Determination of NEHRP Site Class of Seismic Recording Stations in the Northwest Himalayas and Its Adjoining Area Using HVSR Method

  Local site characteristics plays an important role in controlling the damage pattern during earthquakes (EQs). These site characteristics may vary from simple to complex and can be estimated by various field tests. In addition, extended Nakamura€™s method, which uses horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) based on available EQ records also available for site […]
