The effect of soil type results on amplification analysis for area “Dheu i Bardhë” on seismic aspect
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Seismic microzonation is the generic name for subdividing a region into individual areas having different potentials for hazardous earthquake effects, defining their specific seismic behavior for engineering design and land-use planning
The effects of earthquakes are not only dependent upon the magnitude of the earthquake and the distance from the source, but also due to local geological conditions. Subsurface conditions play a major role in the damage potential of earthquakes and the seismic soil amplification of a site which is a critical factor affecting the level of ground shaking. The effect of local soil conditions is taken into consideration in the evaluation of ground motion properties in seismic design of structures. One of the most important effects on the ground surface due to strong ground motion is soil amplification resulted in the structural damage. Soil amplification can be determined both by dynamic analyses performed according to analytical methods based on local site conditions and obtained with investigations based on the results of in situ testing methods. The purpose of this study is to develop predominant period and amplification factor for “Dheu i bardhë area.
