}It is now widely admitted that the sub-surface geology is a crucial component when analyzing the seismic response in urban areas. Our project aims at mapping the seismic response of a pilot zone of Brussels in case of major earthquake scenarios. A detailed knowledge of spatial underground conditions is essential for an analysis of site effects. This is currently done in Brussels at the scale of 1/5000 through a 2D and 3D GIS model. Geological data, field measurements and numerical modeling…
