CEEN 545 - Lecture 20 - Linear Site Response

This lecture introduces the topic of site response, which is how geotechnical engineers predict how local soil conditions will either amplify or de-amplify ground motions originating from bedrock below. We begin by introducing linear site response, which assumes that the soil is elastic linear, and its dynamic soil properties (e.g., G, vs, damping ratio) do not change with induced shear strain. The concept of a transfer function is reviewed. Transfer functions are derived for four different cases of elastic soil over bedrock.
