  2. The Tectonic of the Carpathian Arch - Vrancea Area

  3. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Bucharest is one of the cities most affected by earthquakes in Europe. Situated at 150-170 km distance from Vrancea epicenter zone, Bucharest had suffered many damages due to high energy Vrancea intermediate-depth earthquakes. For example, the March 4, 1977 event (Mw =7.2) produced the collapse of 36 buildings with 8-12 levels,while more than 150 old buildings were seriously damaged. The ruptured area was at 140 km on Nov. 10,1940 Vrancea earthquake( Mw =7.7), 110 km on March 4,1977(Mw =7.4), 134 km on August 30,1986(Mw =7.1) and 85 km on May 30,1990(Mw =6.9) depth. The depth interval between 110 km and 130 km remains not ruptured since 1802, October 26, when it was the strongest earthquake occurred in this part of Central Europe. The magnitude is assumed to be Mw =7.9-8.0 and this depth interval is a naturalcandidate for the next strong Vrancea event. POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  6. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope ●Bucharest site amplifications by using very hard rock(VHR) and joint source site determination(JSSD) methods. (i)- methods that calculate the site response with respect to a reference site located on a hard rock(VHR) and, (ii)- methods that calculate the site response with respect to a reference site(JSSD), so called non-reference techniques. We used as reference sitea site located in Bucharest (INCERC) for which the geotechnical characteristics are known from the borehole existing in that place (thickness of the layers, velocity of the P and S waves, density). The procedure for obtaining the local amplification functions was the following  : (a)-selection of the S-wave windows of 10s length with good signal-to-noise ratio; (b)-computing the amplitude Fourier spectra for the horizontal components of the selected windows; (c)-modeling the amplitude Fourier spectra for the “Very Hard Rock” site; (d)-computing the ratio between the amplitude Fourier spectra of the horizontal components of earthquakes and the modeled amplitude Fourier spectra; (e)-computing the average ratio for each station.

  9. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Station INC(INCERC Bucharest)-only VHR Station BMG :JSSD & VHR Methods The amplification functions got by VHR and JSSD methods for K2 stations from Bucharest (The average- black color ;± 1 σ – red color) POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  10. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Result 1: From the VHR and JSSD analysis:for the stations situated downtown Bucharest (BGM, BST, BTM, BVC) the amplification functions show a decreasing tendency from small to high frequency. At stations BGM and BTM a well defined peak can be observed between 3 and 5 Hz. This reaches 2.6 units of amplitude at station BGM and respectively, 3.8 units at BTM. Station BAP indicates a high level of amplification (> 4 units) which is about constant for the considered frequency domain. This characteristic can be also found at the K2 stations located in the vicinity of Bucharest city (CIO, CNC, MOG, POP, STF) except for the station BMG where an increasing level of amplification is noticed at intermediate frequencies with a maximum of 3.3 units at 5.2 Hz; POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  11. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope ●Nonlinear Bucharest site amplifications by using spectral amplification factors (SAF) method. (SAF)a= Samax/amax ; (SAF)v = Svmax/vmax ; (SAF)d = Sdmax/dmax amax =ÿ(t)max ; vmax =x˙(t)max and dmax = x(t)max Vrancea-epicenter Bucharest-site POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  14. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Result 2: There is a strong nonlinear dependence of the spectral amplification factors of earthquake magnitude and site conditions (Marmureanu et al,2005). Dispersion of the SAF values for strong motion records in Bucharest (Mw>6) shows a certain stability of SAF values for each frequency domain discussed (0.005 - 1Hz: 3.5- 4.6; 0.005-2Hz: 2.8-3.8 ) which can be used in rapid estimation of the seismic response on the city area (Figure 5). The innovation is the nonlinear of SAF of magnitude POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  19. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Result 3. The variation of the peak acceleration from - 52 m depth to the surface at site Ecology Univ. for the two input horizontal ground motions (PGA=0.022g) recorded at -52 m in borehole during of Vrancea earthquake on Oct.27, 2004(Mw=6.0) is between 0.06 g and 0.10 g . This is consistent with the maximum values recorded in Bucharest for the earthquake on27.Oct. 2004 whose borehole recordings were used as input. We didn’t use amplification factors similar to those of Borcherdt; Result 4: The scattering of the amplifications between PGA recorded by deep ,shallow and surface/free field K2 sensors in Bucharest site was made obvious by measurements made in 6 boreholes with real data for last Vrancea earthquake on Oct.2004(MW =6.0). The ratio between surface sensors and deep ones is between 2.115 and 5.708. The average is 3.912. The innovation: for the first time we can see the nonlinear quantitative amplification between sensors placed at: -153 m, -78 m, -70 m, -68 m, -66 m and -52 m and surface sensors; POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  20. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope ●Frequency dependent PGA/PGV amplification analysis ● Observed distribution of macroseismic intensity during the large Vrancea earthquakes (November 10,1940, Mw = 7.7 and March 4,1977, Mw = 7.4). POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  22.

