This study focuses on the assessment of potential seismic impacts from two active segments of the North Anatolian Fault running across the Sea of Marmara. Two seismic scenarios with moment magnitudes of Mw 6.9 and Mw 6.7 were developed for individual segment rupture, and the third one with the magnitude of Mw 7.2 was developed for simultaneous acti...

Context 1
... township of Tuzla is located at the far eastern boundary of the IMM on the Asian side, bordering the city of Kocaeli ( Figure 1). It has a 13 km long coastline along the Sea of Marmara, distanced about 10-15 km from the active NAF zone. ...
Context 2
... its ports, shipyards and numerous well-organized industrial zones, Tuzla contributes significantly to the economic performance of the IMM and Turkey. Major industrial zones are shown in turquoise colour in Figure 1. The growing attraction due to job opportunities in the industrial zones has led to migration from other parts of Istanbul as well as from other cities. ...
Context 3
... spectrum curves were obtained in this study using the site-specific earthquake hazard analysis. The seismic hazard analysis maps obtained for the zone are given in Figure 10. ...
Context 4
... maps were generated for the S1, S2 and S3 scenarios considering uncertainties in active segments of the NAF line in the Marmara Region, as previously described. According to Figure 10.a-10.c, the regions that will be mainly affected by possible earthquake scenarios are the towns of Tuzla, Bakırköy, and Adalar (Prince Islands). The figures also reveal that the most affected region appears to be the town of Tuzla. ...
Context 5
... figures also reveal that the most affected region appears to be the town of Tuzla. The acceleration and spectral displacements that will have an effect on the studied region were determined based on hazard maps shown in Figure 10. These displacements were related to the earthquake spectral displacement demand. ...
Context 6
... this method, the area was divided into a regular grid with 280 x 370 m cell size. The damage distribution maps for the most hazardous scenario, S3, are shown in Figure 11(a)-(d). The number of damaged buildings in the damage maps is shown by different colours, each corresponding to a given number of buildings. ...
Context 7
... the risk is not only proportional to the level of danger but also to the fragility of buildings. These explanations are the reason for damage ratio distributions in far-fault and near-fault areas as shown in Figure 11. As the other two seismic scenarios, S1 and S2, are not shown in figures due to the space limitations for this manuscript, a comparison of the predicted damage percentage of buildings in each damage state between the three seismic scenarios is given in the histogram format in Figure 12. ...

Analysis of geodetic data obtained by the global positioning system (GPS) leads to better understanding of earthquake origins and helps to interpret their sequences. For this, we cross-compare the pre- and postseismic displacements associated with great earthquakes and derived from GPS observations and seismic catalogs. In a pilot study of the 2004...

The North China Craton (NCC) is an important tectonic element in China, which is characterized by intense seismic activity and complex tectonic setting. Thus quantifying its deformation is essential for studying the tectonic processes and deformation mechanisms in this region. Here we use a combination of dense GPS data sets to analyze the crustal...

Exploring the deformation mechanism of the 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo Earthquake is crucial for better understanding the seismic hazard of the faults with low strain rates inside the Bayan Har block. This study leverages deformation information derived from Sentient-1 A/B images and GPS data to investigate in detail the co- and postseismic deformation mecha...

... In addition, although this is not specially emphasized, the standard vulnerability curve definition process is most often reduced to analyses of an idealised of systems with a single degree of freedom which can, from the engineering standpoint, hardly be applied to complex structural systems. This has recently been confirmed by the results of detailed experimental and numerical analyses for selected typical buildings in the city of Zagreb [63,64]. In fact, these results point to frequent deviations with respect to the preliminary assessments with simplified methods/models. ...

An overview of numerous methodologically different risk assessments, including sporadic individual initiatives, is presented from the perspective of a leading expert for earthquake risk assessments for Croatia. The aim of the paper is to evaluate and discuss contributions of each of the assessments, but also to caution about their deficiencies i.e. limitations. A common methodology for estimating seismic risk is described by analysing each of its factors, by providing an overview of current research in Croatia and worldwide, and by offering guidelines for further strategic actions, as all existing results reveal that earthquake is an unacceptable risk for Croatia.

This study investigated and classified typical structures in rural village and analyzed the vulnerability. Based on the statistics of earthquake damages with magnitudes above 5 from 1996 to 2013 in China, the damage matrixes of types of structures in rural village are obtained. The vulnerability index and equation of structure are crucial to assess the earthquake losses of typical structures under different magnitudes earthquakes. According to the seismic loss of different types of structures under different earthquake magnitudes, there are possible to improve the seismic resilience of the buildings in rural village. Moreover, the regional vulnerability is analyzed by β probability distribution function. The comprehensive seismic vulnerability index of different types of structures in rural villages is obtained. The main research is to predict the loss of different types of structures under different earthquake magnitudes in the future, and to provide technical support for types of buildings in rural village reinforcement.
