Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Reconnaissance of the November 12, 1999, Duzce, Turkey Earthquake

1999年11月12日，土耳其Duzce-Bolu地区在阿塔扎里以东70公里、安卡拉西北170公里处发生7.2级地震，造成广泛的破坏和人员伤亡。这次地震发生在北安纳托利亚断层上，这是一条走滑断层，与加利福尼亚州的圣安德烈亚斯断层有许多相似之处。这次行动为地震后不久派遣的侦察小组提供了部分支持，以尽可能详细地记录这次地震的岩土、工程地质/地震学和海啸特征。该小组与来自土耳其、日本和美国的其他侦察小组进行协调。与所有震后侦察调查一样，预计土耳其这次地震将获得重要记录和数据。从科学的观点来看，这些大地震就像是全尺寸的实验，不能通过实验室或现场的控制实验来复制。正是通过快速反应侦察工作，才能恢复这些事件的大部分短暂数据，并将其用于进一步减少地震灾害。这项调查的结果预计将产生有助于该行业了解大规模走滑断层系统对城市化和工业区的影响的信息和数据。这是一个多机构奖项，涉及加州大学伯克利分校和南加州大学。

Abstract0075752A magnitude 7.2 earthquake occurred on November 12, 1999 in the area of Duzce-Bolu, Turkey, 70 km east of Adapazari and 170 km northwest of Ankara, resulting in extensive damage, injuries and loss of life. This earthquake occurred along the North Anatolian fault, a strike slip fault that has many similarities to the San Andreas fault in California.This action provides partial support for a reconnaissance team that was dispatched shortly after the earthquake to document the geotechnical, engineering geology/seismology, and tsunamigenic features of this earthquake in as much detail as possible. This team coordinated with other reconnaissance teams from Turkey, Japan and the United States.As with all post-earthquake reconnaissance investigations, it is expected that vital records and data will become available as a result of this earthquake in Turkey. From a scientific viewpoint, these large earthquakes act as full-scale experiments that cannot be duplicated via controlled experiments in the laboratory or in the field. It is through quick response reconnaissance efforts that the mostly-ephemeral data from these events can be recovered and used to further advances in earthquake hazard mitigation. The results from this investigation are expected to yield information and data that will help the profession to understand the effects of large-scale strike slip fault systems on urbanized and industrial areas.This is a multi-institutional award involving the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Southern California.
