masjed soleyman dam site is located in the zagros mountain of western iran, which is one of the most seismically active zones of the alpe-himalayan belt. after impounding of dam, the seismicity of area increased considerably, showing the impact of reservoir (177 m height, 261 million m3) in changing the rate of seismicity in the area. we have analyzed the seismicity of area in terms of the spat...

The fractal nature of electromagnetic radiation induced by uniaxial and triaxial rock fracture is considered. Both the well-known Gutenberg-Richter-type and the Benioff strain-release relationship, for earthquakes and starquakes, are shown to extend to the microscale (millimeters-centimeters). Results show that both the b value of the Gutenberg-Richter-type law and the slope of the Benioff stra...
