  • Seismic Behaviour of the Historical Structural System of the Island of Lefkada, Greece
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture IX 291 Seismic behaviour of the historical structural system of the island of Lefkada, Greece E. Vintzileou1 & P. Touliatos2 1Faculty of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Greece 2Faculty of Architectural Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Abstract In this paper, the main characteristics of the historical structural system of the island of Lefkada, Greece, are presented. The typical damage caused by a recent strong earthquake (August 2003) are briefly described, since they allow for the seismic behaviour of the system to be studied. The pathology of the structural system seems to confirm that the structural system was conceived to sustain earthquakes. Keywords: earthquake, stone masonry, timber framed masonry, damages. 1 Introduction The island of Lefkada, one of the Ionian Islands, is situated in one of the most earthquake prone regions of Greece. A local structural system was developed before the 19th century in Lefkada. The strong earthquake occurred in 1821 proved the adequacy of the system to sustain seismic actions. Thus, the British Authorities (ruling the Ionian Islands at that time) imposed rules for the construction of new houses following the main characteristics of the local structural system. The rules, further developed and completed, constituted the Code for Construction issued in 1827. That Code provided guidance on the selection of building materials, on the thickness of stone masonry in the ground floor, as well as on the maximum storey height. In addition, minimum distance is required between adjacent buildings, to allow for better protection against fire and earthquakes. A considerable number of buildings, built according to this structural system are still in use in the city of Lefkada.

Este trabajo, a través de una amplia revisión bibliográfica, tiene por objetivo revalorizar el uso e importancia de los componentes de la familia Anacardiáceas que se encuentran ampliamente distribuidos en el Gran Chaco Argentino.

  • A Preliminary Report on the Nov 17, 2015 M=6.4 South Lefkada Earthquake, Ionian Sea, Greece

Relocation of seismicity and preliminary inversion of geodetic data suggests the fault plane dips to east with an angle of about 70±5 degrees. The earthquake caused a lot of structural damage to the villages of Agios Petros, Athani, Dragano and Komilio. Environmental effects include liquefaction, extensive rock falls and landslides. No surface ruptures were found in the field. Road cracks are interpreted as secondary phenomena of gravitational nature induced by ground shaking. Preliminary inversion of geodetic data suggests that the upper part of the fault is offshore very close to the coast, and at very shallow depth (0.5±0.5 km), as constrained by the azimuth and amplitude of the motion at NOA GPS stations PONT (36 cm offset to the south) and SPAN.
