heal.abstract	The Grangemouth industrial zone in Scotland is on an area of deep soft clay. Extensive site investigations related to industrial development which included seismic cone testing enabled accurate numerical calculations to be carried out to assess the response of this soft site to earthquake excitation. The site is surrounded by the permanent LOWNET seismological array, which together with a temporary seismic station at the site enabled comparison between numerical predictions and instrumental experimental evidence. The comparisons confirmed the predominance of the site dynamic response in earthquake ground surface motions. They also enabled a site-specific design response spectrum to be developed with greater confidence.	en
