Bam, Iran Earthquake of 26 December 2003, Mw6.5: a Study on the Strong Ground Motions
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. -
Data Collection Survey Report on Earthquake Management in Iran
DATA COLLECTION SURVEY REPORT ON EARTHQUAKE MANAGEMENT IN IRAN AUGUST 2019 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY (JICA) JAPAN METEOROLOGICAL BUSINESS SUPPORT CENTER AND YACHIYO ENGINEERING CO., LTD. 7R JR 19-010 Summary 1. Overview of Iran The Islamic Republic of Iran is located in the southwest Asia and the country has a mountainous area and a desert. The land area is around 1.6 million km2 and it is approx. 4.4 times1 that of Japan. It is bordered by the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia to the north, by Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east, by Turkey and Iraq to the west, and by the Persian Gulf, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to the south. The Zagros mountains, which run from the Iraqi border to the Persian Gulf coast, was formed as a result of a collision between the Arabian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The Arabian Plate is still moving at a rate of around 25 mm a year, and the accumulation of seismic energy caused by its collision with the i Eurasian plate produces frequent earthquakes in Iran. The capital, Tehran, experiences major earthquakes with an approximate 150-year cycle. Accordingly, there is a high interest in reducing earthquake risk. 2. Background and Outline of the Project Accordingly, the national government has laid out policies for goals such as enhancement of measures against natural disasters and strengthened research for earthquake risk mitigation through the expansion of earthquake observation networks in its laws and development plans. Against this background, seismic activity is monitored extensively on a nationwide basis, and earthquake-related research is actively carried out. -

Bam Earthquake, Iran: Lessons on the Seismic Behaviour of Building Structures
th The 14 World Conference on Earthquake Engineering October 12-17, 2008, Beijing, China BAM EARTHQUAKE, IRAN: LESSONS ON THE SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF BUILDING STRUCTURES 1 A. R. Manafpour 1 Structural Engineer, Halcrow Group Limited , Power and Structures, Glasgow, UK ABSTRACT : The Bam earthquake on 26 December 2003 with magnitude Mw=6.6 destroyed most of the city of Bam in Iran and nearby villages, and killed more than 26,000 people. The earthquake was by far the most devastating earthquake in the history of the region around Bam. After the earthquake the author undertook a field investigation and visited the affected area. The paper studies the structural damage on traditional as well as modern building structures during the earthquake. Adobe, masonry, steel and reinforced concrete structures are considered with some examples demonstrating the response of each type of the buildings. Discussion of the structural behavior is given with reference to existing seismic design codes and construction practice within the region. It is concluded that as a considerable number of buildings in central and eastern provinces of Iran, more specifically in villages, are built of mud-bricks and will not resist similar magnitude earthquakes. Due to specific materials and construction forms special strengthening procedures needs to be developed. KEYWORDS: Bam Earthquake, Adobe Structures, Earthquake Effects, Earthquake Filed Investigation, Seismic 1. INTRODUCTION A large earthquake with a magnitude of Mw=6.6 (USGS[3]) struck the city of Bam, located approximately 1000km southeast of Tehran, at 05:26:56 local time (01:56:56 GMT) on Friday 26th December 2003. The earthquake destroyed most of Bam city and the nearby villages and the official death toll exceeded 26,000 with more than 30,000 injuries and 75,000 left homeless. -

Dans les dernières décennies, les chercheurs ont examiné les programmes de rétablissement des ménages (à travers les concepts de la résilience, de la vulnérabilité, et du développement durable), et ils ont essayé de déterminer les variables à l’origine de leur succès et ou de leur échec. Cependant, plusieurs lacunes subsistent, notamment à propos du degré inégal de rétablissement parmi les différentes catégories de ménages, des compromis sur les objectifs du rétablissement, et de la collaboration insuffisante parmi les différentes parties prenantes. Cette étude vise à expliquer pourquoi et comment les projets de reconstruction ne réussissent pas à atteindre les objectifs de rétablissement. Elle cherche à révéler les principaux défis dans les initiatives visant à permettre aux ménages d’avoir un rétablissement équivalent et effectif durant les programmes de reconstruction. -
