Characterization of the Shallow Structures of the Deren Fault by Ground Penetrating Radar

چکیده
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been widely used in geologic, hydrogeologic, and civil engineering purposes. Correlated with geological exposures and trenches, GPR data can offer detail subsurface information to past earthquakes investigation. McClymont et al. [2][3] show very good performance of GPR for fault characterization. In this paper, we show an example of practical application of GPR to fault detection. Based on the processed data information, we interpret the data in terms of a simple structural model.

Evaluation of Nonlinear Response of Structures to Near-Fault Ground Motions and the Comparison of Results with Near-Fault Simulated Records
Near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. It is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. This pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...

Abstract In this research, Geophysical methods Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) and Geoelectric have been used to detect hidden Quaternary faults in alluvial sediments located southwest of Chitgar Forest Park (District 22 of Tehran). The study of profiles (GPR) identified areas such as fault. The results obtained from two Geoelectric profiles indicate that there are two zones with low electrical...
