Post-paleocene Deformation In Kalecik Region, East Of Ankara, TurkeyKasimoglu, Pinar 01 May 2010 (has links) (PDF)
In order to understand the tectonic evolution of the Kalecik region
(Ankara, Turkey), a structural field study was performed in a selected
area located in the east of Kalecik, where mostly imbricated thrust sheets
of the Cretaceous Ophiolitic melange crop out. In the study area, the
Cretaceous Ophiolitic melange, Cretaceous radiolaria-bearing sequences
and the Paleocene units are all intruded by sub-vertical dykes. The
attitudes of planar structures (dykes, beds and faults) and the kinematic
data measured on faults were analyzed by using &ldquo / ROCKWORKS 2002&rdquo / and &ldquo / Angelier Direct Inversion Method (version 5.42)&rdquo / softwares,
respectively.
A major trend of NE-SW (045° / N) direction and relatively a post-Paleocene
&ndash / pre-Miocene age was determined for the dykes indicating an extension
in the NW-SE direction during post-Paleocene. The dykes cut bedded
units displaying a dominant set trending in WNW-ESE (297° / N) direction
and mostly dipping towards NE with moderate dip amounts. But at the
same time, the Upper Cretaceous units were observed as intensely folded, faulted and thrusted due to the compressional regime that acted
in Central Anatolia during Late Cretaceous. The angular difference
between the major trend of dykes and the dominant trend of stratification
was found as approximately 108° / ., which may also indicate that the
dykes and beds were evolved during different deformation periods.
The results of the kinematic analyses of different age faults revealed that
the post-Paleocene &ndash / pre-Miocene Kalecik basaltic dykes are deformed
under a continuous NW-SE-oriented post-Paleocene compressional to
strike-slip tectonic regime which was followed by a NNW-SSE oriented
post-Miocene extensional-transtensional regime.

Fault plane structure of the 1995 Antofagasta Earthquake (Chile) derived from local seismological parametersSobiesiak, Monika January 2004 (has links)
Fault planes of large earthquakes incorporate inhomogeneous structures. This can be observed in teleseismic studies through the spatial distribution of slip and seismic moment release caused by the mainshock. Both parameters are often concentrated on patches on the fault plane with much higher values for slip and moment release than their adjacent areas. These patches are called asperities which obviously have a strong influence on the mainshock rupture propagation. Condition and properties of structures in the fault plane area, which are responsible for the evolution of such asperities or their significance on damage distributions of future earthquakes, are still not well understood and subject to recent geo-scientific studies.
<br><br>
In the presented thesis asperity structures are identified on the fault plane of the M<sub>w</sub>=8.0 Antofagasta earthquake in northern Chile which occurred on 30th of July, 1995. It was a thrust-type event in the seismogenic zone between the subducting pacific Nazca plate and the overriding South American plate. In cooperation of the German Task Force for Earthquakes and the CINCA'95 project a network of up to 44 seismic stations was set up to record the aftershock sequence. The seaward extension of the network with 9 OBH stations increased significantly the precision of hypocenter determinations. They were distributed mainly on the fault plane itself around the city of Antofagasta and Mejillones Peninsula.
<br><br>
The asperity structures were recognized here by the spatial variations of local seismological parameters; at first by the spatial distribution of the seismic b-value on the fault plane, derived from the magnitude-frequency relation of Gutenberg-Richter. The correlation of this b-value map with other parameters like the mainshock source time function, the gravity isostatic residual anomalies, the aftershock radiated seismic energy distribution and the vp/vs ratios from a local earthquake tomograhpy study revealed some ideas about the composition and asperity generating processes. The investigation of 295 aftershock focal mechanism solutions supported the resulting fault plane structure and proposed a 3D similar stress state in the area of the Antofagasta fault plane. / Die Bruchflaeche grosser Erdbeben umfasst inhomogene Strukturen, die bisher hauptsaechlich in teleseismischen Untersuchungen nachgewiesen werden konnten. Haeufig werden begrenzte Bereiche auf einer Bruchflaeche beobachtet, die durch eine starke Konzentration des freigesetzten seismischen Moments und durch grosse Dislokationen gekennzeichnet sind. Diese Bereiche werden als 'asperities' bezeichnet, die offensichtlich starken Einfluss auf den Bruchverlauf des Hauptbebens ausueben. Beschaffenheit und Eigenschaften der Strukturen in einem Herdgebiet, die verantwortlich sind fuer die Bildung solcher 'asperities' und deren eventueller Bedeutung fuer Schadensverteilungen in zukuenftigen Erdbeben, sind Gegenstand aktueller geowissenschaftlischer Untersuchungen.
