Soil and Sediments Microzonation for Evaluation of Site Effects on Earthquake Damages in Mobarakeh, Esfahan, Iran

Abstract: As an important step in effectively reducing seismic risk and the vulnerability of the city of Mobarakeh to earthquakes, a site effect microzonation Study was conducted. Seismic hazard analysis for a return period of 475 years was carried out. Data from 10 borings was collected and analyzed, geophysical surveys were conducted and seismology and geoelectric measurements taken in more than 17 stations through out the city. The study area was divided into a grid of 500 × 500 m 2 elements and the sub-surface groun… Show more

“…Surface geological conditions have significant effects on amplification and deamplification of strong ground motion at special frequencies (Borcherdt 1970;Joyner and Boore 1988;Zeng 1993;Olsen and Archuleta 1996;Woolery and Street 2002;Apostolidis et al 2004;Nguyen et al 2004;Teramo et al 2005;Hasancebi and Ulusay 2006;Leyton et al 2013). Past earthquakes such as the 1985 Mexico city (Mexico), the 1990 Manjil-rudbar earthquake (Iran), the 1994 Northridge earthquake (Los Angeles), the 1995 Kobe earthquake (Japan), the 1999 Izmir earthquake (Turkey) and the 2003 Bam earthquake (Iran) are evidences for local geology and soil deposit effects on ground motions and distribution of damages in metropolitan areas (Singh et al 1988;Somerville and Graves 1996;Tertulliani 2000;Bakir et al 2002;Jafari et al 2005;Rezaei et al 2012).…”
