Good day! I am Conrad Matthew F. Soriano and I am an MS Structural Engineering Student from the University of the Philippines-Diliman. My research is focused on the development of fragility curves in Quezon City. As related literature, I stumbled upon the Philippine Earthquake Model by DOST-PHIVOLCS published last 2017. In line with this, I would like to request for a shapefile (.kmz or .shp format including its related files) for the VS30 map of Quezon City. All information will be solely used for this research. You may contact me at [email protected]. Thank you very much!
