Description:

It is essential to understand seismic ground motion in order to understand how dynamically a structure responds to earthquakes. Due to variations in seismic loading, strong ground vibrations can damage structures to varying degrees. The different essential traits of powerful ground motions help explain this ground diversity during moderate to large earthquakes. This study mainly focuses on the comparison between ground motion parameters such as the Peak Ground acceleration (PGA), and local site spectra considering the design response spectrum and site-specific response spectra of varying soil profiles in Gyor. Multichannel analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) data from eleven different places in Gyor were considered and analyzed using the 1-dimensional response analysis software, STRATA, and a detailed comparison was carried out between the different site locations in terms of PGA, and local site spectra. The result revealed the sites with the highest amplifications based on peak ground values of acceleration, velocity, and displacements. With 1-dimensional STRATA software, peak ground acceleration profiles, and response spectrum results are obtained and compared to Eurocode 8 standards.
