Study on the applicability of the microtremor HVSR method to support seismic microzonation in the town of Idrija (W Slovenia) [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
The town of Idrija is located in an area with an increased seismic hazard in W Slovenia and is partly built on alluvial sediments or artificial mining and smelting deposits which can amplify seismic ground motion.

An overview of the technique for seismicity microzonation mapping of the Ulan-Ude city territory

Geodynamics & Tectonophysics, 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‐waves and amplitude‐frequency characteristics.

Microzonation Study on the Western Area of Napoli [PDF]

, 2016
A rational evaluation of the seismic risk of urban areas cannot neglect the variability of the ground motion due to site amplification and the induced effects, such as soil liquefaction and slope stability.

Analysis of Local Site Effects in the Međimurje Region (North Croatia) and Its Consequences Related to Historical and Recent Earthquakes

Remote Sensing, 2022
The Međimurje region (North Croatia), situated between the Drava and Mura rivers with a slightly elevated hilly area, can be generally characterized as a low-seismicity area.

Seismic microzoning of the Delhi metropolitan area, India—II: Hazard computation and zoning maps

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, 2022
AbstractWe present seismic microzonation maps of New Delhi, India, using the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) method with input seismic activity parameters estimated in Part‐I of this two‐part paper. Our calculations required three different attenuation equations for amplitude scaling of strong ground motion from three principal ...

Development of a Seismic Microzoning Map for Lima City and Callao, Peru

Journal of Disaster Research, 2014
The location of Lima city and El Callao in the Pacific coast and the long history of seismic activity were the main reasons to develop a seismic microzoning map. The microzoning study was based on large numbers of geotechnical and geophysical exploration points distributed around the study area.

Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Development of seismic microzonation maps using geographic information systems (GIS) for Banda Aceh City, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2010
The location of Banda Aceh which lies about 100km from Sumatra Subduction Zone and very close to the Sumatran Transform Faults which is about 10km makes this place extremely vulnerable to earthquake hazards. Learning from the experience of earthquake and

Microzonation models for Montreal with respect to Vs30 [PDF]

, 2015
International audienceThe development of seismic microzonation maps is now a prerequisite for performing advanced seismic hazards and seismic risk assessments in urban areas. Current microzonation procedures are based on classifying site response in soil
