Seismic Microzonation for Refinement of Seismic Load Parameters

Power Technology and Engineering, 2016
Functional 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 ...

A GIS for Data Mining in Seismic Microzonation Studies

2019
The increasing spread of geographical information system (GIS), which represents a recognized technology that is mainly composed of data handling tools for storage, recovery, management and analysis of spatial data, made research and the application of automatic and semi-automatic cartographic techniques extremely interesting. The creation of a GIS for

Seismic Microzonation: A Case Study

2006
The 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, 2012
The 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.

Seismic microzonation studies for the city of Ragusa (Italy)

Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2014
Abstract The seismic history of the city of Ragusa (Italy), the geotechnical characterisation of the subsoil and the site response analysis should be correctly evaluated for the definition of the Seismic Geotechnical Hazard of the city of Ragusa, through geo-settled seismic microzoning maps.

Seismic microzonation: an essential tool for urban planning in seismic areas

2016
Dramatic images of heaps of rubble produced in Italy by destructive earthquakes show the extreme vulnerability of urban systems and territory and the need for urgent measures to protect citizens, buildings, artistic heritage and landscape. According to this study, the reduction of vulnerability must go through ordinary city planning tools, prepared in ...

Seismic risk reduction: the role of seismic microzonation

2012
In 2007 the Regione Emilia - Romagna issued microzonation regulations that require : 1-for every municipality of the region a geological survey with the goal of identifying the sites susceptible of seismic site effects (level 1); 2- for municipalities belonging to the seismic categories 2 and 3 a microzonation map (level 2) and finally 3- a detailed ...

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).

Seismic Microzonation of Site Effects

1999
We 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
