Sinopse

This book reviews and assesses the various methodologies for site characterization and site effect estimation to carry out seismic zonation at micro and macro levels. Readers will learn about the suitability of these methodologies for each level of zoning that needs to be assessed in order to optimize the resources for carrying out seismic zonation. The Indian sub-continent is highly vulnerableáto earthquake hazards, and past studies have focused primarily on the Himalayan region (inter-plate zone) and the northeastáregion (subduction zone). The book improves understanding ofáthe PeninsularáIndia that also has significantly high seismicity and is prone to earthquakes of sizeable magnitude.áParticular attention is given to the various methodologies for assessing seismic hazards, the scales at which site characterizations are carried out, and optimal methods for zonation practices using site data and hazard indexes. Aimed at students, this book will be of use to post-graduates and doctoral students researching seismic zonation, hazard assessment and mitigation, and spatial data in earth sciences.á
