A deterministic seismic hazard analysis for the major cultural heritage sites of Tamil Nadu, India

As stated in several studies Tamil Nadu is the eleventh largest state in India by area and the seventh most populous state and also it is the fifth largest contributor to India′s GDP and the most urbanised state in India. The region has been the home of the Tamil civilization since at least 1500 BC, as attested by numerous archeological sites in and around Adichanallur. Tamil Nadu is home to many natural resources, grand hindu temples of Dravidian architecture, hill stations, beach resorts, multireligious pilgrimage sites and eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Bureau of Indian Standard (2001) categorized Tamil Nadu under Seismic Zones II and III, representing an area of 73% and 27% respectively. It should also to be noted that the major historical and Heritage sites like Mahabalipuram, Kamakshi Amman Temple in Kanchipuram, Kapaleshwarar temple in Chennai are fall in Zone III of Moderate Hazard (Figure 1). In this connection these heritage sites has to be evaluated for Seismic Risk. As a first step the potential seismic hazard for these sites evaluated based on deterministic approach.
