摘要
In this paper, the seismic susceptibility of Imphal city with respect to ten synthetically generated samples of the historic 1869 Cachar (M-w 7.5) earthquake that occurred in the Kopili fault is presented based on the finite-fault seismological model in conjunction with nonlinear site response analyses. For all the synthetic sample earthquake events, the mean and standard deviation of surface level spectral ground acceleration at peak ground acceleration ( PGA) and natural periods of 0.3 and 1 s have been reported in the form of contour maps. These contour maps can serve as guidelines for engineers and planners to identify vulnerable areas for possible seismic disaster mitigation of Imphal city.
