Engineering geological approach to the evaluation of seismic risk in metropolitan regions: case study of Patras, Greece
Abstract The city of Patras in western Greece has experienced several destructive earthquakes during the past centuries. The engineering geological conditions of the area have been analyzed and described using a relational geotechnical database management system including geotechnical and geological information obtained from exploratory boreholes, cone penetration tests and cross hole seismic prospecting. The foundation soils of the city were grouped into individual geotechnical units and several engineering geological maps and geotechnical cross sections were compiled. Criteria are proposed for the approximate evaluation of the effect of local soil conditions on ground motion, especially on the distribution of amplification features.
