Linear Damage Distribution and Seismic Fractures at the Egio Earthquake (15 June 1995, Greece) E
Advances in Earthquake Engineering, Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures, Computational Mechanics Publications 1997, vol.2, p.37-46. Linear damage distribution and seismic fractures at the Egio earthquake (15 June 1995, Greece) E. Lekkas, S. Lozios, H. Kranis & E. Skourtsos University of Athens, department of Geology, GR-157 84 Athens, Greece Abstract On June 15, 1995, a Ms=6.1 R earthquake hit the region around Egio (Northern Peloponnese, Greece), killing 26 people, damaging severely 2,000 buildings while 10,000 more suffered minor damage. The shock gave rise to liquefaction, submarine landslides, coastline changes, while seismic fractures of considerable magnitude were observed. The latter occurred along an E-W trending zone, from the city of Egio and for 2 km to the West. They cut river terraces, recent and artificial landfill, and Late Pleistocene consolidated conglomerates. The highest intensities were observed along the fractures, with virtually all constructions that lay along them being significantly damaged. Not only older houses, roads and minor constructions were damaged, but also modern apartment blocks and residences. In particular, where liquefaction also occurred, the destruction included vital buildings, such as factories and other modern constructions. On the other hand, all over the rest of the meizoseismal area the collapsed buildings were mostly the ones not built of reinforced concrete. All the above-mentioned point to the fact that the intensity was particularly accentuated along the earthquake fractures, while an important fact was played by the liquefaction phenomena. 1 Introduction A strong surficial (h=26 km, Ν.Ο.Α., [1]) earthquake hit the region of Egio, (Northern Peloponnessos, Greece) on 15 June 1995, at 0316 local time.

Kiato - Rododafni" Section
Press Release MYTILINEOS delivered the New Double Railway Line of the "Kiato - Rododafni" section Athens, Greece - 15 July 2020 –The grand opening of the New Double Railway of the "Kiato - Rododafni" section of ERGOSE took place on July 14th, in the presence of the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport; a project that MYTILINEOS completed successfully and on schedule. The project is part of the modernization works of the railway axis "Athens - Corinth - Patras", which aims to improve Greek rail transport and the competitiveness of the railway in terms of other means of transport while supporting the economic development of the Peloponnese and the National Economy in general. It is connected to the railway line "Piraeus - Thessaloniki - Borders" and through this line to the European railway network. The contract between ERGOSE SA and MYTILINEOS was signed on September 11, 2014. The project is approximately 71 km long and its objective consisted of the completion of the works between the Kiato Railway Station and the Rododafni Aigio Railway Station. MYTILINEOS undertook the construction of the railway infrastructure, the restoration of the side and vertical road network, the implementation of all track works, the construction of the electromechanical installations inside the six tunnels and their Service Buildings, and the installation of a new modern telecomanding signaling system. With the operation of the new line, travel time is reduced while the operation conditions of the railway and the reliability of the rail routes are improved. At the same time, it seeks to divert a significant proportion of road traffic to railways, with significant environmental benefits.
