Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Surface Waves in Statistical Correlations of Shear Wave Velocity and Penetration Resistance of Chennai Soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed empirical correlations between shear wave velocity and standard penetration test blow counts (SPT-N) for different categories of soil in Chennai city characterized by complex variation of soil conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic hazard assessment of Chennai city considering local site effects
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study is carried out to assess the seismic hazard of Chennai city based on a deterministic approach, where the seismicity and seismotectonic details within a 100 km radius of the study area have been considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic site classification and site period mapping of Chennai City using geophysical and geotechnical data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the shear wave velocity of soil layers at 30 locations in Chennai City by Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) test and nearly 300 borehole data were used to estimate V s based on the correlations between V s and SPT-N values.
