چکیده
Normal mode solutions for • spherical earth model are superposed to obtain realistic synthetic surface waves for various force systems. The calculation of excitation functions is greatly facilitated by the variational technique. The effects of attenuation anal instrument response are included in the synthesis. The synthesized seismograms are compared with the actual seismograms for wave form, amplitude, radiation pattern, and phase to obtain various source parameters such as force geometry, source-time function, seismic moment, source dimension, and rupture velocity. The application is made to the Kurile Island earthquake of October 13, 1963 (M • 8.3). The comparison is made for Love waves G4 and Rayleigh waves R4 for • period range 100 to 400 sec. It is found that a reverse dip-slip fault with a dip angle of 22 ø and a dip direction of N47øW can explain the observation reasonably well. Other parameters determined are as follows: seismic moment, 7.5 X 1028 dyne-cm; •urcetime function, step function; fault length, 200 to 300 km; rupture velocity, 2.7 to 4.5 km/sec in the direction N43øE.

[1] The 25 October 2010 Mentawai, Indonesia earthquake (Mw 7.8) ruptured the shallow portion of the subduction zone seaward of the Mentawai islands, off‐shore of Sumatra, generating 3 to 9 m tsunami run‐up along southwestern coasts of the Pagai Islands that took at least 431 lives. Analyses of teleseismic P, SH and Rayleigh waves for finite‐fault source rupture characteristics indicate ∼90 s ru...

[1] The southwestern half of a 500 km long seismic gap in the central Kuril Island arc subduction zone experienced two great earthquakes with extensive preshock and aftershock sequences in late 2006 to early 2007. The nature of seismic coupling in the gap had been uncertain due to the limited historical record of prior large events and the presence of distinctive upper plate, trench and outer r...

Damage to essential facilities (e.g. lifelines and industrial facilities) due to extreme loads may cause remarkable indirect impact as well as direct physical loss. Hence understanding seismic performance of essential facilities is very important in high seismic risk regions. On October 23, 2011 an earthquake of magnitude Mw7.2 occurred in Van province in eastern Turkey. Several damages occurre...