<br><br>
In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden 'asperity'-Strukturen auf der Bruchflaeche des M<sub>w</sub>=8.0 Antofagasta Erdbebens vom 30. Juli 1995 im Norden Chiles identifiziert. Es handelt sich hierbei um ein typisches Subduktionsbeben mit Aufschiebungscharakter, das in der seismogenen Zone zwischen der abtauchenden pazifischen Nazca-Platte und der ueberschiebenden suedamerikanischen Platte stattfand. Durch die Zusammenarbeit der Deutschen Task Force fuer Erdbeben und dem sich waehrend des Bebens bereits vor Ort befindlichen CINCA '95 Projektgruppe, konnte ein bis zu 44 Stationen umfassendes seismologisches Netzwerk zur Registrierung der Nachbeben errichtet werden. Vor allem die seeseitige Erweiterung des Netzes durch 9 OBH Stationen trug zur hohen Praezision der Hypozentrenbestimmung der Nachbeben bei, die sich hauptsaechlich auf der Bruchflaeche und damit im Kuestenbereich um die Stadt Antofagasta und der noerdlich gelegenen Halbinsel Mejillones verteilten.
<br><br>
Die 'asperity'-Strukturen konnten mittels raeumlicher Variationen von lokalen seismologischen Parametern erkannt werden; zunaechst durch die Verteilung des seimologischen b-Wertes auf der Bruchflaeche aus der Magnituden-Haeufigkeitsbeziehung von Gutenberg-Richter. Durch die Korrelation dieser Verteilung mit Parametern wie der Momentenrate aus dem Hauptbeben, der isostatischen Restanomalien des Gravitationsfeldes, der Verteilung der abgestrahlten seismischen Energie durch die Nachbeben und der vp/vs-Verhaeltnisse aus einer lokalen Erdbebentomographie konnten Rueckschluesse auf die Beschaffenheit und damit den Bildungsprozess der asperities gezogen werden. Die Untersuchung der Herflaechenloesungen die fuer 295 Nachbeben bestimmt wurden, ergab eine indirekte Bestaetigung der gefundenen Strukturen und wies auf die Existenz eines 3D Spannungszustands im Bereich der Bruchflaeche des Antofagasta Bebens hin.

Neotectonics And Seismicity Of The Ankara Region: A Case Study In The Urus AreaKaplan, Tulin 01 July 2004 (has links) (PDF)
Study area, the UruS province, is located 70 km WNW of city of
Ankara. Major settlements in the study area are two counties, UruS and
Gü / dü / l / and there are a number of villages, such as, from W to E, Macun,
Yogunpelit, Kabaca, Ü / regil, Ö / zkö / y, Tahtaciö / rencik, Kirkkavak, Kavakö / zü / ,
Kayi and Karacaö / ren. The study area is 189 km2 in size and included in
1/25000-scaled topographic quadrangles of H28a3, a4, d1 and d2. The Gü / dü / l-
UruS section of the Ç / eltikç / i morphotectonic depression (Ç / eltikç / i Basin)
drained by the Antecedent Kirmir River and its second-order drainage
system was first mapped in detail in the present study, and faults determining
northern margin of the Ç / eltikç / i depression were named as the UruS fault set
comprising the SW part of the Ç / eltikç / i Fault Zone / and the mechanism of the
master fault of the UruS fault set was determined as left lateral oblique-slip
fault with reverse component by the morphologic markers such as the
deformed drainage system and pressure ridges. This was also supported by
the fault plane solutions of the 2000.08.22 UruS earthquake.
