SOME DATA CONCERNING SEISMIC MICROZONING OF BUCHAREST
(Abstract)
During the last fifty years three large intermediate-depth earthquakes occurred
in the Vrancea aregion, in 1940 (M = 7.4), 1977 (M = 7.2) and 1986 (M = 7.0).
The first two above-mentioned earthquakes have caused huge damage in Bucharest.
The 1986 earthquake has a particular importance due to the fact that it triggered
more than fifty strong motion accelerographs from the Romanian networks. The
paper attempts to review the available data concerning the effects of the mentioned
earthquakes in Bucharest and to compare them with the seismic microzoning maps.
Key words: intermediate-depth earthquake, seismic microzoning, strong motion.
