HVSR results have a good relationship with the geological environment of deposition (alluvial fal, prodelta), that is the reason because we got high predominant period peaks. Remi, Masw and Spac techniques revealed a high velocity layering structure, validated by 8 boreholes drilled near from the team’s study site. Remi line 2 could be defined as a Class C site ( m/s, Stiff Soil- standard designs - NERHP). Remi lines 3 could be defined as a Class B site ( m/s, Soft Rock- low-hazard design - NERHP). Conclusions

Thanks you so much!
