Tripura state in northeast NE India falls in the high-risk zone V in the seismic zoning map of India. In this study, we select the city Udaipur, Tripura, for seismic hazard analysis. Characterization of soil is much essential for seismic hazard risk studies in any developing urban city like Udaipur. We conducted Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) experiments at 15 selected locations in the city area to estimate shear wave velocity (V) of the subsurface soil / weathered s layer. The dispersion data of the recorded Rayleigh waves (R-wave) were inverted using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to obtain shear wave velocity profiles of the investigated sites. In addition, Standard Penetration Test (SPT-N) using, bore logs at these sites, and its proximity, were obtained from the government drilling agencies. These data are used to develop correlation equations by nonlinear regression. The results are then compared with the established correlations for soil characteristics. The V ranges from 130-400 m/s in most of the sites except at Bhubeneswari Temple (site no 2) and s30 Kaluadhepa SB School (site no 6), where V reaches up to 445 m/s and 425 m/s respectively. A V map for the city area is s30 s30 prepared and average dynamic characterization is examined, which reveals susceptibility of site-effects and liquefactions in some parts of the study area. These results are much useful for seismic hazard risk analysis and for seismic design and engineering considerations for urban development in the study area.
