The Himalayan crystalline core zone exposed along the Sutlej Valley (India) is composed of
two high‐grade metamorphic gneiss sheets that were successively underthrusted and …

Subsurface lithology and seismic site classification of Lucknow urban center located in the
central part of the Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) are presented based on detailed shallow …

The seismically active Northwest (NW) Himalaya falls within Seismic Zone IV and V of the
hazard zonation map of India. The region has suffered several moderate (~ 25), large-to …

We performed one dimensional equivalent linear site response analysis for 11 soil profiles
of Dhanbad city. To explore the effect of subsoil on the induced effect of earthquakes at the …

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 understanding of geotechnical characteristics of near-surface material is of fundamental
interest in seismic microzonation. Shear wave velocity (Vs), one of the most important soil …

Site amplification coefficients and acceleration design response spectra (ADRS) for the
deep Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) have been proposed. Non-linear site response analysis is …

Characteristics of ground motions generated during an earthquake (EQ) alter between
bedrock and the surface depending upon subsoil properties. Such modifications in the …

The Kumaon and Garhwal Himalayas, NW-India have similar geologic, tectonic, topographic
and precipitation pattern. However, low-temperature thermochronological age pattern varies …

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 …
