Seismic microzoning of Belgrade
AbstractSeismic microzonation maps for Belgrade (Serbia) and its surroundings are presented based on the uniform-hazard-spectrum (UHS) methodology. Such mapping must satisfy the guidelines for performance-based design (PBD), which at present requires the specification of two sets of spectral amplitudes, one in which the structure would remain essentially linear, and one in which it would undergo nonlinear response. These requirements cannot be achieved by specifying the design spectra using only one (same) fixed spectral shape, and such spectra cannot be scaled by the peak ground acceleration alone. Another source of difficulties in the selection of the design amplitudes for PBD occurs when the standard spectrum shape is not capable of describing excitation by large, distant earthquakes. Furthermore, scaling the site dependent design ground motion only via soil site classification ignores the effects of site geology and thus leads to biased results. The maps we present in this paper avoid these shortcomings and include the effects of near and distant large earthquakes, spatial distribution of seismic activity, site geology, and site soil properties in a balanced way.
