Destructive moderate to major earthquakes across the globe have highlighted various
possible forms and extent of damages. Subsoil properties play a vital role in controlling the …

The aim of this paper is to estimate the response spectra for moderate seismic area in
Sarawak, Malaysia. In the present study, the response spectra for Miri district, in Sarawak …

In the present work, acceleration response spectra are determined from earthquakes which
have occurred in the NE region and the effect of local geology on its shape is studied. One …

Abstract Gandhinagar City (the Capital of Gujarat, India) falls under Zone III on the seismic
zoning map of India where an earthquake of magnitude 6 can be expected. It is a well …

Deep soil basin is one of the geographical features which significantly alter the response to
earthquakes. Around the world, there are regions where bedrock is at a substantial depth …

Building damages as well as induced effects of earthquake are the consequences of surface
ground motion at the site. While due importance is given to the soil beneath the ground, the …

The residential buildings of Makkah Al-Mukarramah constructed mostly on a soft Quaternary
deposits with various thicknesses reaching to more than 30 m in most districts. The spatial …

Surface geology and geotechnical characteristics of soil deposits have a paramount
importance on ground shaking which alters the ground motion parameters. Ground …

Earthquake response analysis has been carried out for various locations in the State of
Haryana (India) adopting the equivalent linear approach. For this purpose, geotechnical …

Even after a century, the site-specific seismic parameters are unidentified for seismically
vulnerable Kangra city, which has witnessed a disastrous effect from the 4th April 1905 …
