iran is one the most tectonically active parts of the world and regularly experiences earthquakes of both low and high magnitude. therefore, earthquake hazard assessment before any kind of building construction and for already built and populated area is essential. a vital first step in this type of study is to identify, map, and determine the activity of faults within a given region. investiga...

Superconductor fault current limiter (SFCL) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. This paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  Appropriate location and type of the limiters in a HV substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. Study system is simulated by...

ground differential movements due to faulting have been observed to cause damage to engineered structures and facilities. although surface fault rupture is not a new problem, there are only a few building codes in the world containing some type of provisions for reducing the risks. fault setbacks or avoidance of construction in the proximity to seismically active faults, are usually supposed as...

the law of the continental europe is considered an offspring of the roman law. in the roman law the “fault” was considered as the basis of liability. the doctrine of fault was included in the french civil code of 1804 through the roman law, and from there, made its way into the laws of other european and non-european countries. according to the instruction of the holy prophet of islam (pbuh), i...

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...

Alborz Mountains is a region of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study fault system in western Alborz comprises abundant evidence of active faulting accompanied by occurrence of historical earthquakes. Active tectonics of Manjil-Rudbar fault zone whose movement caused destructive 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake was concentrated in this article through geomorphic and st...

Recorded ground motions in near fault region have completely distinct nature from others that recorded in far field of the fault. Near source outcomes cause much of the seismic energy to appear in a single large and long period pulse at the beginning of the velocity record. Assaluyeh complex is located near the reverse Assaluyeh fault that is a segment of Mountain Front Fault. This complex cont...

the study area locates between an active fault system of north anatolian in turkey and active alborz and zagros mountain ranges in iran. the total shortening concluded from arabia-eurasia collision with a rate of 22 mm/year across the ne persia is partitioned  into  two  fault  systems,  right-lateral  strike slip  movements  in  the  turkish-iranian  plateau  like  north tabriz fault system an...
