[email protected] *Corresponding author Received: 24/04/12 / Accepted: 10/05/12 Abstract We present an overview of the knowledge of the structure and the seismic behavior of the Alhama de Murcia Fault (AMF). We utilize a fault traces map created from a LIDAR DEM combined with the geodynamic setting, the analysis of the morphology, the distribution of seismicity, the geological information from E 1:50000 geological maps and the available paleoseismic data to des- cribe the recent activity of the AMF. We discuss the importance of uncertainties regarding the structure and kinematics of the AMF applied to the interpretation and spatial correlation of the paleoseismic data. In particular, we discuss the nature of the faults dipping to the SE (antithetic to the main faults of the AMF) in several segments that have been studied in the previous paleoseismic works. A special chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the tectonic source of the Lorca 2011 earthquake that took place in between two large segments of the fault. Keywords: Alhama de Murcia Fault, Betic Cordillera, active faults, slow-moving faults, strike-slip faults.

Iberians, Romans and Muslims passed through a community settled around its castle, which, although of Arab origin, was guarded by the Knights Templar and subsequently by the Order of Santiago. Caravaca is essentially the City of the Cross. According to legend, in 1232 the Moorish king Abu Zeid converted to Christianity when he witnessed two angels descending from heaven carrying a cross so that a priest imprisoned in the castle could say mass.

  • Seismic Demands As a Result of Directivity Effects from the Mw 5.1 2011 Lorca (Spain) Earthquake
    SEISMIC DEMANDS AS A RESULT OF DIRECTIVITY EFFECTS FROM THE MW 5.1 2011 LORCA (SPAIN) EARTHQUAKE Carlos GORDO-MONSO1, Eduardo MIRANDA2 ABSTRACT The May 11th 2011, Lorca earthquake in Southeastern Spain was a damaging event, especially considering its relatively low magnitude (Mw 5.1), which produced 9 fatalities, more than 300 injuries, and more than 462 million Euros in economic loses. Recorded ground motions and corresponding spectral ordinates significantly exceed those in current Spanish probabilistic seismic hazard models, as well as those in the Eurocode and Spanish building codes. A pulse directivity effect has been postulated by several investigators to explain these differences, the objective of this paper is to assess such effects on ground motions recorded at the LOR station during the 2011 Lorca earthquake, and to evaluate the significance of these effects on earthquake resistant design in moderate seismic regions. First, we studied the likelihood of the presence of a directivity pulse, by comparing different parameters of the recorded ground motions to analytical pulses. Additionally, we present a novel technique to extract directivity pulse features, based on the match of the response spectrum of a simple analytical pulse and the spectrum of the recorded ground motion. In a second part, we relate the inelastic displacement spectra to some models that try to capture the displacement demand features of earthquakes presenting directivity-pulse characteristics. We conclude that a large part of the impact caused by this relatively small earthquake owes to directivity effects, an aspect which is typically ignored, both in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and in most building codes.

  • Four Years After the Catastrophe, Are Educational Institutions in the Region of Murcia in Spain Prepared for the Next Seismic Disaster?
    Papeles de Geografía 2019, 65 pp. 155-174 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.6018/geografia.409211 ISSN: 1989-4627 FOUR YEARS AFTER THE CATASTROPHE, ARE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE REGION OF MURCIA IN SPAIN PREPARED FOR THE NEXT SEISMIC DISASTER? Sophie Mendizabal1 Dirección de Gestión de Riesgos, Municipalidad de Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz, Argentina. ABSTRACT A magnitude 6.0 or more earthquake is expected on the Alhama de Murcia fault, the most active in the region of Murcia, located in the south-eastern Spain. On May 11th 2011, within one hour and 42 minutes period, a magnitude 4.5 and a magnitude 5.1 earthquakes shake the towns of Lorca and Totana, killing nine people and injuring 330. However, four years after the catastrophe, these towns do not seem to be prepared to face a moderate earthquake. All elements are gathered to result in a disaster, i.e. a surface geomorphology conducive for site effects, constructions which do not comply the earthquake-resistant requirements and a lack of knowledge from the population about the seismic risk. This study proposes an analysis of the level of vulnerability of educational institutions against the seismic risk in Lorca and Totana based on creating a vulnerability index which considers social and structural risk factors. As well as a series of mitigation measures proposals to face the next major seismic disaster. Key words: index; earthquake; vulnerability; educational institution; Alhama de Murcia fault. CUATRO AÑOS DESPUÉS DE LA CATÁSTROFE, ¿ESTÁN LOS CENTROS EDUCACIONALES DE LA REGIÓN DE MURCIA EN ESPAÑA PREPARADOS PARA EL PRÓXIMO DESASTRE SÍSMICO? RESUMEN Un terremoto de magnitud 6.0 o más está esperado en la falla Alhama de Murcia, la más activa de la región de Murcia, localizada en el sureste de España.

In both textures, kaolinite forms intergrowths or patches of randomly oriented crystals filling gaps or opening layers of presumably inherited detrital mica crystals, which is interpreted as an epitaxial growth from fluids. The Na/K ratio of mica crystals in the thin ultrafine-grained bands shows a wider range than the micas from the foliated bands including muscovitic, intermediate Na-K and paragonitic compositions. The absence of the 0.98 nm intermediate peak in the diffractograms indicates that the small micas are submicroscopically paragonite and phengite intergrowths.

Cases of induced seismicity have a global distribution and involve a large number of industrial operations, with many documented cases from as far back to the beginning of the 20th century. However, the sparse and fragmented documentation available makes difficult to have a clear picture on our understanding of the physical phenomenon and consequently in our ability to mitigate the risk associated with induced seismicity. This review presents a unified and concise summary of the still open questions related to monitoring, discrimination and management of induced seismicity in the European context and, when possible, provides potential answers. We further discuss selected critical European cases of induced seismicity, which led to the suspension or reduction of the related industrial activities.
