Seismic Hazard Assesment of Dhaka,Chittagong and Sylhet City Corporation Area of Bangladesh
The deterministic approach was adopted for the earthquake motion estimation in this study. The earthquake motion for engineering seismic baserock and sub-surface layer amplification were determined separately. An empirical method is used to calculate the earthquake motion for engineering baserock. Four formulas from NGA project are applied and average value was used. The stochastic Green’s function study was also conducted for verification. The amplification by sub-surface soil layers was evaluated by the amplification factor which was decided by average shear wave velocity from ground surface to 30 meters depth. The ground of each grid was classified based on the modified NEHRP Provisions. The amplification factors of NEHRP Provisions were verified by the response analysis at 19 points, where PS loggings were conducted in this study, and the applicability of the amplification factor to Bangladesh was verified.
