<p>The 1 October 1995, Ms D 6:1 Dinar earthquake ruptured a 10 km section of the NW-SE Dinar-Civril fault. Thereare discrepancies between the published source parameters from seismic data, with seismic moments in disagreement by over a factor of two. We use ...

Characteristics of vertical and horizontal component strong ground motions have been examined to reveal general trends which may be of significance to structural analyses. Recordings at both rock and deep soil sites representative of WUS showed distinctly ...

In this report are studied the characteristics of strong ground motions at the near-source region.

Developments in geotechnique since the First International Conference on Seismology and Earthquake Engineering are summarised in this paper. Major earthquakes have made possible the validation and improvement of soil subjected to liquefaction by field performance ...

A total of 166 observations of sea-level change, 130 measurements of elevation difference, and 16 determinations of horizontal strain provide an excellent view of the (quasi-)static source process of the great 1960 Chilean earthquake.

A method is presented for calculating the seismic response of a system ofhorizontal soil layers. The essential element of the method is a rheological model suggested by Iwan which takes account of the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of soils and has considerable ...

Plate-bounding fault, the Cascadia subduction zone may give earthquakes of large magnitude in Northwest Pasific area.
