Variation of Ground Acceleration with Increase in Lateral Distance
Abstract: Ground acceleration induced by dynamic loading decreases with increasing lateral distance from the source because of wave attenuation and energy dissipation through the ground. Accurate estimation of ground acceleration at different distances is essential for evaluating the safety and performance of nearby structures, particularly in blasting, seismic, and heavy construction activities. This study presents a simplified linear attenuation model for estimating ground acceleration at greater lateral distances using limited measured …
