Popis: This article discusses how to calibrate some parameters of two-dimensional finite element models for numerical analyses in geotechnical earthquake engineering. The calibration was made through the simulation of the one-dimensional vertical propagation of S-waves in elastic layers, whose theoretical solutions are available in literature. The numerical results were compared with those obtained by frequency domain analyses. The influence of several sources of damping arising in the model, including that deriving from boundary conditions and numerical integration, was investigated. The proposed calibration procedure constitutes a useful preliminary step for performing advanced dynamic analyses of any geotechnical system.
