Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA New Viewpoint for Seismotectonic ZoningReza Derakhshani, Seyed Saeed EslamiProblem statement: Seismotectonic zoning has always been used to get access to intracontinental seismic deformation whereas zoning is not enough reliable in regard with small-scale studies. Approach: This research presents a theoretical model on the basis of plate tectonic theory to introduce a new approach to conduct zoning in terms of seismic deformation. Results: The result of this research not … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractShort Period Spectral Acceleration Zonation of Tehran a Comparison between Slip and Activity Rates Data’sHadi Jarahi, Noushin Naraghiaraghi, Malihe NadalianThis study presents seismic hazard analysis and provides spectral iso acceleration maps based on slip rate (SR) and also activity rate (AR) of the faults. Nowadays modern seismic design of structures is complicated so special attention to the nature of the seismicity in active seismic zones like Tehran is required. Many studies, based on seismic hazard analysis have been done … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2016 · 8,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractActive Faulting and Quaternary Landforms Deformation Related to the Nain FaultAbolghasem Gourabi, Mojtaba YamaniProblem statement: Landforms developed across terrain defining boundary the Nain fault have imprints of recent tectonic activity in the west region of Central Iran. Depositional landforms such as alluvial fans bear signatures of later phases of tectonic activity in the form of faulting of alluvial fan deposits and development of fault traces and scarps within 100 km long and a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 2 Nov 2011 · 7,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review of Covering Arrays and Their Application to Software TestingBestoun S. Ahmed, Kamal Z. ZamliProblem statement: As a complex logic system, software may suffer from different source of faults. Those faults can be avoided by applying different testing processes. It appears recently that the interaction among the system factors represents a common source of faults. Software function properly, all input factors and their interactions of the software need to be tested i.e., exhaustive testing. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 23 Jul 2011 · 8,707 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Changing Drainage Basin System with Tectonic Forms, Case Study: Lut Block, IranEbrahim MoghimiThe study area locates in the east of Iran and it is morphologic block (unit). Problem statement: Sharp contrasts in the appearances of landscapes such as drainage basins with litology (kind of rock), tectonic regime, folding and climatic effect had been inspired geomorphologies in the past and now to devise schemes to explain those contrasts. These contrasts also remained and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLiquefaction Susceptibility in the Northern Provinces of ThailandSupot Teachavorasinskun, Pichai Pattararattanakul, Pulpong PongvithayapranuProblem statement: There are quite a few active faults recently found in the western and northern parts of Thailand, which could possibly induce earthquakes of magnitude (ML) of 5.5-6.5. Although seismic design code has been enforced in the area since 1980, the fundamental knowledge on dynamic soil behavior has not been extensively attained. Approach: Collection of existing borehole information in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 11th February, 2004 Earthquake of The Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-ZoubiThe Dead Sea fault system and its branching faults represent one of the most tectonically active regions in the Middle East. The present investigation emphasis on the recent earthquake swarm, which occurred at the end of 2003 and extended to the middle of July 2004 with critical examination on the strongest event of 11th Feb. 2004. The present study examines … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,726 accessesView PDFCite
