Abstract
The site amplification characteristics of the 2003 Bam, Iran, earthquake were investigated based on geological studies as well as geophysical, microtremor and aftershock measurements conducted by IIEES in the study area. A site effect microzonation map was prepared classifying the ground conditions of the city into five distinct categories, based on their stiffness, thickness, and frequency characteristics. The highest percentage of damage was concentrated in sites with stiff shallow and medium depth soils, which possessed considerable amplification potentials in high frequency ranges.
