Microzonation in Wind Engineering

Journal of the Structural Division, 1979
The writers indicate a direction for the improvement of the wind design of structures. The direction involves the extension of previous wind speed mapping procedures to incorporate local meteorological conditions in the development of a wind speed map for a local geographic region.

Cluster Analysis to Support Microzonation Studies

Proceedings, 2015
In recent times the use of microtremor techniques for subsoil investigation increased significantly. The use of HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio)technique for seismic microzoning studies allows in many case to obtain detailed reconstruction of the roof of the seismic bedrock and to identify areas with similar seismic behaviour. Two different

Update of the Seismic Microzonation Map of Lima and Callao, Peru

Journal of Disaster Research
Lima City and Callao Province are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire and have experienced major earthquakes over the years. To understand the seismic response of the soil, a seismic microzonation study was developed, taking into account the results of ...

Positive Correlation between DYFI Intensity Data and Microzonation Site Classes for Ottawa, Quebec City, and the Metropolitan Area of Montreal

Seismological Research Letters, 2022
At the local scale, seismic risk is often poorly estimated when considering equal hazard values across any given community. Indeed, past damaging earthquakes have shown that site conditions, which may amplify or deamplify ground shaking, have an ...

Earthquake Microzoning from Soil Properties

Earthquake Spectra, 1993
The extent of damage caused by an earthquake in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1968 to buildings erected on a variety of regoliths and foundation materials is correlated with the thickness of the regolith, the depth to the water table and semi-quantitative parameters derived from soil profile descriptions, particularly related to soil type and soil ...

Microzonation for Urban Planning

2009
Microzonation is identification of areas having different earthquake hazard potentials and will primarily serve for urban planning and land use management. The two principal factors controlling earthquake loss are site response and structural features.
