Overview

Analysis indicates underestimated spectral acceleration values in Varanasi, implying increased earthquake risk.

Key Points

  • Response spectra values are underestimated in many areas of Varanasi, increasing earthquake risk significantly.
  • The analysis involves a stochastic model to assess the seismic vulnerability across 30 sites in Varanasi.
  • Surface acceleration time history and PGA contours reveal critical insights into ground motion response in the city.
  • Comparison with IS-1893:2016 code highlights essential discrepancies in expected seismic performance for Varanasi.
