Overview

Randomized trial evaluates peak ground acceleration in Baguio City, indicating seismic risk levels.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the impact of topography on peak ground acceleration (PGA) in Baguio City for earthquake hazard evaluation.
  • Utilized geophysical survey data to assess site amplification effects.
  • Simulated individual fault sources surrounding Baguio City to generate composite PGA.
  • Identified area-specific acceleration values based on topographic influences.
  • 39% of Baguio City may experience a ground acceleration value of 0.71 g to 0.8 g.
  • Areas like Pinsao Proper are projected to experience higher acceleration levels.
