Some properties of electromagnetic metamaterials have been translated, using some wave analogies, to surface seismic wave control in sedimentary soils structured at the meter scale. Two large scale experiments performed in 2012 near the French cities of Grenoble [Brule et al., PRL 112, 133901, 2014] and Lyon [Brule et al., Sci. Rep. 7, 18066, 2017] have confirmed the usefulness of this methodology and its potential influence on soil-structure interaction. We present here a new perspective on…
