AN OVERVIEW OF THE TECHNIQUE FOR SEISMICITY MICROZONATION MAPPING OF THE ULAN‐UDE CITY TERRITORY

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
For purposes of seismicity microzonation of the Ulan‐Ude city territory, engineering geophysical studies are conducted to reveal which types of rocks and soils are dominant in the study area and to classify them by site‐specific velocities of P‐ and S ...

D.S.I.R. microzoning programme

open access: yesBulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1969
It has long been known that variations in soil type can produce differences of several steps of intensity on the Modified Mercalli scale in different parts of an area experiencing the same basic earthquake vibration. Some magnification of the amplitude of earthquake vibration is caused by the lower acoustic impedance of poor soil, and further effects ...

Integration of HVSR measures and stratigraphic constraints for seismic microzonation studies: the case of Oliveri (ME) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Because of its high seismic hazard the urban area of Oliveri has been subject of first level seismic microzonation. The town develops on a large coastal plain made of mixed fluvial/marine sediments, overlapping a complexly deformed substrate. In order to

Seismic hazard microzonation of Bengkulu City, Indonesia

open access: yesGeoenvironmental Disasters, 2021
It has been known that Bengkulu City (Indonesia) is vulnerable to undergo seismic damage. This study is initiated by measuring horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (H/V) to sites in Bengkulu City using microtremor. The inversion analysis is performed to

Generating damping modification factors after artificial inputs in scenarios of local records scarcity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The damping modification factors are utilized to alter the design spectral ordinates for constructions whose damping differs significantly from 5%, this being the level that is routinely considered by most codes.
