The Seismic Dynamic Response Characteristics of the Steep Bedding Rock Slope Are Investigated Using the Hilbert–Huang Transform and Marginal Spectrum Theory by Zhuan Li, Longfei Li, Kun Huang, Lei Xue, Tong Jiang, Jinyu Dong, Chuang Wang, Hao Ding

“…The findings indicate the following: (1) The ‘elevation effect’ and ‘surface effect’ are clearly seen in the acceleration amplification factor (<i>AAF</i>) of the slope during an earthquake. The selectivity of the slope acceleration’s Fourier spectrum amplification impact indicates that the elevation amplification effect makes the high-frequency peak’s amplitude more noticeable. (2) Although the effect of the weak layer is more pronounced in the high-frequency portion, both the elevation and the weak layer affect the seismic wave’s Hilbert energy. …”
