Analysis of the Potential of Seismic Stability for the Southern Region of Tangshan Based on ArcGIS

Abstract:

To assess the potential of seismic stability for the southern region of Tangshan city, five factors are considered, including fault zones, engineering geological condition, hydrogeology condition, dynamic coefficient and site category. In this paper, the process and digitalization and visualization technology of evaluation method for site seismic stability is proposed based on ArcGIS. The overlay method is automatic realized and the seismic stability potential diagram of Tangshan and its southern region is given, which overcomes the drawback that can't automatic classification of other GIS instruments, then time is greatly saved and the efficiency is improved.
