Determination of seismic wave attenuation in Delhi, India, towards quantification of regional seismic hazard

  National capital of India, Delhi is under moderate to high seismic hazard due to active regional faults such as the Mahendragarh fault, the Delhi Haridwar fault, the Sohna fault, the Delhi Meerut fault and the Rajasthan boundary fault. In addition, Delhi is also located within 200km radial distance from Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and […]

Banerjee Soham, Kumar Abhishek (2017), Determination of Seismic Wave Attenuation for the Garhwal Himalayas, India, Geosciences Research, DOI: 10.22606/gr.2017.22005

Present work determines the seismic wave attenuation characteristics in the Garhwal Himalayan, India. These are obtained based on the attenuations of P, S and coda wave spectra from the recorded seismograms of nearby earthquakes (EQs) with focal depth up to 10 km. Since P and S waves come directly to the site, attenuation of P […]
