Earthquake forecasting during the complex Amatrice-Norcia seismic sequence
Earthquake forecasting is the ultimate challenge for seismologists, because it condenses the scientific knowledge about the earthquake occurrence process, and it is an essential component of any sound risk mitigation planning. It is commonly assumed that, in the short term, trustworthy earthquake forecasts are possible only for typical aftershock sequences, where the largest shock is followed b...
متن کاملSeismic CAT-Scan of an Ancient Earthquake
Two-dimensional and three-dimensional seismic surveys were conducted across the Oquirrh fault, Utah with the purpose of imaging the fault structure to a depth of about 15 m. Results show that the 3-D tomogram clearly delineates the fault zone and a colluvial wedge, both of which correlate extremely well with the geologic cross-section interpreted from an adjacent trench. The thickness of the co...
متن کاملCriteria for Seismic Risk Reduction of Earthquake Resistant Buildings
Most of the existing seismic design codes are based on the empirical knowledge accumulated through systematic earthquake damage data collection and their analysis. Required levels of protection and seismic design forces gradually are increased after each series of catastrophic earthquakes particularly in developed countries. Many efforts have been made through experimental and analytical studie...
متن کاملThe temporal distribution of seismic radiation during deep earthquake rupture.
The time history of energy release during earthquakes illuminates the process of failure, which remains enigmatic for events deeper than about 100 kilometers. Stacks of teleseismic records from regional arrays for 122 intermediate (depths of 100 to 350 kilometers) and deep (depths of 350 to 700 kilometers) earthquakes show that the temporal pattern of short-period seismic radiation has a system...
متن کاملSeismic Risk - Why It Should Be Considered and Impediments to Implementation - An Earthquake Center Perspective
Selection of acceptable seismic risk revolves around significant societal and engineering concerns. One approach relies on cost-effective quantitative enhancement of seismic resilience for critical structures and systems. A Center perspective can provide a coordinated research framework to develop the advanced knowledge and technologies needed to develop the integrated engineering tools, decisi...
