PROPUESTA GEOLÓGICA DE MICROZONAS SÍSMICAS PARA LA CIUDAD DE CARACAS

Due to the lack of subsoil geological information of the alluvial sediments, has been created a urban geology database for the Caracas Valley. These geological data base supports a geological proposal of 11 microzones considered homogeneous for seismic microzoning, which have been reflected on a quaternary map of geological formations and faults. The charac terization of each microzone is based on the geological evaluation of 7 parameters considered as significant.
