Popis: | SUMMARY Using a complete mathematical formulation, we show that the trapping of horizontal P waves in a very soft shallow alluvial layer is a minor effect. These waves do not have a stable way of propagation since in order to exist they require an incident wave and are therefore incapable of resonating in the lateral direction when confined in a basin of limited extent. |
