“…This method is an extension of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) to include site amplification directly in the ground-motion attenuation relationship (Cramer 2003). According to Cornell (1968Cornell ( , 1971 and McGuire (2004), the basic formulation for hazard calculation in PSHA is:…”

“…Generally, equation (3) is applied to the attenuation relationship on rock (Frankel et al 1997(Frankel et al , 2002. Cramer (2003) applied the attenuation relationship on soil to calculate ground-motion hazard. This method was applied to map the probabilistic seismic hazard (including site-effect) in Memphis, Tennessee (Cramer et al 2004(Cramer et al , 2006.…”

Microzonation is an effort to evaluate and map potential hazards found in an area, urban area in particular, that could be induced by strong ground shaking during an earthquake. These hazards include: ground motion amplification, liquefaction, and slope failure. The microzonation maps, depicting ground-motion amplification, liquefaction, and landslide potentials, can be produced if the ground motion on bedrock (input) and the site conditions are known. These maps, in combination with ground-motion hazard maps (on bedrock), can be used to develop a variety of hazard mitigation strategies such as seismic risk assessment, emergency response and preparedness, and land-use planning. However, these maps have certain limitations that result from the nature of regional mapping, data limitations, generalization, and computer modeling. These microzonations show that when strong ground shaking occurs, damage is more likely to occur, or be more severe, in the higher hazard areas. The zones shown on the hazard maps should not serve as a substitute for site-specific evaluations.

“…The use of Vs in assessing site response in urban seismic hazard investigations is rapidly coming to the forefront of research (e.g., Cramer 2003;Cramer et al 2004;Frankel et al 2007Frankel et al , 2009. Vs is also an important parameter in building codes (ICC 2006) and in design applications by the earthquake engineering community (Kramer 1996).…”

“…A better approach is the one proposed by Cramer [2003], where site effects are included using the probability density function of a ground motion parameter at the soft soil in study, conditioned to the value of the same ground motion parameter at the reference rock site. If this probability function is determined, the inclusion of site effects in the PSHA is straightforward, as shown by Cramer [2003].…”

“…If this probability function is determined, the inclusion of site effects in the PSHA is straightforward, as shown by Cramer [2003]. The method is very practical because, if the mentioned conditional density function is known, the hazard curve at the soft site can be computed without having to redo the PSHA.…”

A simple and general method based on well-known random vibration theory is used to compute spectral attenuation relations at soft sites based on existing spectral attenuation relations at rock sites. The method consists of: (1) computation, for given magnitude and distance, of the expected Fourier amplitude spectrum associated with the median rock response spectrum computed with the attenuation relation; (2) inclusion of site effects characterized by a frequency-dependent, linear, or nonlinear transfer function; and (3) computation of the response spectrum at the soft site.
