Table 4 1D EQL model parameters; the codes T1, T2, T3 and T4 refer to shear modulus reduction and damping curves estimated by laboratory testing (OYO 2020) and shown in Fig. 7

From: From ambient vibration data analysis to 1D ground-motion prediction of the Mj 5.9 and the Mj 6.5 Kumamoto earthquakes in the Kumamoto alluvial plain, Japan
