamental interaction between urban area and soil. This research is significant because it develops for the first time a methodology to predict the actual seismic ground motion in urban areas. By combining soil-structure interaction approaches with stochastic methods, a novel ground motion model has been established to better estimate the structural response in urban areas. This research underpinned a successful AHRC proposal (AH/R007934/1).
