Ableitung der Magnitudengleichung für die Erdbebenstationen Wien und Graz und allgemeine Bemerkungen zur Magnitudenberechnung

Zusammenfassung Nach einer knappen Einführung in die Magnitudenberechnung wird über die Ableitung der Stationsgleichungen für Wien (12) und Graz (13) berichtet. Den Berechnungen lagen 158, bzw. 121 Erdbeben normaler Herdtiefe und von der GrößeM7,0 zugrunde. Für beide Stationskonstanten wurde der gleiche WertC=+0,15 gefunden. Die Tabelle 2 enthält 94 von beiden Stationen registrierte Erdbeben mit Angabe der UnterschiededM (=D) von Wien und Graz gegenüber denM-Werten von Pasadena.Verschiedene Schwierigkeiten, die bei der Aufstellung der maximalen Horizontalamplitude auftauchen können, werden besprochen und an Hand eines Beispieles (Tabelle 3) dargelegt. Ferner wird angedeutet, daß das letzte GliedD der Magnitudengleichung definitionsmäßig überlastet ist und daß eine Aufteilung nach den wirklich individuellen Eigenschaften und den Gruppeneigenschaften des Einzelbebens notwendig wäre. Alle Erdbeben aus einer bestimmten Region tragen gemeinsame Merkmale, jedes einzelne hat dazu einen eigenen Habitus.

Summary After a short introduction into the computation of magnitude we show the derivation of the respective equations for Vienna (12) and Graz (13). The basis of the computations were 158, 121 respectively, teleseisms of normal depth of focus and of the magnitudeM7.0. The same value was found for both station constants, namelyC=+0.15. Table 2 contains 94 earthquakes recorded at both stations, showing the differencesdM (=D) of Vienna and Graz, in comparison with theM-values of Pasadena.Various difficulties that can arise by establishing the total horizontal amplitude, are considered and discussed by means of an example (Table 3). Further we find that the last termD of the equation of magnitude is overcharged according to the definition, and that a separation according to the really individual qualities and to the group qualities of each earthquake would be necessary. All earthquakes from a certain area have specified qualities, and in addition each one shows a special behaviour of its own.

Résumé Après une introduction concise du calcul de magnitude on est informé sur les équations qui en dérivent et qui sont valables pour les stations de Vienne (12) et de Graz (13). Resp. 158 et 121 séismes d'une profondeur de foyer normale et de magnitudeM7.0 forment la base de ces calculs. Une valeur identiqueC=+0,15 a été trouvée comme constante des deux stations. Le tableau 2 contient 94 séismes, enregistrés par les deux stations, avec indication des différencesdM (=D) de Vienne et de Graz vis-à-vis des valeursM de Pasadena.Diverses difficultés qui peuvent surgir en établissant l'amplitude horizontale maximum, sont discutées et démontrées par un exemple (tableau 3). En outre on trouve que le dernier coefficientD de l'équation est «surchargé» selon la définition. Une distribution d'après les véritables qualités individuelles et d'après les qualités de groupe du séisme particulier serait nécessaire. Tous les séismes provenant d'une certaine région ont des propriétés communes, de plus chacun a son caractère particulier.

     

Principles of tabling

The mechanism of concentration on the shaking table is discussed and a fresh attempt is made to obtain the theoretical model describing the velocity of a fluid in depth and time when in contact with a symmetrically reciprocating surface.The significance of the many design and operational variables and their interrelationships are examined. The various areas where the shaking table plays its role are then considered.The relevant features of micropanner, superpanner and the subsequent macropanner and pulsepanner are also treated since they all, like the shaking table, have the differential motion in common.

Structural characteristics of zooplankton of the Shardarinskoe Reservoir and their use in water quality assessment

Data on the Shardarinskoe Reservoir are used to assess the indicator role of zooplankton community under unstable hydrological regime. The structural characteristics of zooplankton featured significant seasonal variations. The averaged indices characterized reservoir water quality at the level of mesotrophic and eutrophic water bodies. The possible use of cyclopidas to characterize toxic pollution of water is discussed.     

Fault structures and their geoelectric parameters in the epicentral zone of the 27 September 2003 Chuya earthquake (Gorny Altai) from resistivity data

This paper presents an integrated measurement technique based on DC methods (vertical electrical sounding, electrical resistivity tomography) which was used to identify faults and determine their geoelectric parameters in the western part of the Chuya basin. New information on the structure of the Chagan River valley located in the zone of the disastrous 27 September 2003 Chuya earthquake has been obtained from the results of these methods. Geoelectric cross-sections of the sedimentary sequence and the upper part of the basement were obtained from VES data, showing the block structure of the study area. Electrical resistivity tomography sections confirm the presence of a major fault between basement blocks of different heights and indicate the presence of faults bounding the valley on its right side and in the southwestern part.
