A history of Persian earthquakes
N. N. Ambraseys,Charles Melville +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a Transliteration Chronology of Iran with a focus on the earthquake history of Iran, including case histories and instrumental data from historical sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of horizontal response spectra in europe
TL;DR: In this paper, a large and uniform dataset is used to find equations for the prediction of absolute spectral acceleration ordinates in Europe and adjacent areas, in terms of magnitude, source-distance and site geology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faulting associated with historical and recent earthquakes in the Eastern Mediterranean region
N. N. Ambraseys,James Jackson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized evidence for surface faulting in historical and recent earthquakes in the Eastern Mediterranean region and in the Middle East and found 78 cases of faulting pre-1900 and 72 post-1900, some of which show that faults that have apparently been inactive this century had already ruptured before 1900.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equations for the Estimation of Strong Ground Motions from Shallow Crustal Earthquakes Using Data from Europe and the Middle East: Horizontal Peak Ground Acceleration and Spectral Acceleration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented equations for the estimation of horizontal strong ground motions caused by shallow crustal earthquakes with magnitudes Mw ≥ 5 and distance to the surface projection of the fault less than 100km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some characteristic features of the Anatolian fault zone
TL;DR: The study of the Anatolian fault zone shows that major earthquake sequences associated with faulting have been occurring in the zone since historical times with periods of quiescence of 150 years as discussed by the authors.
