Earthquake

- is a physical phenomena that is a consequence of

processes that lead to accumulation of energy in

limited space in the Earth interior and to its sudden

release if energy size exceeds physical material limits

(stress limit, phase transition limit),

- is observed as vibrations of the Earth's surface of a

different intensity,

- causes harms and losses on human assets, i.e.

human lives and health, property, infrastructures and

environment. Greek philosopher Aristotle classified earthquake

into 6 categories according to observed Earth ´s surface

movements. Chinese scientist Chan Chen constructed instrument

for earthquake registration in 132 AD.

Seismology – science dealing with earthquakes

Seismic engineering – the discipline the aim of which

is to construct infrastructures and buildings resistant to

earthquake and similar phenomena impacts and by this

way to protect human lives and health and human

property.

Seismicity – general term.

Instrumental seismology – half of 19th century.

1897 – mathematical theory of the P (longitudinal –

primary), S (transversal – secondary) a L (surface) waves

Physical models of earthquake – rheology.

Earthquakes – enable the Earth's interior research

(Earth's crust, mantle, external core, internal core and its

parts).

Recorded seismic events:

• natural earthquakes,

• induced earthquakes – man-made, induced by human activities

• artificial explosions,

• vibrations of natural or artificial origin – consequences of technological processes and natural phenomena as fall of meteorites, aircrafts, bombs etc.

Tsunami - waves on sea induced by earthquake the focus

of which is under the sea bottom.

Mikroseisms – permanent Earth's surface vibration.

Natural earthquakes are of:

• tectonic origin (90%),

• volcanic origin (7%),

• collapse of underground spaces (3%)

The most harms and losses on human assets are caused by

tectonic earthquakes.

Induced (man-made) earthquakes – artificially triggered

seismicity

• cause - the perturbation of the underground mechanical equilibrium, due

to industrial activities (mining, dams, geothermal, hydrocarbon reservoirs),

induce deformation of involved sites,

• located in different tectonic settings,

• types:

* reservoir - induced seismicity - e.g. Lake Kremasta in Greece 1966,

* rockbursts – mining – rockfalls, shaking, bumps, outbursts (methane

release),

* seismicity triggered by injection of fluids into rocks - special

technology of mining,

* seismicity triggered by withdrawn of fluids from surface formations –

special technology of mining,

* earthquakes stimulated by seismic vibration signals - special

technology of mining,

* stimulated by artificial explosions (mining regions, test sites).

Empirical relations derived for Europe, M = 4.5 – 7.4, shallow

earthquakes:

log Mo = (9.95 0.24)+(1.40 0.14) M

Seismogram: P vlny – 6 km/s; S vlny – 3.3 km/s; L vlny – 3 km/s

Length of time interval between P and S inputs depends on

epicentral distance and recording place.

With increase of epicentral distance the seismogram

complexity increase as a consequence of recording the

reflected, surface and other wave types.

The earthquake foci mostly concentrate to regions

that we called “focal provinces – zones, regions”.

The boundary of focal provinces are defined as a

boundary that surrounds:

• all known earthquake foci occurring in the historical time

and in the case when there are the reliable evidence on pre-

historical foci from the research of paleoseismicity, so the

boundary also includes those,

• the region in which the earthquakes with the same

characteristics of seismic regime occur,

• the region with the same geological, tectonic and recent

movements characteristics.

Map of focal regions and regions with diffuse seismicity

Page 54: Principles of the Seismology and Seismic Engineering · Seismology – science dealing with earthquakes Seismic engineering – the discipline the aim of which is to construct infrastructures

Findings from research of earthquakes :

1. From earthquake foci space distribution it follows that earthquake foci

are mostly connected with faults.

2. In recent period only certain parts of faults are seismoactive, namely

in both, the vertical and the horizontal plane.

3. Earthquakes often originate on fault crossing. Mostly one of the fault

is preferred in historical time form earthquake occurrence viewpoint.

