Numerical analysis of local geology effects on ground motion prediction

The present work places itself within the framework of the French research project SINAPS (Seismes et Installations Nucleaires, Ameliorer et Preserver la Surete) managed by the National Research Agency under the program Future Investments (SINAPS@ reference No.ANR-11-RSNR-0022). This project has been initiated by the members of the institute SEISM (https://www.institut-seism.fr/en/) after the nuclear disaster of Fukushima (Japan, 2011). It aims to enhance the scientific background in the area of the nuclear safety and radiation protection. The project contains different work packages. Our present work is part of the work package "Non-Linear Sites Effects and Soil-Structure Interaction".
