Even though the size of the earthquake is moderate, presence of soft soil near the surface can cause devastating damage due to local site and induced effects like liquefaction. Evidence of liquefaction due to past Indian earthquakes was highlighted in many Paleo-seismic studies, particularly in the Himalayan region. The objective of this paper is subsurface […]

Subsurface lithology and seismic site classification of Lucknow urban center located in the central part of the Indo- Gangetic Basin (IGB) are presented based on detailed shallow subsurface investigations and borehole analysis. These are done by carrying out 47 seismic surface wave tests using multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and 23 boreholes drilled up […]
