Microzonation

Microzonation of the greater San Salvador will prepare a basis for OPAMSS from which city growth plans can be evaluated also in terms of environmental risks.

The task will include:

  • Identification of city growth areas in cooperation with OPAMSS
  • Soil characterization: thicknesses, type, shear velocity etc.
  • Empirical data collection (SASW) as basis for defining shear wave velocity profiles.
  • Analytical estimation of amplification factors (primarily through equivalent linear models, e.g. SHAKE)
  • Empirical data collection (H/V) and subsequent amplification analysis.
