Seismic stratigraphy of the north-western Sea of Marmara shelf along the North Anatolian Fault system

Focal mechanism determinations of earthquakes along the North Anatolian fault, beneath the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea

We determined the centroid moment tensor (CMT) solutions of earthquakes that occurred along the North Anatolian fault (NAF) beneath the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea, using data obtained from Turkey’s broadband seismograph network. The CMT solution of the 2014 Aegean Sea earthquake (Mw 6.9) represents a strike-slip fault, consistent with the geometry of the NAF, and the source-time function...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Systematic analysis of crustal anisotropy along the Karadere–Düzce branch of the North Anatolian fault

S U M M A R Y We perform a systematic analysis of crustal anisotropy along and around the Karadere–Düzce branch of the North Anatolian fault (NAF), which ruptured during the 1999 Mw 7.4 İzmit and Mw 7.1 Düzce earthquakes. A method consisting of an iterative grid search for the best shear wave splitting parameters in sliding time windows is applied to ∼22 000 measurements recorded in the 6-month...

A Fault Slip Transient on the North Anatolian Fault

Paleoseismic Evidence of Characteristic Slip on the Western Segment of the North Anatolian Fault, Turkey

We have conducted a paleoseismic investigation of serial fault rupture at one site along the 110-km rupture of the North Anatolian fault that produced the Mw 7.4 earthquake of 17 August 1999. The benefit of using a recent rupture to compare serial ruptures lies in the fact that the location, magnitude, and slip vector of the most recent event are all very well documented. We wished to determine...
