Microzonation of ground dominant periods at city of Ensenada, Baja California

The civil structures are mostly damaged when the fundamental period of the structure is close to the dominant period of ground motion (DP) where it is founded. To increase the security of the seismic design of new structures or the reinforcement of existing structures, it is essential to develop mic...

To increase the security of the seismic design of new structures or the reinforcement of existing structures, it is essential to develop microzonation maps of the dominant period, where urban spots and areas with high potential for future urban development will contain.
