<p>Bounded by the western and eastern syntaxes, the Himalayan region has experienced at least five M~8 earthquakes during a seismically very active phase from 1897 through 1952. However, there has been a paucity of M~8 earthquakes since 1952. Examining of ...

In this work is evaluated the current seismicity recorded by the Seismological Network of the Institute of Geodymanics as well as those by local networks, in order to examine, by using different seismicity patters, whether this low seismicity is a precursor ...

Knowledge on large earthquakes (M 7.0), geology and fault kinematics is used to analyse conditions that favour isolated seismicity, clustered earthquakes or propagating sequencesalong the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) and the Sea of Marmara pull-apart.

This review starts with the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and the associated Indian Ocean tsunami, then proceeds to offer long-term perspectives from earthquakes and tsunamis recorded geologically on the Pacic Rim. Histories of earthquakes and tsunamis, ...

This paper summarizes the ndings obtained mainly from seismic data, and discusses the unique eature of this earthquake, and possible directions of research to minimize the impact of great earthquakes on our society.

In recent studies the efficacy of magnetorheological (MR) devices for seismic response modificationhas been demonstrated both experimentally and analytically. Prior experimental investigations focused on the use of a single MR damper to control a multi-story ...
