description Earth fissures are widely distributed worldwide, and the Fenwei Basin in China is one of the regions with the most significant number and scale of fissures in the world. The Yuncheng Basin is an important constituent basin of the Fenwei Basin in China, where earth fissures are densely developed and cause severe damage. In particular, the impact of earth fissures on the seismic response of the site is still unknown and is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Based on microtremor tests, three types of typical earth fissure sites in the Yuncheng Basin were selected for field testing. Through spectrum analysis, the dynamic response characteristics of the earth fissure sites were determined. The results show that the dynamic response of the site is significantly affected by the earth fissures. The dynamic response strength of the site is the largest on both sides of the earth fissures, and it decreases and gradually stabilizes with increasing distance from the fissures. The influence range of the earth fissures on the hanging side is slightly longer than the heading side.
