Influence of geological factors on seismic ground-motions (seismic microzoning of Prague)

Summary Seismic microzoning of Prague was performed using geological data and seismic response (ground shaking) computations. The Prague territory was covered by a square grid, each square 250 m×250 m being characterized by a simplified geological cross-section from the Earth's surface to the bedrock boundary. The data were obtained from detailed engineering-geological maps 1:5000. The geological cross-sections were transformed into a set of layered models, specified by the thicknesses of individual layers and corresponding compressional and shear-wave velocities, densities and parameters of the causal absorption. The seismic responses were computed by the matrix method. The main amplitude and frequency characteristics of the responses are demonstrated in the form of microzoning maps. The maps do not depend on the specific type of seismic excitation. They make it possible to predict the relative amplification of P and S waves, with respect to the bedrock outcrop, all over the city.     

Amplitude curves ofP waves for the region of central Asia

Summary The amplitude-distance curves of P waves, valid for the region of Central Asia, were derived in the distance range between 13° and 36° using observations of a network of eight Caucasian seismic stations. The curves are characterized by an anomalous increase of amplitudes between 13° and 20° followed by a large decrease of amplitudes in the distance range between 20° and 35°. Both the increase and decrease of amplitudes are interrupted by several local maxima. A comparison of the present amplitude curves with those derived for the regions of South-Eastern Europe and Asia Minor enabled us to correlate the individual local maxima of amplitude curves and to investigate the variation of their position due to the lateral inhomogeneity of the upper mantle structure in Eurasia.A.

Conditions of generation of a stationary dipole magnetic field

Summary With the aid of the selected spherical model the conditions of generation of a stationary magnetic dipole field in a fluid electrically conducting spherical region, bounded by an outer unconducting region, are derived. It is assumed that there exist turbulent motions in the conducting medium, as well as differential rotation. The induction MHD equation is solved under appropriate boundary conditions. It was found that a stationary dipole field may only be generated at a certain positive value of the coefficient G which characterizes the geometric and physical parameters of the conducting region. If this coefficient is zero, the amplitudes of the magnetic fields decrease exponentially with time.     

Elastic properties of garnet solid-solution series

The elastic constants of sixteen garnet specimens of wide variety in chemical composition are accurately determined by means of the rectangular parallelpiped resonance method. The dependence of the elastic properties on chemical composition is analyzed using the present data and those for seven garnets investigated by other authors. The property X_i of a garnet solid solution i is given by a linear addition law in terms of the mole fraction n_ij of component j; X_i = Σn_ijX_j where the X_j's are the properties of the end-members j (j = pyrope, almandine, spessartine, grossular and andradite). The X_j's are determined for density ρ, bulk modulus K, and shear moduli C_s = (C₁₁ ? C₁₂)/2 and C₄₄. No systematic deviation is observed from the linear addition law for the elastic moduli nor for other quantities such as the elastic wave velocities. The extrapolated elastic moduli (Mbar) of the end-members are:
