ON THE USE OF MICROTREMOR DATA FOR MICROZONATION IN BUYUCEKMECE (ISTANBUL), TURKEY

Abstract

The recent August 17, (Izmit) and November 12, 1999 (Duzce) earthquakes have clearly shown that near surface geological structure and topographical conditions play an important role in the level of ground shaking. In mitigation, first of all, information on soft soil response to earthquakes has prime importance. The mapping of dynamic properties of site can assist in mitigation in earthquake prone areas. Microtremor recordings are useful for determining site effects in Buyukcekmece. Microtremor observations can be used to determine the predominant period and amplification of soil at any site, hence can be used for microzonation. These records are analyzed by Nakamura's method to obtain the predominant period and amplification of soil at selected sites. Nakamura's method which proposes a practical and inexpensive procedure for estimation of the fundamental frequency of the site, assumes that the spectral ratio of horizontal to vertical components yields an estimation of site effects. The obtained results range from 0.11 s to 1.36 s and from 1.0 to 3.4 for predominant site periods and amplifications, respectively.
