چکیده
[1] In a previous paper [Bouchon et al., 2001], we presented what we believe are strong indications of supershear rupture over parts of the faults of the 1999 Turkey earthquakes. These findings are based on near-fault recordings and modeling of the ground motion. We also showed that the supershear value inferred for the Izmit earthquake (the only event for which this velocity is well resolved) is close to ffiffiffi

How Fast is Rupture during an Earthquake ? New Insights from the 1999 Turkey Earthquakes
We report that during the two devastating 1999 earthquakes in Turkey, rupture propagated over a large part of the nearly 200km long fault zone at supershear speed approaching 5km/s. We present observations and modeling which confirm the original inference of supershear rupture during the Izmit earthquake and we show that supershear upture also occurred during the Diizce earthquake. We show that...
متن کاملSeismic Behavior of Jacket Offshore Platform Subjected to Near and Far Field Ground Motions
Offshore structures such as jacket platforms have to inevitably be designed against sever environmental actions. In seismically active areas these structures also become susceptible to earthquake excitations. Strong ground motions recorded in recent earthquakes, including the 1995 Kobe, Japan, 1999 Chi-chi, Taiwan and 1999 Kocaeli, Turkey earthquakes, revealed that the dynamic motions in nea...
متن کاملAnomalous seismotectonic interrelationships preceding the 1999 Izmit event , NW Turkey
The 1999 Izmit earthquake (17/08/1999, Mw=7.4) was one of the largest earthquakes in the past 100 years in the northwestern region of Turkey. This earthquake occurred along the Izmit-Sapanca fault within the Northern Anatolian Fault Zone. Variations in the generalized fractal dimensions (Dq) of clustering in time and space, the Gutenberg-Richter b-value, and earthquake frequency (N) are evaluat...
متن کاملReply Comment on " Earthquake Source Spectra in Eastern North America
Haddon (1996) proposes a theoretical model for earthquake source spectra in eastern North America (ENA), based on certain assumptions regarding the rupture process. He shows that if ENA earthquakes are characterized by very high rupture velocities and fractional stress drop, then their high-frequency S-wave radiation is strongly enhanced relative to that predicted by the simple Brune (1970) sou...
متن کاملImaging Earthquake Source Complexity
Abstract Recent improvement in analysis methods, computational resources, and seismological and geological observations enable us to image earthquake source in detail. This paper reviews various studies for each component of source imaging: model parameterization, data, theoretical wave calculation, and optimization. Differences in analysis in each of these aspects can lead to significant diffe...
