(most of the above references provide attenuation equations applicable to either bedrock or

one or several soil types, in free-field condition). It shall then be adjusted, as required, to
account for unusual site conditions, such as deep alluvium or soft sites, where expectable
accelerations generally contain more energy in the long period range than those on a rock
site. The seismic hazard map of Nepal (Figure 2) produced by Department of Mines and
Geology provided below may be referred wherein peak ground acceleration at bedrock that
