Site response and liquefaction hazard analysis of Hawassa town, Main Ethiopian Rift

Abstract: The study area is located in one of the most earthquake prone regions in southern Ethiopia, which is characterized by small-to-intermediate earthquake occurrences causing damage to buildings. Predicting liquefaction hazard potential and local site effects are imperative to manage earthquake hazard and reduce the damage to buildings and loss of lives. The objectives of this work were to perform the equivalent linear response analysis (ELA) and shear wave velocity (Vs.)-based liquefaction hazard analysis and cla… Show more

“…In engineering seismic design, the engineering design and construction solutions that are compatible with the characteristics of the site conditions can effectively reduce the damage to the engineering structure from seismic effects, extend its safe service life, and contribute to the sustainability of the engineering structure. Site conditions are mainly considered in the following aspects: engineering geological conditions and hydrogeological conditions near the surface [3,4], local topographic effects [5,6], and fault site effects [7,8]. The engineering geological conditions near the surface can be investigated from three angles, such as geotechnical type, overburden thickness, and soil structure [9].…”
