Seismic Zonations at Micro and Macro-Level for Regions in the Peninsular India

James, Naveen; Sitharam, T.G - In: International Journal of Geotechnical Earthquake … 7 (2016) 2, pp. 35-63

Due to the lack of proper preparedness in the country against natural disasters, even an earthquake of moderate magnitude can cause extensive damage. This necessitates seismic zonation. Seismic zonation is a process in which a large region is demarcated into small zones based on the levels of...
