Seismic microzonation in Australia

open access: yesJournal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2000
Abstract Since the 1980s seismic microzonation studies have been undertaken in Australia to assess the likely effects of earthquakes on urban centres built on unconsolidated sediments. Presently the Nakamura method is used for processing data. So far parts of Perth, Adelaide, Cairns, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Newcastle, Sydney and Launceston have been

Creating infrastructure for seismic microzonation by Geographical Information Systems (GIS): A case study in the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) [PDF]

open access: yesComputers and Geosciences, 2012
Although there are many studies for seismic microzonation in the literature, these studies have not covered the whole seismic microzonation processes. Moreover, they have not sufficiently focused on the important subjects, such as significance and use of

Incorporating results from seismic microzonation into probabilistic seismic hazard analysis: An example in western Liguria (Italy)

open access: yesEngineering Geology, 2020
This study presents a first attempt to couple two of the most important components of seismic risk mitigation strategies: probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) and seismic microzonation.

Seismic microzoning of Belgrade

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2017
Seismic microzonation maps for Belgrade (Serbia) and its surroundings are presented based on the uniform-hazard-spectrum (UHS) methodology. Such mapping must satisfy the guidelines for performance-based design (PBD), which at present requires specification of two spectral amplitudes, one for which the structure will remain essentially linear, and the ...

Methodology for automated GIS-aided seismic microzonation studies

open access: yesComputers and Geotechnics, 2008
This paper presents an automated methodology for performing geographic information system (GIS)-aided seismic microzonation studies. It presupposes the existence of a geotechnical database containing data from sampling boreholes and in situ geotechnical ...

On a Quick Seismic Microzonation of Wide Areas

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2005
In this paper a characterization of seismic site response is proposed, taking into consideration geo-morphological conditions, geotechnical and geophysical parameters such as slope, average shear-wave velocity, maximum expected acceleration on bedrock, depth of ground water table.

Seismic Microzonation of the Cassino Plain

2014
Thanks to its favourable hydrogeological conditions, Cassino is one of the most studied sites of Central Italy. More than two hundred soil borings, some of them reaching depths as high as 100 m, have revealed a subsoil characterized by a calcareous platform and post-orogenetic series forming a tectonic basin filled by lacustrine and volcanic deposits ...

The antiresonance phenomena in seismic microzonation

Earthquake Engineering. Construction Safety, 2021
The interference of incident and reflected seismic waves in the ground massif near the day surface is the cause of resonant effects. In the practice of seismic microzonation (SMZ), a resonant increase in the total seismic intensity is of particular importance.
