Abstract This study involves gathering the geological and geotechnical data and processing them in 3D structural model for the assessment of the likelihood of liquefaction hazard. A total of 467 borehole logs up to 30 m of depth were analyzed. Based on engineering characteristics of the soil formation, Geographical Information System based subsurface model maps and liquefaction hazard maps were prepared. Also microtremor measurements have been taken on different locations to assess the amplification of the alluvial formation. By obtaining amplification spectrum between the soil layers and response spectra at the top of the bedrock and at ground surface, a thematic map on amplification factor is produced. It is believed such kind of visual models will help engineers and designers on all aspects of future development of the cities especially transportation, infrastructure, and land uses against possible earthquake hazards.

Risk Curves

Using the seismic activity model in the National Seismic Hazard Maps for Japan, risk curves were calculated for the exceedance probability in 30 years regarding building damage, i.e., the number of completely destroyed buildings, due to earthquake motion in municipalities throughout all of Japan. In calculation, building data were created using 250 m mesh, and loss functions of wooden and nonwooden buildings were set. Analysis was performed by constructing a methodology considering the spatial correlation of dispersion of earthquake hazards and dispersion based on the planer extension of municipalities. Furthermore, we show the usage of calculated risk curves, for selecting assumed earthquakes and quantitatively estimating aseismic effects of wooden buildings.
