Abstract:

Today analyzing seismicity hazard urban different areas is critical and inevitable due to develop and to expand cities in seismically active zones and naturally, the hazard because the earthquake is more in the bigger cities and the necessity to consider these hazards would be increased. Expanding the cities in Iran seismically active zones caused to be necessary to analyze earthquake hazard. Bouinzahra, Qazvin and Hamedan as cities in subject to earthquake hazard are perfect relevant instances. These important cities have been surrounded among active faults and it’s possible always to happen a big earthquake on it. For probabilistic risk analysis for different levels of software EZF RISK that a program is incredibly strong in this field has been used. This study analyzes the seismic hazard of earthquake for these 3 cities considering this truth by Probabilistic and Deterministic analyzing method. The results showed the relative level of earthquake hazard is high in these cities and it’s according to suggesting opinion of Iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings (2800).

Seismicity and Seismic Hazard of Northeastern Nevada

The February 21, 2008, Wells earthquake (MW=6.0) occurred in a region of northeastern Nevada where the seismicity has historically been low relative to western Nevada. In a region of area of approximately10 5 km 2 of northeastern Nevada, based rates of smaller earthquakes in the region prior to 2008, earthquakes of MW=6.0 or larger are expected with a rate of about 0.01 per year. The probabilit...

Seismic Hazard Estimate from Background Seismicity in Southern California

We analyzed the historical seismicity in southern California to develop a rational approach for calculating the seismic hazard from background seismicity of magnitude 6.5 or smaller. The basic assumption for the approach is that future earthquakes will be clustered spatially near locations of historical mainshocks of magnitudes equal to or greater than 4. We analyzed the declustered California ...

Recent 2017-2018 Seismicity and News Seismic Hazard Zoning of Iran

On November 12, 2017, at 18:18 UTC, a major earthquake with moment magnitude Mw7.3 struck the Kermanshah province of Iran, causing extended damage and casualties. Thus, we explore seismicity preceding this earthquake, with the aim to understand whether the information from past events could provide some insights about the occurrence of this and other future large earthquakes. Taking into accou...

Thermal structure and intermediate-depth seismicity in the Tohoku-Hokkaido subduction zones

The cause of intermediate-depth (> 40 km) seismicity in subduction zones is not well understood. The viability of proposed mechanisms, which include dehydration embrittlement, shear instabilities and the presence of fluids in general, depends significantly on local conditions, including pressure, temperature and composition. The wellinstrumented and well-studied subduction zone below Northern J...
