Seismic hazard maps for Jordan and vicinity     

M. Semih Yücemen 《Natural Hazards》1992,6(3):201-226

Probabilistic methods are used to quantify the seismic hazard in Jordan and neighbouring regions. The hazard model incorporates the uncertainties associated with the seismicity parameters and the attenuation equation. Seven seismic sources are identified in the region and the seismicity parameters of these sources are estimated by making use of all the available information. Seismic hazard computations and the selection of peak ground acceleration and modified Mercalli intensity values at the nodes of a 25 × 25 km mesh covering the region under study are carried out by two different computer programs.The results of the study are presented through a set of seismic hazard maps displaying iso-acceleration and iso-intensity contours corresponding to specified return periods. The first set of maps is derived based on the seismicity data assessed in this study and display our best estimate of the seismic hazard for Jordan and the neighbouring areas. The second set of maps which shows the alternative estimate of seismic hazard is based solely on the seismicity parameters reported by other researchers. The third set of maps, called the Bayesian estimate of seismic hazard, reflects the influence of expert opinion involving more conservative assumptions regarding the Red Sea and Araba faults.  相似文献   

1936年灵山63／4级地震极震区烈度分布及发震构造   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

李伟琦 《华南地震》1992,12(3):46-51

根据现场调查材料,对1936年4月1日广西灵山6 3/4级地震震中区烈度进行评定并绘制了等震线图。图中烈度Ⅸ、Ⅷ度区呈“T”形,两长轴方向与区内NEE及NNW方向断裂吻合。据此认为该震的发震构造为NEE和NNW两组断裂,6 3/4级地震系两组断裂共轭破裂的结果。又据低烈值沿NEE方向衰减较慢,认为NEE组断裂同时起控震构造作用。  相似文献   

Deconvolution of squared velocity waveform as applied to the study of a noncoherent short-period radiator in the earthquake source     

A. A. Gusev  V. M. Pavlov 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1991,136(2-3):235-244

We consider an inverse problem of determination of short-period (high-frequency) radiator in an extended earthquake source. This radiator is assumed to be noncoherent (i.e., random), it can be described by its power flux or brightness (which depends on time and location over the extended source). To decide about this radiator we try to use temporal intensity function (TIF) of a seismic waveform at a given receiver point. It is defined as (time-varying) mean elastic wave energy flux through unit area. We suggest estimating it empirically from the velocity seismogram by its squaring and smoothing. We refer to this function as observed TIF. We believe that one can represent TIF produced by an extended radiator and recorded at some receiver point in the earth as convolution of the two components: (1) ideal intensity function (ITIF) which would be recorded in the ideal nonscattering earth from the same radiator; and (2) intensity function which would be recorded in the real earth from unit point instant radiator (intensity Green's function, IGF). This representation enables us to attempt to estimate an ITIF of a large earthquake by inverse filtering or deconvolution of the observed TIF of this event, using the observed TIF of a small event (actually, fore-or aftershock) as the empirical IGF. Therefore, the effect of scattering is stripped off. Examples of the application of this procedure to real data are given. We also show that if one can determine far-field ITIF for enough rays, one can extract from them the information on space-time structure of the radiator (that is, of brightness function). We apply this theoretical approach to short-periodP-wave records of the 1978 Miyagi-oki earthquake (M=7.6). Spatial and temporal centroids of a short-period radiator are estimated.  相似文献   

Probabilistic macroseismic hazard assessment for Nicaragua (preliminary results)     

Sergio Espinosa 《Natural Hazards》1996,13(2):179-202

A probabilistic macroseismic hazard assessment has been done for Nicaragua. For this, the most complete catalogue for Central America, compiled by NORSAR in Norway has been used. In this catalogue, empirical intensity attenuation relations were found. Using these empirical relations, magnitudes were changed to epicentral intensities expected in sites where no intensities had been reported. The calculated intensities from a polygon surrounding Nicaragua were used to assess the macroseismic hazard in the region. For the whole polygon, the cumulative intensity frequency was calculated resulting in a b-value of 0.60 for an intensity interval of V–IX. The time completeness was also studied indicating that, for strong events causing higher intensities (I ₀ VII), the catalogue is complete for events that have been recorded since 1840. The whole polygon was cut into independent seismotectonic regions where the statistical procedure (intensity frequency and time completeness) was done.  相似文献

地震前地壳形变异常分布的非均匀性特征   总被引：11，自引：2，他引：9  

牛安福  张雁滨  柯丽君  刘祖荫  郑文衡 《地震》1999,19(2):149-154

利用Ｆ综合检验的理论,讨论了形变异常的定量化及检测准则。利用潮汐观测中的非潮汐形变讨论了大同和丽江地震前形变异常分布的非均匀性,并与地震活动的特征进行了对比。结果表明,震前１．５年左右,能检测出区域性的准同步形变异常,出现的异常空区可能是未来的地震危险区,且形变异常空区在震前应有强化或补偿现象。因而,在地震危险区的判定中首先面临的问题是地震孕育所处阶段的判定;在无法判别地震孕育阶段的情况下,形变异常台站周围和异常强度场中所出现的形变异常空区都是危险的。  相似文献   

Seismogeological and hydrological criteria for the New European Macroseismic Scale (MSK-92)     

J. Vogt  R. M. W. Musson  M. Stucchi 《Natural Hazards》1994,10(1-2):1-6

In 1988, an ESC Working Group Macroseismic Scales started upgrading the MSK-81 Intensity Scale. This paper presents the background and decisions made with respect to the so-called seismogeological effects. Discussion has pointed out that they cannot be treated and used in the same way as the effects on humans, objects and buildings, for many reasons. Therefore, the WG adopted the solution of using such effects as a side tool for intensity assessment, providing a comprehensive table where the experimental relations between seismogeological effects and intensity degrees - assessed by means of other effects - are presented.  相似文献   

定量的穆斯堡尔谱学中比值C＝Ca／Cb的实验测定     

阚学敏  张恩林等 《矿物学报》1991,11(1):33-38

按定量斯堡尔谱学公式：Sa/Sb=(Ca/Cb)(Na/Nb），若两类铁原子的浓度a和Nb是已知的，并通过实验测得强度Sa和Sb，即可求得它们的相对强度系数（Ca/Cb)。但实际上这种测量有很多困难。本文介绍在特殊条件下的若干测量结果。选用铁白云石、橄榄石、钙铁榴石和铁铝石四种矿物；它们的含铁量已知，且各自只含有一种价态的铁原子，各自的谱图中只出现一组四极矩双线，制备了混合吸收体，它们各自由上述四种矿物之中的两种组成，每种矿物对吸收体含铁量的贡献Na和Nb是已知的，并让Na/Nb≈1。若将Ca相对于铁白云石、钙铁榴石和铁铝榴石分别改写为Cakr, Cadd和Cakm，将Cb相对于橄榄石改写为Colv，所求得的结果是：Cadd/Colv=0.964(±0.025),Calm/Colv=0.874(±0.020),Cakr/Colv=0.828(±0.015），对这些结果与矿物结构之间的进行了讨论。  相似文献
