How to create an absorbent boundary condition in QUAKE/W?

SurekaS

I am trying to study the seismic response of slopes. Due to wave reflections, the amplification at the slope face is getting affected. Hence, I need to give absorbent boundary conditions at the lateral boundaries to absorb the wave reflections. Kindly help.

Hi,

Unfortunately, absorbent boundary conditions are not available in QUAKE/W. Please have a look at chapter 5 of the Dynamic Modelling with QUAKE/W book to learn more about the available boundary condition types in this particular GeoStudio module.
