Introduction
An accurate estimation of seismic ground motion plays an important role, in order to realize rational countermeasures against an earthquake disaster. This review focuses on seismic ground response analysis above engineering bedrock. As has been pointed out, in a large earthquake, a local concentration of seismic ground motion due to complex ground structure often results in inducing severe damage to structures (e.g., see Liang and Sun (2000) for a review of relationships between complex ground structures and damage to structures). Although many countermeasures have been implemented, there remain sites in which local concentration of ground motion takes place; for example, a concentration of earthquake ground motion due to the complex ground structure caused severe damage to a buried gas pipeline network in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake (Advisory...
