Microzonation map of the Abbottabad basin and immediate surroundings

This study presents seismic hazard and seismic microzonation maps for the Abbottabad basin and surroundings, which are used in assessment and seismic design of buildings and bridges and other infrastructures. This research work determines microzonation parameters (shear wave velocity, fundamental frequency, and acceleration on ground surface) using geotechnical and geophysical testing procedures. Standard penetration test (SPT) and H/V methods...
