Identifying the Influence of the Local Geology in Case of Earthquake for Urban Planning: Case Study in Brussels (original) (raw)

It is now widely admitted that the sub-surface geology is a crucial component when analyzing the seismic response in urban areas. Our project aims at mapping the seismic response of a pilot zone of Brussels in case of major earthquake scenarios. A detailed knowledge of spatial underground conditions is essential for an analysis of site effects. This is currently done in Brussels at the scale of 1/5000 through a 2D and D GIS model. Geological data, field measurements and numerical modeling results will be combined into a GIS to provide maps featuring the local seismic hazard.
