Wind data were obtained from the recorded data at Tehran meteorology organization. This data was recorded at an interval of 3 hrs at 10 m height above the ground level. Using weibull distribution function, discontinuous wind data were substituted. This substitution has been applied through least square feet after computing weibull parameters C & K. Wind date were changed at 10 m height to 50 m by applying one seventh power law (50 m is the most height of turbines axis) and characteristics of both wind speed and wind power in each height has been computed. Due to wind power density equals 292.63 and 583.29 w/m2 at 10 and 50 m height respectively, average wind speed equals 17.42 m/s at 50 m height, wind existence equals 7438.5 h/y, probability of wind blowing in the wind existence hours with speeds between 3 to 25 m/s equals 0.95, most probability of wind speed equals 7.77 m/s, the result show that Rafsanjan synoptic station is an ideal place having high wind energy potential. Application of wind energy at this synoptic station with automatic turbines working at the speed of 3 m/s at 50 m height axis and above has been economically efficient. Keywords: Wind energy potential; Wind turbine; Weibull This project attempts to discover not only potential power of wind distribution function; Wind power density; One seventh power law; energy but also the feasibility of using wind power at Kerman synoptic Kerman province stations in Iran. Introduction Moreover, in the process of this study, a new formula, has been obtained that can be applied for computing wind existence hours at The worldwide concern and environmental awareness of air an area. quality created a move towards pollution free energy production such as solar and wind energies. Wind is an abundant resource available in Material and Methods nature that can be utilized by mechanically converting wind power to Since wind is a vector quantity having direction and speed, it is electricity. Wind turbines are especially meant for this purpose. subject to topographical and atmospheric changes. It is impossible to The gradual increase in the earth population and the increasing make an estimation of wind direction and wind speed at intervals in demand for energy from natural resources have been the major causes which wind speed is not reported. Moreover, this estimation is not for man to search for an appropriate substitution for the sources of error free. To reduce the impact of this error, the researcher took raw energy. Having been aware of the decrease of the earth’s energy data from Tehran Meteorology Organization for a period of at least 20 resources, scientists have cautioned against the surplus use of energy. years. The data reported wind direction and wind speed at Kerman Moreover, environmental pollutions resulting from the burning of fossil synoptic stations for the consecutive years.

    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 8001 BAM, IRAN EARTHQUAKE OF 26 DECEMBER 2003, MW6.5: A STUDY ON THE STRONG GROUND MOTIONS Mehdi ZARE1 SUMMARY The Bam earthquake of 26 December 2003 (Mw6.5) occurred at 01:56:56 (GMT, 05:26:56 local time) around the city of Bam in the southeast of Iran. The Bam earthquake of 26/12/2003 (Mw6.5) has demolished the city of Bam, having a population of about 100000 at the time of the earthquake. The Bam fault - which was mapped before the event on the geological maps - has been reactivated during the 26/12/2003 earthquake. It seems that a length of about 10km (at the surface) of this fault has been reactivated, where it passed exactly from the east of the city of Bam. The fault has a slop towards the west and the foci of the event was located closed to the residential area (almost beneath the city of Bam). This caused a great damage in the macroseismic epicentral zone; however the strong motions have been attenuated very rapidly, specially towards the east-and west (fault normal) direction. The vertical directivity effects caused the amplification of the low frequency motions in the fault-normal direction as well as the greater amplitude of the motion on the vertical direction. INTRODUCTION The Bam earthquake of 26/12/2003 (Mw6.5) demolished the city of Bam in the southeast of Iran (Figure- 1). The earthquake happened at 5:26 am local time when most of the inhabitants were slept, that can be one of the causes of the great life losses.

  • Characteristics of 2017 Hojedk Earthquake Sequence in Kerman Province, Southeast Iran
    Revista Geoaraguaia ISSN:2236-9716 Barra do Garças – MT v.10, n. esp. Geologia e Pedologia p.187-201. Dez-2020 CHARACTERISTICS OF 2017 HOJEDK EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE IN KERMAN PROVINCE, SOUTHEAST IRAN CARACTERÍSTICAS DA SEQUÊNCIA DE TERREMOTO HOJEDK 2017 NA PROVÍNCIA DE KERMAN, SUDESTE DO IRÃ Nassim Mahdavi-Omran1 Mohammad-Reza Gheitanchi2 ABSTRACT Kerman province in southeast Iran, has experienced historical and instrumentally recorded earthquakes. In December 2017, three destructive earthquakes have occurred around Hojedk, in Kerman within 11 days. In this study, first the regional seismotectonics and seismicity is presented. Then, the source mechanisms of main shocks are modeled and the results are compared with the active faults and seismicity pattern is discussed. Moment tensor inversion in time domain is used to obtain the source mechanism of earthquakes. The results indicate that the mechanisms of main shocks and aftershocks are mainly reverse and are in agreement with the trend of tectonic forces as well as the mechanisms of other earthquakes. The epicentral distribution of aftershocks indicates two clusters. The spatial distributions of clusters are in agreement with the epicentral distribution of main shocks. The cluster around the first earthquake in EW cross section has a length 15-20 Km, while the cluster around the second and third has a length about 20-25 Km. The Hojedk earthquakes occurred along the northern extension of previous earthquakes where a kind of seismic gap could be observed and still exists. In 1972, within five days four earthquakes with magnitudes 5.5 to 6.2 occurred in Sefidabeh region in eastern edge of Lut block.