Three fault plane solutions, of which two of them for the 2000.08.22
UruS earthquake, and one of them for the 2003.02.27 Ç / amlidere earthquake,
were done to determine nature of the source.
Ground material underlying the city of Ankara were divided into three
categories: (a) well-lithified basement rocks, (b) Pliocene fluvio-lacustrine
v
sedimentary sequence, and (c) unconsolidated terrace and alluvial
sediments of Quaternary age. Quaternary unconsolidated sediments are
densely populated in Ankara. These sediments are fine-grained and have a
maximum thickness of 200 m or more. Inside these sediments, static ground
water level is very close (as on average: 6 m) to ground surface. These
conditions are quite suitable for liquefaction of these unconsolidated alluvial
sediments. In addition, basement rocks are full of zone of weakness. Even if,
the city of Ankara is characterized by the shallow focus and small
earthquakes (M& / #8804 / 5), it is open to the risk of large earthquakes to be sourced
from the North Anatolian Fault System and the Seyfe Fault Zone located 110
km and 80 km, respectively, owing the ground material conditions beneath
the city of Ankara. This point has to be taken out in constructions and site
selection solution.

Investigation of the Pre to Post Peak Strength State and Behaviour of Confined Rock Masses Using Mine Induced MicroseismicityCoulson, Adam Lee 01 March 2010 (has links)
As hard rock mining progresses into higher stress mining conditions through either late stage extraction or mining at depth, the rock mass is driven not just to the peak strength, but often well into the post-peak until complete ‘failure’ occurs and easier mining conditions become evident. Limited research has been accomplished in identifying the transition of the rock mass and its behaviour into the post-peak and this research investigates this behaviour in detail. As the rock mass progressively fails, fractures are initiated through intact rock and extension and shear failure of these and pre-existing features occurs. Associated with this failure are microseismic events, which can be used to give an indication of the strength state of the rock mass. Based on an analogy to laboratory testing of intact rock and measurement of acoustic emissions, the microseismicity can be used to identify, fracture initiation, coalescence of fractures (yield), localization (peak-strength), accumulation of damage (post-peak) and ultimate failure (residual strength) leading to aseismic behaviour. The case studies presented in this thesis provide an opportunity to examine and analyse rock mass failure into the post-peak, through the regional and confined failures at the Williams and the Golden Giant mines, both in the Hemlo camp in Northern Ontario, Canada. At the Williams mine, the progressive failure of a sill pillar region into the post-peak was analysed; relating the seismic event density, combined with numerical modelling and a spatial and temporal examination of the principal components analysis (PCA), to characterize the extent, trend and state of the yielding zone, which formed a macrofracture shear structure. Observations of conventional displacement instrumentation, indicates regional dilation or shear of the rock mass occurs at or prior to the point of ‘disassociation’ (breakdown of stable PCA trends) when approaching the residual strength. At the Golden Giant mine, the complete process from initiation to aseismic behaviour is monitored in a highly stressed and confined pendent pillar. The PCA technique, numerical modelling and focal mechanism studies are used to define significant stages of the failure process, in which a similar macrofracture structure was formed. Temporal observations of key source parameters show significant changes prior to and at the point of coalescence and localization.

Previous issue date: 2010-08-03 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The town of Sobral is located at the northwest part of the Cear? State, 250 km away from its
capital, Fortaleza. In January 2008, an intense seismic activity began near Sobral with one
event with magnitude 4,2mb on May 21. Since the start of its seismic activity, all events
were recorded by the SBBR station (located on EMBRAPA Caprinos Farm), which operates
in the region since August 2007. After this event, monitoring the seismic activity was
carried out with the deployment of a local three component digital seismographic network,
from June 5, 2008 until September 24. Initially, this network was composed of six
seismographic stations. Later additional five stations were deployed until August 26 2008.
