The Dead Sea fault system and its branching faults represent one of the most tectonically active regions in the Middle East. The aim of this study is to highlight the degree of hazards related to the earthquake activities associated with the Dead Sea rift, in terms of speculating the possible future earthquakes. The present investigation mainly is based on available data and vertical crustal modeling of Jordan and the Dead Sea model for the Dead Sea basin with particular emphasis of the recent earthquake activities, which occurred on December 31st, 2003 (Mc = 3.7), February 11th, 2004 (strongest Mc = 4.9 R), and March 15th, 2004 (Mc = 4). The present research examines the location of the strong events and correlates them with the various tectonic elements in the area. The source mechanism of the main shock and the aftershock events is also examined. The analyses were based on the available short period seismogram data, which was recorded at the Natural Resources Authority of Jordan, Seismological Observatory. The seismic energy appears to have migrated from the south to the north during the period from December 31st up to March 12th, where the released seismic energy showed a migration character to the southern block of the eastern side of the Dead Sea, which led the seismic event to occur on March 15th. 相似文献

The isoseismal map for the earthquake that occurred in the Jordan Valley on 11 July 1927 was analyzed and used to develop Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) Attenuation relation for Jordan needed for use in relevant seismic hazard evaluation procedures. Strong motion data of earthquakes that occurred in Jordan and Israel during the last 15 years were summarized. A comparison is made between recorded PGA's and those calculated using the derived Attenuation relations commonly used by experts in the region. The comparison showed that the derived relation is appropriate for estimating PGA values on alluvium foundations. The derived relation gave results close to those obtained using a relation introduced by Esteva in 1974. The 1982 relation of Ben-Menahem and co-workers gave reasonable predictions of PGA values for most geological formations of foundations, in general. 相似文献

Variation of ground-motion amplification and structural dynamic characteristics of Amman citadel 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Structural remains of the site refer to clear evidence of large historical earthquakes that strongly affected the site during the last 2,000 years. In this work, we present a study of dynamic behavior of Jabal Al-Qalaa site as well as the dynamic behavior of some archeological remaining structures on the site using the free oscillation of surface geology and structures. In this study, seven ground records were obtained along approximately east–west profile, crossing the top of the hill zone. Structural records were obtained at three selected structures following administrative requirements. All structural records were conducted at the top level of each structure using three components seismometer of 2 Hz free oscillation. Horizontal sensors were oriented with respect to the longitudinal and transverse direction of structural horizontal projection. Used orientations are essential for obtaining both structural fundamental modes in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Moreover, damping factors for each horizontal fundamental mode were calculated based on the obtained FFT spectrums of each orientation using half-width band method. Analysis shows that all inspected structures in this study are of high frequency. Interesting results of records obtained at the Umayyad Alcazar, relatively low damping factor as well as sharp fundamental modes in its both longitudinal and transverse directions are recorded at this well-preserved old historical structure. Free-field records were conducted along approximately E-W profile crossing the top of the hill. The purpose of this methodology is to identify the variation of H/V amplification along with, and to find out the topographical effect of this convex geological feature. Obtained H/V ground resonance dominant modes as well as the site amplification reflect well the topographical effect of the citadel hill zone. Amplification gradually increases to reach 4.5 at the top of the hill. 相似文献

