Abstract AR
تم إجراء دراسة زلزالية لموقع سد التون كوبري و المناطق المحيطة به بنصف قطر مقداره 100 كم لغرض تحديد مستوى النشاط الزلزالي في المنطقة.
لقد تعرضت المنطقة إلى 10 هزات تاريخية و بشدة تتراوح ما بين (IX-V) و تعرضت إلى حوالي 163 هزة حديثة بمقدار زلزالي يتراوح بين 5.9-1.1.
تم رسم خارطة مواقع البؤر الزلزالية لمنطقة الدراسة، الخارطة التكتونية و خارطة الظواهر الخطية و من مطابقة الخرائط وجد أن هنالك معظم مواقع الهزات الأرضية يتطابق مع الاتجاه العام لمحاور الطيات و مع الصدوع في منطقة الدراسة.
تم رسم خارطة تساوي الشدة الزلزالية لمنطقة الدراسة و وجد أن منطقة السد تقع ما بين الشدتين (5-6) درجة حسب مقياس ميركالي المعدل.
Abstract EN
A seismicity and seismotectonicstudy for a dam site located on latitude (35˚:48΄–35˚:50΄) degree North and longitude (44˚: 20΄) degree East was carried out.
The surrounding area within a circular area of radius 100 km was also included to determine the seismic activity.
It is found that the area was subjected to 10 historical events prior 1900 year with an intensity ranges (V-IX) degree and the area exposed to about 163 recent earthquakes with Ms = 1.1–5.9.
The maps of epicentral locations, tectonic features and lineaments of the study area were compiled and drawn.
Matching was carried out for these three maps and it is found that most of earthquake epicenters coincide with the main structural and tectonic phenomena at the dam site.
ISO–intensity map for the dam site was also drawn.
It is found that the dam site was located between (5 -6) degree earthquake intensity on MMI Scale.
