In many past and recent earthquakes it has been shown that the
local conditions and, in particular, the local geology have a great
influence on the observed seismic ground motion and, consequently,
on the damage distribution in housing, industrial stock, and
life-lines. Seismic microzoning is the usual procedure to have
these local effects taken into account for engineering design and
land-use planning, being a useful tool for earthquake risk
mitigation. This volume presents a collection of papers mainly
originated from a workshop on Seismic Microzoning, organized during
the 23rd General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society (EGS)
in Nice, France in April 1998. The workshop dealt with various
geophysical tools for analysing the effects of the local soils of
subsurface geology on seismic ground motion, namely the methods
using experimental data such as microtremors, and the
theoretical/numerical 1-D and 2-D modelling methods. Additional
contributions discussing techniques for characterising soil
properties, microzoning applications to several urban areas, and
others were added to the volume to broaden this important topic.
