1 Predicting Seismic Vulnerable Zones using GIS by K.S.A. Dinesh Kumar Research Scholar, Anna University & Lecturer in Civil Engineering Dept. National Institute of Technical Teachers Training & Research (NITTTR), Chennai Dr. E.S.M. Suresh Asst. Professor of EMC NITTTR, Chennai. Dr. S.S. Ramakrishnan Professor, Institute of Remote Sensing Anna University, Chennai. Outline of the presentation Introduction Objectives Methodology Maps Conclusion 1 2 Introduction Rapid Urbanization & Rapid spread of modern life style, it appears that Earthquake disaster is becoming more complicated. In recent decades earthquakes with magnitude of 5 & 6 has occurred in southern India which forced to study of peninsular seismic vulnerable zones in detail. Chennai urban is growing very rapidly. The most buildings are not meeting codal requirements on seismic resistance. Necessary to analyse the earthquake vulnerable zones at Chennai city. Objectives To identify vulnerable zone of Chennai city To analyse various parameters for stability of structures against Earthquake To develop micro level planning for earthquake To develop Vulnerability Sensitivity Index To prepare guide line document for new proposed structures & existing structures against stability GIS is a powerful tool for the assessment of risk and management of Natural Hazards 3 4 Risk Mapping Overview Factor Maps Hazard Maps Multiple Hazard Maps Vulnerability Analysis of Buildings Risk to the Buildings & and physical layout Vulnerability analysis of Infrastructure Maps other elements in the physical layout Three levels of Zonation Grade 1: General Zonation (1:50,000 to 1: 10,00,000) (Ref: Report of Technical Committee on Earthquake Geotechnical Engg., of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engg.) Input Existing Body of multisource Information (historic documents, published reports at other available data) Catalogues of instrumentally monitored earthquakes Human Habitat & Infrastructure at risk Existing geological & geomorphological maps Feed back from actual studies Combined Risk Base Maps Socio-economic elements at Risk 5 Site Investigation reports of major construction projects 6 Source: UNDRO Manual
2 Output The first level map Reliability Depends on the quality of the input information Grade 2: Detailed Zonation (1:10,000 to 1: 1,00,000) Input Mobilization of additional data to fill in information gaps in the general zonation (first level) exercise. This would require study of satellite imageries, air photos, and some additional ground mapping. Micro tremor studies for subsurface details and ground amplification 7 8 Grade 3: Rigorous Zonation Outputs Detailed map Reliability Reasonable (1:5,000 to 1: 25,000) Input Additional site investigation data Seismic ground response analyses Liquefaction hazard mapping Slope instability behaviour Outputs Rigorous map Present Status of Chennai City Reliability The Highest 11 Source: CDMM Seismic Microzonation,
