Single microtremor method for estimating site fundamental frequency at a site in the historical city of Byblos - Lebanon

Researchers successfully applied the single microtremor method to estimate the site fundamental frequency at a historical site in Byblos, Lebanon. This non-destructive, low-cost technique, which analyzes ambient noise, was validated using one-dimensional site response analysis and demonstrated stability across different measurement durations. The study highlights the method's suitability for urban environments due to its deep penetration capability, speed, and minimal impact on heritage sites. Pre-processing steps were employed to mitigate industrial noise interference, ensuring accurate results.
