EVIDENCE OF ROTATIONAL MACROSEISMIC EFFECTS IN GREECE (2014)
<p>A considerable number of damaging earthquakes in Greece, have produced a variety of macroseismic effects to both built and natural environment. After a strong earthquake, rotational effects have been observed mainly on free-standing columns, statues, chimneys, ...

COSEISMIC TECTONIC SURFACE DEFORMATION DURING THE 2010 MAULE, CHILE, MW 8.8 EARTHQUAKE (2012)
Tectonic deformation from the 2010 Maule (Chile) Mw 8.8 earthquakeincluded both uplift and subsidence along about 470 km of the central Chilean coast. In the south, deformation included as much as 3 m of uplift of the Arauco Peninsula, which produced emergent ...

MODEL ACCURACY IN ASEISMIC DESIGN OF IMMERSED TUNNEL (2008)
This thesis deals with the model accuracy for seismic design of immersed tunnels, like the proposed underwater artery in Thessaloniki, Greece. The soil response to seismic waves is analysed in the frequency domain by means of the domain transformation method ...

RAPID DETERMINATION OF EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE USING GPS FOR TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEMS (2006)
In this paper is shown that the earthquake's true size and tsunami potential can be determined using GlobalPositioning System (GPS) data up to only 15 min after earthquake initiation, by tracking the mean displacement of the Earth's surface associated with ...
