Abstract

In the two last decades the microtremor H/V spectral ratio method has been widely used for site effect studies. Straightforward estimate of the site effect of sediments and low-cost measurements are the main advantages of mentioned method. In this research the use of microtremor measurements in estimation of site response have been investigated. In order to assessing the accuracy of the measurements and its application in site effect evaluation, a preliminary site response modeling was carried out using the numerical methods. The results showed that the H/V spectral ratio approach provides an acceptable means of site effect evaluation in study area.
