Deriving a specific response spectrum from the site of the Algiers Grand Mosque (Algeria)

SUMMARY

The estimation of the soil seismic response at the surface can be made by several experimental methods, approximate and numerical. This study consists in using numerical simulation to determine the surface response in terms of maximum acceleration and response spectrum of soil profiles located at the site of the Grand Mosque of Algiers, taking into account the soil’s non-linearity behavior, with an equivalent linear behavior (hysteresis degradation of the shear modulus G). The responses calculated on the surface that they are amplified or de-amplified compared to the excitation at the base (earthquake of May 21, 2003 in Boumerdès) indicate the presence of the site effects and which allows the derivation of a spectrum calculation to the studied site.
