Evidence indicates that the vertical component of ground motion is more significant than previously thought, especially for near fault events. However, many design codes do not reflect the importance of the vertical component of ground motion. Therefore, ...

<p>A numerical procedure for the preliminary estimation of the earthquake-induced settlement of concrete face rockfill dams is presented. The method is based on a simple constitutive model that accounts for the key features of the behavior of coarse grained ...

In this study is presented a catalogue of Izmit aftershock hypocenters that was deduced froma network covering the entire 140 km long rupture of the mainshock

This paper is concerned with the study of the effect of combined horizontal and vertical accelerations on the seismic response of reinforced concrete structures. To achieve this objective, three reinforced concrete buildings representative of rigid, semi-rigid ...

<p>In this paper is investigated aftershock focal mechanisms of the Mw=7.4 Izmit earthquake of 17 August 1999, on the western North Anatolian Fault Zone (Bohnhoff et al., 2006).</p>

Rotational and vertical components of ground motion are almost always ignored in design or in the assessment of structures despite the fact that vertical motion can be twice as much as the horizontal motion and may exceed 2g level, and rotational excitation ...

In this report is presented a critical review of the historical record as well as an overview of potential earthquake sources in and around Karachi.

<p>A goal of this article is to relocate all instrumental seismicity at the Sumatra and Andaman subduction systems, using the same method in order to make meaningful interpretations based on a consistent data set.</p>

Two volcanic eruptions in the Sumatra-Andaman arc that followed the disastrous M 9.3 earthquake of 26 December 2004 raise the question of whether these eruptions were triggered by the earthquake.In this paper are presented new evidence to suggest that earthquake-induced ...

<p>In this study is measured the decay of aftershocks as a function of distance from magnitude 2-6 mainshocks in order to clarify the aftershock triggering process.</p>
