| Popis: | We endeavor to assess site response exploiting ambient noise measurements which we carried out at 70 sites in different parts of Shillong City, one of the seismically active regions. We estimate the spectral ratio from these recordings. The spectral ratios reveal the resonant frequency for Shillong City in the range of 3 to 8 Hz. Short scale spatial variation in the resonant frequencies suggests that there is prominent lateral heterogeneity in the underlying layers. Besides, a non-linear earthquake site response analysis is also attempted using available geotechnical data. A good correlation is observed between site response analysis and HVSR results constrained by wide variation of resonant frequency at short distances. The results are found to be tallying well with the geological data. Comment: 37, 10 Figures |
