Abstract Microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method has been
conducted at 33 sites in Ahud Rufeidah urban expansion zone in order to assess the

parts of the area are characterized by two well-separated peaks which indicate distinct
shallow and deep impedance contrasts. The frequency map of sediments shows a …
