<p>The waves that occur in an earthquake affect the behavior of the soil and the building</p><p>due to the structural condition of the bedrock and the physical properties of the soil</p><p>near the surface. To predict this interaction, the deep underground structure models</p><p>of the areas considered as settlements should be determined and how the earthquake</p><p>waves will be directed (macro-zoning) depending on this should be revealed. Since the</p><p>near surface features of the ground can increase the effect of earthquake waves, it is</p><p>necessary to determine the near surface properties and create their maps (micro-zoning).</p><p>Earthquake waves are formed in thick sediments compared to the rock environment</p><p>and cause great damage to both the ground and the buildings. In order to be protected</p><p>from these damages, it is necessary to determine focusing and scattering conditions</p><p>arising from the deep underground base topography. Therefore, parameters such as</p><p>maximum horizontal ground acceleration, soil liquefaction, soil dominant vibration</p><p>period, soil amplification, and near-surface soil properties should be determined.</p>
