<p>The evident seismicity of the Philippines has brought about a need to account for all possible factors that dictate the intensity of ground shaking during earthquakes. Ground shaking can be significantly increased by the local soil conditions that exist in a particular site, generally known as soil amplification. The lack of a reference for soil amplification hinders the proper consideration of the effect of local soil conditions in ground shaking during earthquakes. Shear wave velocities, Vs and other soil characteristics were utilized in order to analyse the effect of soil conditions in ground motions. Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis was performed incorporating the effects of soil amplification in order to estimate values of peak ground acceleration with a Probability of Exceedance of 10% in 50 years. The obtained values range from 0.27 g to 0.49 g, generally attributed to the variability of the soil conditions that exist at the site considered.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
