Analysis of Geological Factors Involved In The Seismic Triggering of Landslides In Kyrgyzstan. Part A: Modelling Ofground Motion Dynamics

Abstract: The destructive effects of amplified ground motions on hills or mountain crests came first to light by the analysis of structural damage distribution patterns related to strong earthquakes. In order to better understand the origin of these so-called topographical effects, many efforts were and are still spent on collecting experimental data and on numerical modelling. Much less attention has, however, been paid to the impact of topographical effects on ground failure, while links between the two are regularly reported. The following ...
