Effects of Topography on 3D Seismic Ground Motion Simulation with an Application to the Valley of Aburr´a in Antioquia, Colombia
This dissertation presents a numerical scheme based upon the finite element framework for the numerical modeling of earthquake-induced ground motion in the presence of realistic topographic variations of the earths crust. We show that by adopting a non-conforming meshing scheme for the numerical rep...
