Economic Decision Making

By making use of published data on the risks of earthquake occurrence in New Zealand, and on the risks of structural failure in the event of an earthquake occurring, a method is developed for estimating the risks of structural failure due to earthquakes. These risks are compared with the provisions of the New Zealand national building code, and with other risks which are accepted in daily life. Their use in economic decision making is illustrated.

Possible systematic variations in earthquake occurrence and fluctuations in seismicity behaviourof two seismically active regions in Greece which share common seismotectonic properties, is the aim of this study. Mygdonia graben in northern Greeceis characterized by arather moderate background seismicity, with small earthquakes between 2008-2012 whereas Corinth Gulf in southern Greeceexhibits a constantly high seismicity rate with several seismic activations during the recent instrumental period or before. The statistical approach of seismicity was accomplished, regardingthe magnitude, the inter-event time and distance for recent seismicity as a tool to quantify complex earthquake occurrence ordense spatial andtemporal clustering. For this reason, complete catalogues were compiled for the time period of the study. Probabilistic tests such as the smoothed bootstrap test for modality and bump–hunt were employed in order to unveil the complexity of the probability density function distribution of the above parameters. On the other handspatial earthquake distribution wasalso investigated under the frameof their fractal properties since the fractal coefficientcan largely express the clustering degree of seismicity. The goal of this stochasticanalysisis the quantification of the differentiationin seismicity propertiesinthese two important seismogenic normal fault populations in the back arc Aegean area.

Earthquake Data

Owing to Iraq's unique geographic location (29-38.5 N;39-49 E) the eastern and northeastern parts of the country are directly influenced by the seismic activity of the Tauros-Zagros tectonic zones. An earthquake data file containing nearly 550 entries covering the period 1905-1984 is compiled and an analysis of completeness is performed using Stepp's (1973) model. It is observed that the file is complete for 4.8 Ms and greater over the whole 80-year sample of data while during the past 25 years this threshold drops to about 4.1 Ms. The “completed” data file is then employed in re-evaluating the magnitude-frequency formula for the country. To further investigate the problem of earthquake occurrence a simple statistical treatment is applied to a “constant-b” seismicity model whereby an increase in the frequency of occurrence of approximately 35% is identified in the latter half of the seismic history of the country.
