Abstract
Ground response analysis plays a significant role in predicting the ground surface motions. The propagation of body waves from focus to ground surface traveling through various soil layers influences the input motions at the ground level. The present study focuses on ground response analysis for two sites—Passighat in Arunachal Pradesh and Shahkot–Moga bridge site in Punjab. Soil profile at the Passighat indicated the presence of silty clay to clay and sandy soil deposits, whereas the profile corresponding to the Shahkot–Moga site indicated the presence of only sandy soil. Shear wave velocities of soil profiles were evaluated from SPT N values based on available correlations. Peak bedrock accelerations of Bhuj, Chamoli, Kobe and Sikkim earthquake data were used for the analyses. One-dimensional equivalent linear analysis was performed for all the borelog data using DEEPSOIL software, and values of PGA, PSA and FAR as functions of frequency were derived. Amplification factors for Passighat and Shahkot–Moga sites vary from 1.5 to 2.5 and 1.9 to 4, respectively.
