Liquefaction Phenomena Induced by the 26 November 2019, Mw = 6.4 Durrës (Albania) Earthquake and Liquefaction Susceptibility Assessment in the Affected Area

On 26 November 2019, an Mw = 6.4 earthquake struck the central-western part of Albania. Its impact comprises secondary environmental effects (EEE) and severe building damage within Periadriatic Tirana Depressions. EEE comprised mainly liquefaction phenomena in coastal, riverine, lagoonal sites earthquake-affected area. From evaluation all available earthquake-related data, it is concluded that are not randomly distributed affected area but structurally lithologically controlled. The areas NW–SE striking zones formed graben-like syncline with trending fold axes. These bounded by marginal thrust faults filled geological formations Neogene to Quaternary age. structures coincide seismogenic fault 2019 as derived from provided plane solutions. An approach for susceptibility assessment applied based on seismological data inventory. comparison compiled inventory maps, majority observed has been generated very high susceptible areas.