The potential to destroy any structure during earthquakes depends on the structural design, vulnerability rating, percentage of structural elongation as compared with the natural quiet conditions, the dynamic characteristics of structure itself, as well as the dynamic characteristics of the site. Thus, factors related to the dynamic characteristics of structure and the dynamic characteristics of the site are necessary in the design of resistant structures against earthquakes. In this study, recordings of free oscillation were made directly on 18 selected structures in the urban city of Aqaba, which represent the structural culture of the city and the whole Jordan in general. Ground ambient vibration records were conducted at 18 nearby location at a few meters away from each structure. Records were conducted during the maximal cultural activities using three-component seismometer of 2 Hz free oscillation. Analytical results of records obtained on structures, has given the following equation: $ f = {18}/N $ , where f, is the fundamental mode of structure and N, is the number of stories. All structural records were conducted at the top level of each structure except at Shmesani 4 and 7. Horizontal sensors were oriented with respect to the longitudinal and transverse direction of structural horizontal projection. Damping factors for each structural longitudinal and transverse fundamental mode were calculated based on the obtained FFT spectrums of each orientation using half-width band method. Analysis of obtained records on structures in Aqaba show that most of them are of short periodic structures except a few multi-story tall buildings. Most of the results obtained on structures refer to damping factors that range between 0.05 and 0.208. Mathematical relation derived from this study above, in addition to the actual calculated damping factor, refers to non-compliance with the standards of earthquake-resistant design. Results of ground records analysis indicate to the westward and north-westward decrease of dominant frequency relative to the eastern and southeastern part of the study area, where the crystalline granite bedrock is much shallower reflecting the actual condition of surface geology. Striking that the H/V amplification was relatively higher in the scope of areas where the thicknesses of soft surface deposits in the eastern and southeastern part are much shallower relative to the western and north-western part of the study area. This can be interpreted as a result of much higher impedance contrast in the eastern and southeastern part relative to the western and northwestern parts of the study area. 相似文献

Anthropogenic activities are likely to cause global warming. Global warming will affect marine productivityand thus food availability for marine organisms. Both the seawater temperature and food availability affect benthicforaminifera, the most abundant marine calcareous microorganisms. Therefore, a laboratory culture experiment wasconducted on Cymbaloporetta plana to understand the coupled effect of temperature(25°C, 27°C, 30°C) and food(102±5,203±9, 305±14, 407±18, 508±23 diatom cells). At all temperatures, growth increased with increase in food. The specimenssubjected to 27°C temperature attained the maximum growth and those subjected to 25°C were the smallest. All specimensfed with 508±23 cells reproduced, 0 irrespective of temperature. Of all the specimens without food, 40% at 27°C and 20% at25°C reproduced, whereas specimens subjected to 30°C did not reproduce. The 100% rate of reproduction at 27°C suggeststhat it is the optimum temperature for growth and reproduction. All the specimens at 30°C and without additional food,died, whereas at 25°C and 27°C, the mortality rate was 80% and 60%, respectively. The limited growth and reproductionwith decreasing food clearly indicates that food availability also controls the growth and reproduction of shallow waterbenthic foraminifer C. plana. Therefore, warming coupled with decreasing productivity is likely to severely affect thegrowth and abundance of shallow water benthic foraminifera. 相似文献

This study tackles a set of conclusions and involves an evaluation of presumptive historical earthquakes in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, which hit the region and strongly affected the archeological sites in Jordan. Actually, the core of the study was the ancient cities of Umm Qais (Gadara), Umm Al-Jimal, Deir Al-Kahf, Al-Azraq, and Pella in the North and Dhahil water reservoir and Humaima in the South. The archeological excavations made during the past 20 years helped a lot of the region’s seismicity re-evaluation and relocation of historical earthquakes, about which the researchers argued on determining their epicenters and magnitudes. The recent excavations at Umm Qais (Gadara) indicated that earthquake-impacted ruins have been buried under nearly 2 m of dust deposits for centuries. So, such important indicators that can be relied upon to determine the epicenter and magnitude evaluation of these historical earthquakes were unveiled. Based on the recent available excavations, it is obvious that Umm Qais was affected by two seismic events within a time interval of not less than 100 years. In the light of the results found in Umm Qais and the remote archeological sites of Umm Al-Jimal and Deir Al-Kahf, there was no azimuthal projection of neither collapsed nor tilted columns indicating that there was a major earthquake with the epicenter located in the Carmel rupture zone in the North of Palestine, and not in the rift zone as reported earlier. But, the second earthquake was at the northwest of Umm Qais. The earthquake reported here seems to coincide with the reported major earthquake in 748 AD while the second one that occurred earlier corresponds to the 551 AD. The eastward collapsed towers in the South with respect to the southern archeological site of Humaima and a seismic swarm in Sep. 20, 2003, suggested that the Wadi Araba fault may not be continuous but segmented, subject to confirmation by detailed sub-surface structural information. 相似文献
