Introduction

One-dimensional (1-D) time domain analysis is one of several currently available methods to evaluate the influence of local site conditions on input (i.e., bedrock) ground motions. However, this method is favored by Geotechnical Earthquake Engineers as it takes into account the unique geotechnical characteristic of a given site, including soil nonlinearity and hysteretic behavior and porewater pressure generation and dissipation. It can also be applied for a wide range of shaking intensities, and it is relatively easy to implement in practice as it is coded in commercially available software.

Through back analysis of numerous case histories, the 1-D time domain analysis has been shown to work well when analyzed soil deposits are horizontally layered, there is a significant impedance contrast within the profile, and when material (model)...
