The paper presents the main results of 1D/2D site response numerical analyses at 4 sites selected among the 137 municipalities of the Seismic Microzonation study which has been carried out after the 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence.

Abstract

The paper presents the main results of 1D/2D site response numerical analyses at 4 sites selected among the 137 municipalities of the Seismic Microzonation study which has been carried out after the 2016 Central Italy seismic sequence. Complex site effects at ridge/ slope crest and at the edge of slope covers lead to 2D aggravation factors in the range 2-3 with respect to ground motion predicted with simple 1D analyses. A systematic comparison carried out for all 137 municipalities, between computed and Italian code NTC18 amplification factors highlighted that the code is generally conservative at low-to-medium periods and overconservative at medium-to-high periods. A strategy for the use of microzonation site response analyses in support of seismic design for the reconstruction process is finally suggested.
