Shear and Rayleigh Waves in Soil Dynamics

Abstract
Ground surface motions recorded during earthquakes reflect, to some degree, the seismic characteristics of the underlying soil layers at the recording site (15,16). In geotechnical earthquake engineering this influence of the local site conditions upon the stresses and motion within a soil profile often needs to be evaluated, e.g., in the design of nuclear power plants the design motion is commonly specified at the free surface, and then estimates of compatible motions are made at a number of specified depths [Fig. 1(a)].
