Seismic Hazard Sources of Manisa Nearby Region and Their Seismic Risk Evaluation for Manisa
Abstract
In the seismic risk assessments for the close vicinity of Manisa city center, it is assumed that earthquakes located further away from 100 km than the city center have negligible effects on the city center. So, 6 seismic sub-regions are considered in the analysis. The considered sub-regions have different seismotectonic characteristics and they are located in the close distance (≤100 km) to the city center. Gutenberg–Richter magnitude–frequency relations, recurrence periods and seismic risks have been computed for the sub-regions, separately. The data belonging to both the instrumental period (1900-2015) (mw≥4.0) and historical period before 1900 (I0 ≥5.0) has been used in the analysis. According to the results, a and b coefficients of the magnitude – frequency relations were computed in the intervals 3.36 ±0.13 – 4.90 ±0.41 and 0.45 ±0.02 – 0.68 ±0.07, respectively. Seismic source-to-site distance probability distributions were computed for the sub-regions. Source-to-site distance probability distributions indicate that earthquakes will occur within the 2, 4 and 5 sub-regions may have more destructive effects on Manisa city center than an earthquake will occur within the 1, 3 and 6 sub-regions.