PRAZ, Sempach This study was carried out in May and June 1975 to fill a gap in our knowledge of the breeding birds, their distribution and ecology, in the mountains of southern Iran. In these two months, most species occupy their breeding territories. Records from April or July are not always reliable as an indication of breeding, even if the bird is observed singing. While the avifauna of the northern parts of the country is relatively well-known, that of the southern highlands (above 2,000 meters) is poorly known.

Moreover, the corresponding cross-thrusts were also associated with at least five clusters of medium-magnitude earthquakes. The Lakar Kuh fault with ~160 km length run parallel to the Nayband fault (Figure 1). The slip-rate of faults and also the spatio-temporal distribution of large-magnitude shallow-depth earthquakes on the Kuhbanan-Lakar Kuh fault system, attain broad concern for seismic hazard assessment (Figure 1). The horizontal slip-rate of the Kuhbanan fault is estimated ~1–2 mm/yr (Walker et al., 2012).

  • Numerical Investigation of Groundwater Balance and Artificial Recharge in the Kerman-Baghin Aquifer
    Journal of Hydraulic Structures J. Hydraul. Struct., 2021; 7(2):1-21 DOI: 10.22055/jhs.2021.36940.1166 Numerical investigation of groundwater balance and artificial recharge in the Kerman-Baghin Aquifer Sina Pakmanesh 1 Mahnaz Ghaeini-Hessaroeyeh 2 Ehsan Fadaei-Kermani 3 Abstract In the present paper, the behavior of Kerman-Baghin aquifer has been investigated using the MODFLOW program and GMS 10.3 software. The piezometer data during October 2011 are applied for steady state condition of groundwater modeling. Then, the model is calibrated for 66 months for unsteady condition using observational information, and it is validated for 24 months. Finally, the results are compared with the available observed data and show acceptable accuracy in calibration and validation steps. After validating the model, the status of the aquifer is estimated for a period of 5 years. Management scenarios including 10, 20 and 30 percent reduction in groundwater abstraction as well as artificial recharge at eight selected aquifer sites have been investigated. The location of artificial recharge sites is selected based on seven parameters of land slope, distance from waterways, distance from faults, electrical conductivity, hydraulic conductivity, geology of the area and groundwater depth (thickness of unsaturated area). These parameters are combined with the index overlay method by Arc GIS 10.3 software. The results show that by continuing the current situation, the Kerman-Baghin aquifer could face an average annual deficit of more than 52 million cubic meters. It may cause various problems in the near future including abstraction water from groundwater sources and reducing water quality. The results of implementing different scenarios show that, the best scenario can be obtained by 10% reducing water withdrawal with artificial recharge in four zones 1, 2, 10 and 12.

Vaziri Department of Geology, Faculty of Sciences, Shahid Bahonar University, Kerman, Islamic Republic of Iran Received: 25 January 2009 / Revised: 5 August 2009 / Accepted: 30 September 2009 Abstract A new species of cassiduloid echinoids, Pygaulus baghinensis is reported for the first time from Aptian sediments of Baghin area, west of Kerman, Iran. The diagnostic features of the species are centrally positioned of the apical disc and approximately low profile of the test. Variation in gonopore size in different individuals allows to conclude that P. baghinensis is sexually dimorphic. Specimens with large gonopores can be considered to be females, while other specimens whose gonopores diameter is small, can be considered to be males. One of the specimens has one large and three small gonopores on its apical disc. This difference may be due to hermaphroditic feature of the specimen.

    ASIAN JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING (BUILDING AND HOUSING) VOL. 8, NO. 3 (2007) PAGES 329-342 DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS OF THE 2003 BAM EARTHQUAKE ON STRUCTURES S.M. Zahrai∗ and M. Heidarzadeh Center of Excellence in infrastructural Engineering and Management, School of Civil Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT On 26 December 2003 at 1:57 GMT, the historical city of Bam, located in the south-eastern region of Kerman province in Iran, was shaken by a relatively strong and destructive o o earthquake. The earthquake located at 29.0 N and 58.26 W had a Mb of 6.3 by Geophysics Institute of the University of Tehran and an Ms of 6.5 estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The main shock killed nearly 35000 people, left more than 50000 homeless, and destroyed virtually all buildings in the region. Based on the reconnaissance visit by the authors, most common types of damaged buildings in the earthquake-affected area were non-engineered adobe, un-reinforced masonry houses and steel buildings. Most houses in the epicentral area were of adobe construction, made of sun dried clay brick walls, and heavy domestic roofs or vaults with clay or mud mortar. This earthquake clearly demonstrated that combination of relatively rigid load-bearing external brick walls and flexible internal steel columns, existing similarly in most other regions of the country, is quite hazardous. Also use of steel beams and columns in buildings without observing proper seismic provisions showed no improvement over non-engineered buildings. Unlike Some researchers who claimed that the performance of reinforced concrete structures in the area was satisfactory, probably due to the fact that the number of the reinforced concrete structures in the stricken area was for less than the other type of structures, authors believe that it was not so better than others.
