This paper presents a study on the seismic site classification map using the geophysical tests in Kahramanmaras city located at a place where African, Anatolian, and Arabian plates meeting in southern-central Turkey. Generating seismic site classification maps in accordance with National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) has become a mor...

Assessment of seismic site classification (SSC) using either the average shear wave velocity (VS30) or the average SPT-N values (N30) for upper 30 m in soils is the simplest method to carry out various studies including site response and soil-structure interactions. Either the VS30- or the N30-based SSC maps designed according to the National Earth...

Assessment of soil classes and Seismic Site Classification (SSC) relying on either the average shear wave velocity or the average SPT-N values of the upper 30 m of the soil (VS30) and (N30), respectively, is the simplest method to consider the influence of site for common objectives like microzonation surveys. The SSC maps based on VS30 and N30 as...
