ABSTRACT
Airports play a crucial role in mitigation of seismic-induced disasters, being key elements
in rescue operations after an earthquake. Under earthquake loading, various airport compo-
nents can be damaged because of the ground shaking. It is well known that seismic ampli-
fication of ground motion at the surface is strongly influenced by geotechnical properties of
the soil deposits. In this paper, the spatial variability of ground amplification is assessed with
reference to an international airport in Northern Italy. Homogeneous zones from a seismic
geotechnical viewpoint were identified at the airport and, for each zone, stochastic ground
response analyses carried out.
