Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis of a Highway Sector with GIS
Publication: Geo-Frontiers 2011: Advances in Geotechnical Engineering
Abstract
Deterministic seismic hazard assessment of a 16 km long road sector was done using GIS tools. The analysis was done by calculating the factor of safety against sliding for each 2 m x 2 m cylinder of soil using the slope stability analysis equations for the translational failure that were modified for horizontal ground motion. The results of this study show that hazard prone area increases exponentially with an increase in ground acceleration.
