Abstract
The city of Ohrid is one of the oldest settlements in the western Balkans,exceptionally rich with archeological, architectural, and cultural sites, whichmust be protected from damage during future earthquakes by properretrofitting and strengthening of the old structures. To provide a sound basisfor retrofitting work, in this paper, we describe the amplitudes of strongground motion in Ohrid for a range of probabilities of being exceeded. We usethe Uniform Hazard Method to compute the amplitudes of strong motion, and,in the calculations, we explicitly include the geological site conditions for allthe maps we show. By noting the large jumps in the predicted strong motionamplitudes at sites along the contact between basement rock and sediments,we emphasize that the empirical scaling equations for strong motionamplitudes must include explicit dependence on the geological site conditions.
