RECENT SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN CENTRAL GREECE REVEALING LOCAL SEISMOTECTONIC PROPERTIES

Recent Seismic Activity in the N®12t'he N Red Sea

Recent seismicity and swarm activity in the northern Red Sea have been examined in relation to the tectonics and structures indicated by surface geology and marine magnetic anomalies. Seismicity appears to be low compared to the rest of the Red Sea. Sixty eight earthquakes recorded during the period 1964-1993 had body-wave magnitudes between 3.8 and 6. On 18 February 1992, a swarm of earthquake...

Use of remote sensing and seismotectonic parameters for seismic hazard analysis of Bangalore

Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA) for the Bangalore, India has been carried out by considering the past earthquakes, assumed subsurface fault rupture lengths and point source synthetic ground motion model. The sources have been identified using satellite remote sensing images and seismotectonic atlas map of India and relevant field studies. Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE) has been ...

Seismic vulnerability and loss assessment for buildings in Greece

Local seismic attributes a

Local seismic attributes measure seismic signal characteristics not instantaneously at each signal point and not globally across a data window but locally in the neighborhood of each point. I define local attributes with the help of regularized inversion and demonstrate their usefulness for measuring local frequencies of seismic signals and local similarity between different datasets. I use sha...

Recent Trends in Housing Activity of Local Health Departments *

The growing awareness of housing problems Ten years ago it was possible, and even fashionable, for local officials and civic leaders in American cities to deny the existence of slums or other basic housing problems in their communities. Today the shortage of housing is known to every school child, and most cities possess both emergency and long-term machinery for housing betterment. The past de...