  24. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Result 5:The maps outline the following features: the general orientation of the isoaccelerations on the NE-SW direction, small value of accelerations in epicenter areas (0.1626 g) and areas with large values of accelerations situated far from the epicenter (0.314 g at 32 km ,in Focsani , August 30,1986,Mw =7.2) (Grecu,2008); Result 6: The average values of amplification can vary signifi-cantly from one region to another depending on the frequency range. The region “South-West” (Bucharest) the highest amplifications are in the range of 0.6 to 4Hz (Grecu et al, 2004). The region “South” shows almost the same amplification for frequencies greater than 1.0 Hz. The increase of amplification toward low frequencies ( region “South-West”) may be explained by the influence of the surface waves generated within the deep sediments of the Moesian platform.

Epicentres E(line AB) and I0(line A’B’) points corresponding to the four strong and major earthquakes (MGR 6.7) occurred in the last 69 years POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  28. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope The earthquake on August 30,1986 is used by us “control earthquake concept ” in all studies as it fulfils the following states: (i)-it was strong (Mw =7.2); (i)-it was recorded in a lot of seismic stations on Romanian territory; (iii)-the fall plan solutions are very closed (almost identically) to other Vrancea stronger earthquakes(Nov. 10, 1940; Mw =7.7 and March 4,1977;Mw =7.4) and with majority of earthquakes with moderate magnitudes (6.9 < Mw <7.2); (iv)-the depth of oh hypocenter (h≈131-143 km) is very close to medium value of all strong Vrancea earthquakes. Log I(X,Az)=Log I0X+Log (Ie /Ioe )Az +b(Az)Log[Re /f ( he )/RX / f(x) ]Az +[c log δ ]Az where:IOX is the maximum intensity of an earthquake at a depth h=x ; δ is the directivity factor of the rupture propagation in the focus ; c is the way how the directivity factor may influence the directivity of the seismic source ; Re = (Δ2 +he2 )1/2; RX=(Δ2 +x2 )1/2 ; Δ is the distance between the observation point of maximum macroseismic intensity. POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  29. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Result 8: By using the earthquake on Aug. 30,1986 as “control earthquake” it was obtained the “banana” shape of the attenuations curves family of the macroseismic intensity I (along the directions defined by azimuth Az), in the case of an Vrancea earthquake at a depth 80< x ≤ 160 km. The innovation part is the concept of “ control earthquake”. The isoseismal map of the maximum possible Vrancea earthquake(MGR=7.5) POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  30. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope ●Rapid magnitude determination for Vrancea early warning system. NIEP early warning system consists of several different parts: (i)-A dedicated acquisition system, algorithms to rapidly detect seismic events, (ii)-Algorithms that eliminate false detections and alarms and methods to estimate the earthquake magnitude and to send the warning to the users. All of these parts have to work automatically, in real time, without interruption for a long period of time. As a fit between maximum 1Hz low-pass filtered verticalacceleration and Mw magnitude, the following relation was assumed ( Marmureanu A.,2009): y=A1 e-x/t1 +y0 where A1=3.97902e-7 ; t1=-0.4029, y0=-9.69317e-4. This can be used to approximate very well earthquake magnitude in the first seconds after detection . The average absolute error is 0.271 magnitude degrees using all existing recorded data. This error is satisfactory, taking into account that the magnitude is computed on 4-5 seconds after P wave is detected in the epicenter area . POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  32. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Absolute error in magnitude estimation (|M computed – MROMPLUS|) for all recorded events at the three stations (MLR, VRI, PLOR) Result 9 / Novelty: The software developed by NIEP was tested at last Vrancea earthquake on April 25, 2009 when the magnitude (Mw =5.7) of the earthquake was computed in first 5 seconds and it was an accurate value. POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  33. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope ●Integrated of early warning system, alert, shake and disaster in disaster reduction and risk management Early warning system is viewed as part of an real-time information system that provide rapid information, about an earthquake impeding hazard, to the public and disaster relief organizations before (early warning) and after a strong earthquake (shake map). The USGS shake map software has been installed and modified for the Bucharest area.Two main problems have been encountered: first, the USGS software uses for site characterization VS-30 and second, the attenuation relationships implemented in the software are not valid for Vrancea earthquakes. By using USGS shake map software, we can see shake map for strong Vrancea earthquake on Nov.10,1940 (Mw =7.7) and March 4,1977(Mw=7.4) which differ totally from observed distribution of macroseismic intensity. Then, NIEP made the decision to use real data in real time. POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  36. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope The epicenter and the alert map The place of EWS, alert, shake and disaster maps in seismic risk management POTSDAM, GERMANY , June 3-5, 2009

  37. SAFER: Seismic eArly warning For EuRope Result 10 / Innovation: The innovation with comparable or related systems worldwide is that NIEP will use the EWS to generate a virtual shake map (alert map for Bucharest-140 km away of epicentre) immediately after the magnitude is estimated (in 4-5 seconds after the detection in epicentre) and later make corrections to construct real shake map by using real time dataflow from each K2 accelerometers installed in Bucharest area (42 K2 units), inclusively nonlinear effects, to generate shake map, in real time. Thus, developing of a near real-time shake map for Bucharest urban area is of highest interest, providing valuable information to the civil defense, decision makers and general public on the area where the ground motion is most severe.
