The National Research Center for Disaster Prevention has deployed some strong-motion observation arrays in the Kanto district, in order to investigate the characteristics of seismic motions modulated by a sediment. Especially, we investigated the earthquake responses of the sediment with a thickness of several kilometers by means of down-hole arrays whose maximum depths are 600 meters or more below the top of the pre-Tertary basement.<BR>As observational results, we made sure two fundamental earthquake responses of the sediment-basement system. One is due to the multiple reflections of S-waves at the sediment-basement system. The sediment is treated as a horizontally layered structure. The other is due to a series of total reflections of S-waves both at the surface and at the upper boundary of dipping basement. The train of totally reflected SH pulses generates a pseudo-Love wave.<BR>More recently, we tried to separate the source spectrum, the path effect and the site amplification by using both the deep-borehole data and the surface array data. This paper shows the relation between the site amplifications and the geological conditions, estimated by using the data obtained during the E off Chiba Pref. Earthquake of Dec. 17, 1987 (M=6.7).
