Dear Rashad

Here are below a few case studies publications over more or less the last decade, where you could find useful information (there are plenty of others, especially from Japan, Asia and latin America, other colleagues may complete the list !). As to the type of equipment, it is evolving rapidly. There was a comparative study in Guillier et al., 2008. Influence of instruments on the H/V spectral ratios of ambient vibrations, Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering 6-1, but it relates only to H/V techniques.

Hoping it will be helpful

Thank you so much Dr. Bard for your answer, and for the references and case studies that you provided. I appreciate your time and effort.
