Abstract

The main target of seismic microzonation is to reduce the seismic risk vulner-
ability. The application of seismic microzonation in urban planning is an
effective step towards decreasing hazards and damages of earthquakes. In this
research , the risk of earthquake occurrence in Kermanshah has been taken into
account in the form of maximum acceleration and spectral acceleration values f or
the three return periods of 475 , 975 and 2475 years. It w as found that ground
accelerations at bedrock level increase from north to south of the city. Next,
geophysical studies have been done to produce the fundamental frequency map
of the ground . They show that the all uvium layer in most parts of Kermanshah is
rather thin but at the central extend of the city . T h e fundamental f requency map
is also used to assess the determination of land usage in Kermanshah for future,
based on avoiding resonant hazard for the buildings as built according to national
regulations.
