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 present study proposes a set of correlations between standard penetration number
(SPT-N) and shear wave velocity (VS) using nonlinear regression analysis. These …

Abstract The Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) is occupied by the thick deposits of different types of
loose to dense soil due to the active sedimentation. Till date, no detailed study has been …

A low strain shear modulus plays a fundamental role in earthquake geotechnical
engineering to estimate the ground response parameters for seismic microzonation. A large …

Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, is one of the seismically vulnerable cities in the world
due to its location close to the convergent boundary between the Eurasian and Indian …

A seismic site characterization study is carried out in the south of the foothills of tectonically
active Himalayan region. During an earthquake, the dynamic characteristics of the shallow …

This paper presents spatial variation of seismic hazard at the surface level for India, covering
6–38° N and 68–98° E. The most recent knowledge on seismic activity in the region has …

Different seismic hazard components pertaining to Bangalore city, namely soil overburden
thickness, effective shear-wave velocity, factor of safety against liquefaction potential, peak …

An attempt has been made to classify seismic stations installed along the Himalayan belt
and in adjoining regions using recorded strong-motion data and different empirical methods …

This paper presents an over view of the seismic microzonation and the grade/level based
study along with methods used for estimating hazard. The principles of seismic …
