Generation of Non-uniform support accelerations of topographic site using one recorded accelerogram

This study investigates method of producing non-uniform support acceleration in actual site condition. Factors affecting the non-uniform excitation of topographic site include time delay between the arrival time of incident wave at the canyon floor and any particular point at higher elevation, causi...
