The low frequency of large destructive earthquakes in the Eastern Betics (SE Iberian Peninsula), not recorded instrumental seismic catalog, complicate estimation maximum ground motion that could be reached. Knowing characteristics and behavior these ruptures is crucial for study hazard. In this work, we have used a physics-based earthquake simulator to generate 100 kyr catalog associated with seismogenic faults bordering quaternary Guadalentin Bajo Segura basins. From ruptures, selected...
We present the earthquake potential characterisation of Alentejo-Plasencia Fault (APF) in intraplate area Iberian Peninsula. The APF displays clear deformation geomorphic surfaces and sediments Neogene younger age and, thus, we consider it to be active within current tectonic regime. fault slip rate values range from 0.01 0.1 mm/yr with a preferred value 0.05 mm/yr. Mw associated rupture ranges 6.6 8.7 using different segmentation models (segments ranging 20 500 km) various scaling...
This article presents an overview of the La Paca earthquake magnitude mbLg 4.7, which occurred on 29 January 2005, with its epicenter located near the town Avile´s in Murcia region southeast Spain. Despite low magnitude, the caused important damage two towns epicentral area, Paca and Zarcilla de Ramos. These areas recorded intensities VI–VII (European Macroseismic Scale, 1998) and sustained estimated economic losses amounting to 10 million €. Aftershocks continued for more than 2...
Cataclastic rocks, as clay-rich fault gouges, are commonly present in brittle rock masses when zones appear during geological engineering projects. Highly deformed rocks that of poor mechanical quality can lead to technical, safety, and economic problems engineering. The aim this study is characterise the resistant behaviour a highly gouge >40 m wide with marked tectonic fabric indicates strength anisotropy. We results consolidated-undrained (CU) triaxial tests were performed at low...
Abstract Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a remote sensing tool used for monitoring urban areas affected by geological hazards. Here we analysed the effectiveness of stabilization works on slow-moving landslide in Arcos de La Frontera (Cádiz, Spain) using persistent scatterer interferometric approach. The consisted jet grouting cement-based injections and were applied locally to stabilize most damaged neighbourhood. We processed large stack Sentinel-1 SAR satellite...
Land-use planning in regard of earthquake-triggered landslides is usually implemented by means the production hazard maps. The well-known Newmark rigid block methodology most frequent used approach for this purpose. In method, slope stability evaluated estimation displacement, which to set different categories hazard. This presents limitations due difficulty incorporating variability variables. For that reason, logic-tree has been order incorporate epistemic uncertainties and compute...
Abstract The fault gouge of the Alhama de Murcia (southeast Spain) shows a texture that resembles mylonite, including prominent foliation, S-C fabric, and isoclinal folds. It also embeds large number isolated pulverized quartz clasts (PQCs). Structural analysis indicates fabric was mainly developed by slow frictional sliding along phyllosilicate-lined Riedel shear bands during continued shearing. In contrast, PQCs show tensile fracture network features are typically reported in seismically...
The Guadiana Basin is an E-W intraplate Cenozoic basin located in SW of the Iberian Peninsula, covering area close to 6000 km2. NE-SW Alpine faults divide into two subbasins: Vegas Altas (VA) East, and Bajas (VB) West. Sedimentary record consists
The town of Arcos de la Frontera is a historical heritage ensemble located in Andalusia (SW Spain), perched on nearly vertical 100 m calcarenites cliff and surrounded by gentle slopes characterized being composed weathered clayey soil from the Guadalquivir Blue Marls formation. This formation, extensively present region, poses significant geotechnical challenges, particularly when weathered, exhibiting low strength parameters. Between end 20th beginning 21st century, underwent urban...