This local network detected approximately 2,800 earthquakes. In this study we analyzed 581
earthquakes recorded by at least three stations for hypocentral and focal mechanism
determination, and to contribute to a better explanation of the seismicity which in this
region. To determine the hypocenters, we used a half-space model, with vP = 6,00 km/s and
vP/vS = 1,71. From the hypocentral determination, it was revealed an active seismic zone
with depth ranging between 1 and 8 km, 6 km long in E - W direction. The determination of
fault planes and focal mechanism was obtained using the programs FPFIT and PLAN,
which allowed comparison between their respective results in order to obtain more accurate
results. A set of 24 earthquakes were selected to determine fault using PLAN planes and
focal mechanisms using FPFIT. With the aid of detailed map of hypocenters this set, it was
possible to identify three structures. Therefore, the set of 24 earthquakes were divided into
three subsets. The type of mechanism was predominantly strike-slip with a dextral direction.
Although the region has two tectonic structures near the site of the study area: the Caf?-
Ipueiras Fault (normal fault) and the Sobral-Pedro II Lineament (dextral strike-slip fault) it
was not possible to correlate the seismicity founded with those structures / A cidade de Sobral est? localizada na por??o Noroeste do estado do Cear?, a 250 km de sua
capital, Fortaleza. No in?cio de 2008, uma intensa atividade s?smica iniciou-se nas
proximidades de Sobral, ocorrendo no dia 21 de maio, o evento com a maior magnitude
registrada na regi?o (4,2 mb). Todos os eventos, desde o in?cio, foram registrados pela
esta??o SBBR, localizada na fazenda da EMBRAPA Caprinos, que opera na regi?o desde
agosto de 2007. Ap?s o evento de maio de 2008, o monitoramento da sismicidade foi
realizado com uma rede sismogr?fica local, com in?cio de opera??o no dia 5 de junho de
2008. Inicialmente, esta rede foi constitu?da de 6 esta??es sismogr?ficas digitais, sendo
depois preenchida com mais 5, totalizando 11 esta??es digitais, cada uma com 3
componentes. A rede com at? 11 esta??es sismogr?ficas operou entre o dia 6 de junho e 24
de setembro de 2008, detectando cerca de 2820 sismos, em pelo menos uma esta??o. No
presente trabalho foram analisados os 581 sismos registrados, no m?nimo, em tr?s esta??es,
objetivando a determina??o de hipocentros, mecanismos focais e contribuir para uma
melhor compreens?o da sismicidade ocorrida na regi?o Noroeste do Cear?. Para a
determina??o hipocentral, a partir da an?lise dos 581 eventos registrados pela rede, foram
obtidos como par?metros do modelo de velocidades, 1,71 para VP/VS e 6.00 km/s para VP,
possibilitando encontrar uma zona s?smica ativa com profundidade variando de 1,1 km a 7,8
km e com 6 km de extens?o horizontal na dire??o aproximada E-W. A determina??o dos
planos de falha e mecanismos focais foi obtida com o aux?lio dos programas PLAN e
FPFIT, possibilitando a utiliza??o dos resultados do primeiro para ajudar a melhor definir o
mecanismo focal, obtido com o programa FPFIT. Para obter os par?metros dos planos de
falha e mecanismos focais, foi selecionado um conjunto de 24 sismos com melhor precis?o
hipocentral. Com estes sismos, foi poss?vel construir um mapa detalhado dos seus
hipocentros, visando obter aux?lio na identifica??o do tipo de mecanismo focal. Os
mecanismos obtidos foram do tipo transcorrente, com movimento dextral. Apesar de a
regi?o possuir duas importantes estruturas tect?nicas pr?ximas ao local da ?rea estudada: a
falha Caf?-Ipueiras e o Lineamento Sobral-Pedro II, n?o foi poss?vel obter correla??o entre
a sismicidade encontrada e qualquer uma dessas fei??es geol?gicas
