Seismic Microzonation of the Cassino Plain
2014Thanks 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 ...

Seismic microzonation in Australia
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2000Abstract 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

Seismic Microzonation using 6C Measurements
2020<p>Microzonation is one of the essential tools in seismology to mitigate earthquake damage by estimating the near surface velocity structure and developing land usage plans and intelligent building design. The number of microzonation studies increased in the last few years as induced seismicity becomes more relevant, even in low ...

Seismic Microzonation for Refinement of Seismic Load Parameters
Power Technology and Engineering, 2016Functional dependencies are established for the characteristics of seismic transients recorded at various points of a studied site, which are used to propose a new approach to seismic microzonation (SMZ) that enables the creation of new SMZ maps of strong seismic motion, with due regard for dynamic parameters of recorded transients during weak ...

The antiresonance phenomena in seismic microzonation
Earthquake Engineering. Construction Safety, 2021The 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.

Seismic Microzonation: A Case Study
2006The major purpose of seismic microzonation is to offer urban planners and city officials some guidelines to mitigate earthquake risk. For this purpose, a seismic microzonation study was conducted for the Silivri Municipality in Istanbul. Assuming that the main factors affecting the earthquake characteristics on the ground surface are source and site ...

Macroseismic foundations of seismic microzoning
Seismic Instruments, 2012The Russian seismic safety regulations are based on macroseismic evaluations in terms of seismic intensity values. According to the seismic scale, intensity value determines both the degree of destruction of buildings and engineering structures and such parameters of seismic impacts as peak ground accelerations and response spectra.

Engineering geological zoning and seismic microzoning
Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology, 1992Seismic microzoning can be accomplished by various methods. One of these methods is based on geological data and the relations between the lithological rock types, rock properties, and groundwater table, the topography and slope stability. A very helpful medium in the preparation process are engineering geological zoning maps which comprise all the ...

Seismic Microzonation of Site Effects
1999We have been developing in France a specific methodology which takes community vulnerability into account. Those microzonings are normally presented as a map at scale 1: 5,000 or 1: 10,000 of the particular effects that are due to site effects, which concern the modification of the seismic signal; taking them into account leads us to the identification

Seismic microzonation of Carora, Venezuela
Carora is located in western Venezuela on the edge of the Carora Basin, on Quaternary sediments over Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks in a region with intermediate seismicity. Carora has experienced medium seismic damage (MCS= VII), such as in the M6.9 El Tocuyo earthquake (1950).Schmitz, Michael* +2 more
