Use of the mini-cone penetrometer for evaluating the liquefaction potential of sands associated with Charleston, S.C. seismic events
… in the Charleston area due to recurring large seismic events. In the course of this investigation 24 mini-cone penetration tests were performed at seven sites in or near the meizoseismal zone of the 1886 earthquake to determine the factors influencing ground failures due to liquefaction. These …

Common cyclicities in seismicity and water level fluctuations at the Charlevoix seismic zone of the St. Lawrence River
Intraplate seismicity has no widely accepted explanation for its origin. The Hydroseismicity hypothesis, developed by Costain and co-workers, suggests that natural increases in hydraulic head, caused by transient increases in water table elevation, can be transmitted to hypocentral depths (10-25 …

Source studies over a wide range in earthquake magnitude
… of Hokkaido Island, Japan. Within this active seismic region, over 11,100 events ranging in magnitude from 0 to 7.1 were cataloged by the Hokkaido University network in the period 1976-1986 with epicentral distances of less than 50 km from the Carnegie broadband station KMU. Two subsets of the …

ΣΥΜΒΟΛΗ ΣΤΗ ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΣΕΙΣΜΙΚΟΤΗΤΑΣ ΤΗΣ ΓΗΣ
IN THE PRESENT DISSERTATION, THE EARTH'S SEISMICITY IS STUDIED FOR TWO BASIC REASONS: A) TO COMPARE THE SEISMICITY OF VARIOUS REGIONS OF THE EARTH. B) TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE MOST ACCURATE DEFINITION OF THE LARGE SEISMOTECTONIC UNITS OF THEEARTH.
