Abstract:

The study of earthquakes from historical sources, or historical seismology, was considered an early priority for the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) project, which commissioned a study of historical seismicity on a global scale. This was the Global Earthquake History (GEH) project, led jointly by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV; Milan, Italy) and the British Geological Survey (BGS; UK). GEH was structured around three complementary deliverables: archive, catalog, and the Web infrastructure designed to store both the archive and catalog. The Global Historical Earthquake A

<strong>Abstract:</strong>Throughout history, humankind has constantly faced natural disasters. Turkey is known as an earthquake country because it completed its formation in the third and fourth geological time. Many fault lines pass through Turkey, which is located between the Eurasian plate in the north and the Arabian and African plates in the south. This situation shows that almost all provinces in Turkey are earthquake zones. Hatay, located among these provinces, has taken its place as a first-degree earthquake zone. Due to its location, Hatay is a city that has

Abstract:

Abstract Creeping faults are difficult to assess for seismic hazard because they may participate in rupture even though they likely cannot nucleate large earthquakes. The creeping central section of the San Andreas fault in California (USA) has not participated in a historical large earthquake; however, earthquake ruptures nucleating in the locked northern and southern sections may propagate through the creeping section. We used biomarker thermal maturity and K/Ar dating on samples from the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth to look for evidence of earthquakes. Biomarkers show evidence of

Base isolators are designed to protect structures from earthquake impacts by decoupling horizontal ground motion from the building. This technology is widely applied to bridges, buildings, and critical facilities due to its efficiency in reducing damage risks. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of base isolators in minimizing dynamic structural responses to earthquakes. Numerical simulations were conducted to compare the performance of structures with and without base isolators, focusing on maximum acceleration, velocity, and displacement.

Abstract:

AbstractOne of the most important factors that make structures vulnerable to earthquakes is the short distance between structures and epicenter. Near-field earthquakes have special properties, such as increasing acceleration applied to the structure, which distinguishes them from far-field earthquakes. Therefore, the absorption of input energy for structures located near the faults is very important. Hence, by rotating the earthquake acceleration time history and comparing the resulting spectral acceleration response, the angle which applies the greatest force to the structure on the earthquak

Masonry structures is one of the most preferred structure types throughout history. The advantageous of these structures can be categorized as longevity, affordability and easy access to materials. Due to a lack of information and constructive errors, masonry structures suffer major damage under effect of earthquakes. While the vertical load carrying capacity of a masonry structure is excellent, its performance under horizontal loads is very poor. The brittle behavior of masonry structures, in particular, causes the structure to suffer significant damage or collapse completely during an earthq

Abstract:

In the near-field earthquake, forward directivity effects cause long-period pulse with a short effective time and a large domain in the velocity time history. This issue increases the ductility needs of structures, and in recent decades, the destructive effects of these kinds of records have been evaluated in comparison with far-field earthquakes. This brings about the necessity to compare a structure’s behavior subjected to vertical components of near-field (NF) earthquakes, including forward directivity effects vs. the effects of vertical components of far-field (FF) earthquakes.

This paper aims to explore recordings of earthquakes that occurred in Indonesia, which are then presented in digital data and used to identify their damage potential in the form of Seismic Intensity Measures (SIMs). After being traced, it turned out that there were only six earthquakes whose ground acceleration time history was found throu

Abstract:

In Japan, a country prone to earthquakes, numerous damaging earthquakes have been recorded throughout history, often accompanied by descriptions of mysterious earthquake lights (EQL), which may involve various mechanisms. In this article, the possible mechanisms for different types of EQL in 11 cases are reviewed among 21 selected earthquakes. These involve preseismic physicochemical variations in the geological structure of the fault in the lithosphere, which contains deep Earth gases such as radon, methane, and others, as a primary factor for EQL generation.

Abstract:

Taupō, New Zealand, is an active caldera volcano that in recent times has erupted on average every ~500 years, with the latest explosive eruption in 232±10 CE. Monitoring at Taupō is challenging as there has been no eruptive activity in documented history; however, Taupō does undergo periods of unrest on roughly a decadal timescale, such as in 2019. Key to identifying these unrest periods is understanding what represents 'normal' inter-unrest activity. In this study, we generate an earthquake catalogue for Taupō for 2010–2019 inclusive, consisting of 46,481 earthquakes. This shows that the Tau

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with the distribution of earthquakes, particularly their depths, with the temperature of the material in which they occur, and with the significance of both for the rheology and deformation of the continental lithosphere. Earthquakes on faults are generated by the sudden release of elastic energy that accumulates during slow plate motions. The nonlinear high-temperature creep that localizes such energy accumulation is, in principle, well understood and can be described by rheological models. But the same is not true of seismogenic brittle failure, the main focus of this

Liquefaction is generally experienced in unconsolidated fine- grained sediments during the large earthquakes. In Nepal, the southern part of the country comprises Quaternary deposits called as Indo-Gangetic deposit. Sand and silts are dominant in this zone, where groundwater level is also relatively high. In eastern Nepal, several places have experienced ground fissures, sand boiling, and liquefaction during the large earthquakes in the past history. There are several factors including soil properties, groundwater level, grain size of sediments and ground acceleration that contribute to ground

Throughout history, human societies have sought to explain natural phenomena through the lens of mythology. Earthquakes, as sudden and often devastating events, have inspired a range of symbolic and mythological interpretations across different civilizations. It was not until the 18th and 19th centuries that a more positivist and scientific approach began to emerge regarding the explanation of earthquakes, recognizing their origin as stemming from processes occurring beneath the Earth’s surface. A pivotal moment in the emergence of modern seismology was the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, which mar

Movements of pulse shape and the high energy applied in short duration by the near fault earthquake, causes brittle fracture in rigid connections that during the Northridge 1994 and Kobe 1995 earthquakes was frequently seen. Rigid connections, which are generally welded due to lack of ductility, have low energy absorption capability. On the other hand semi-rigid connections have a ductile behavior and have a good ability to absorb energy. The purpose of this paper is analysis and compares the behaviors of “rigid” and “TSW semi-rigid” connections under the near fault earthquakes with nonlinear