4. In some cases after strong earthquake connected with one fault

system it follows earthquake connected with other fault system – they

have different characteristics.

5. Isoseismal form in epicentral zone depends on fault-plane

mechanisms, in distance zone on material properties –

boundary r 2.5 h.

6. Isoseismal surface sizes depends directly on earthquake size and

focal depth and indirectly on intensity attenuation.

Page 55: Principles of the Seismology and Seismic Engineering · Seismology – science dealing with earthquakes Seismic engineering – the discipline the aim of which is to construct infrastructures

Seismic regime of focal zones:

• is variable in time and space,

• has a certain prevailing character in each focal zone,

• is described by:

* Benioff´s graphs,

* occurrence frequency,

* earthquake group types,

* space-time foci distribution,

* strong earthquake foci migration sometimes,

• in short term viewpoint is determined by value of stress

drop:

high - low value of the highest aftershock and low number

of aftershocks,

low - high value of the highest aftershock and great

number of aftershocks.

E – energy

t – time

Page 57: Principles of the Seismology and Seismic Engineering · Seismology – science dealing with earthquakes Seismic engineering – the discipline the aim of which is to construct infrastructures

Frequency graph – distribution of earthquake number

according to earthquake size – usually it is used the cumulative

frequency in which the sum starts at the biggest earthquake

Page 58: Principles of the Seismology and Seismic Engineering · Seismology – science dealing with earthquakes Seismic engineering – the discipline the aim of which is to construct infrastructures

Maximum Possible Earthquake in focal zone

• predetermined by physical focal zone condition,

• ways of determination:

* sum of size of maximum observed earthquake in the

historical time and 1 MSK-64,

* extrapolation of oscillations of the Benioff`s graph,

* curvature of magnitude – frequency graph in the

range of strong earthquakes,

* correlation of maximum observed earthquake with a

seismic activity defined for the selected level of

earthquake activity,

* theory of extreme values,

* correlation of maximum earthquake size with a fault

length,

* geodynamic factors.

Disasters – Hazard Risk - Emergency

Contexts:1. Human system is open dynamic system in which there are processes, actions,

phenomena and events the sources of which there are inside and outside of system.

The disasters are their results.

2. The disaster occurrence in a certain site and time causes in dependence on disaster

size and physical nature, and on amount and vulnerability of protected interests in a

given site the looses, damages and harms on protected interests, i.e. emergency.

At management there is necessary to distinguish

Protection principles

1. To distinguish causes (phenomena) and

consequences (events, emergency situations)

Earthquake = Disaster

From safety viewpoint: Causes are characterized by quantity hazard.

Consequences are characterized by quantity risk.

Page 68: Principles of the Seismology and Seismic Engineering · Seismology – science dealing with earthquakes Seismic engineering – the discipline the aim of which is to construct infrastructures

2. For human protection we must protect

public assets and to consider all disasters,

i.e. so called „ALL HAZARD APPROACH“

Page 69: Principles of the Seismology and Seismic Engineering · Seismology – science dealing with earthquakes Seismic engineering – the discipline the aim of which is to construct infrastructures

6. The effectiveness of measures and activities

is different.

The most effective measures and activities by that we

can avert the disaster occurrences and mitigate their

impacts are preventive measures (procurators), the

effectiveness of which is the following:

1. Technical measures use in the area of land-use

planning - about 60 - 80%.

2. Population education and training - about 20 - 30%.

3. Emergency and crisis management (strategic

planning)-about 25 - 40%.

4. Installation of warning and alarm systems - about 9

- 40%.

State safety management system ensuring the

disaster protection in the EU and its Member States:

1. Guarantees the protection of human lives and health,

property, environment and technical infrastructure.

2. Considers all relevant disasters with possible occurrence

on its territory and against relevant disasters it carries out

the prevention and preparedness with regard to their

impacts.

3. Forms the professional base, managerial structure,

efficient forces, means, substances and sources to ensure

protection of human lives and health, property,

environment and of the state.

4. Forms the professional base, managerial structure,
