  • The 14 August 2003 Lefkada (Ionian Sea) Earthquake
    5th International Symposium on Eastern Mediterranean Geology Thessaloniki, Greece, 14-20 April 2004 The 14 August 2003 Lefkada (Ionian sea) earthquake Pavlides S.B.1, Papadopoulos G.A.2, Ganas A.2, Papathanassiou G.1, Karastathis V.2, Keramydas D.1 & Fokaefs A.2 1Department of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece, [email protected] 2Institute of Geodynamics, National Observatory of Athens, 11810 Athens, Greece Keywords: Lefkada earthquake, macroseismic effects, active tectonics, landslide, soil lique- faction A strong earthquake (Mw=6.2, Ms=6.4) occurred offshore NW of Lefkada Island (Ionian sea) on August 14, 2003 (05:14:53.9 GMT). The shock was felt over the Ionian islands, west and central Greece and also in the region from Peloponnese to Albania. No important foreshock activity was noted before the 2003 earthquake. On the contrary, intense aftershock activity was recorded by the NOAGI national seismograph system. Up to 22 September 2003 more than 270 aftershocks of ML ≥ 2.9 (or Ms ≥ 3.4) were recorded. The strongest of them (ML = 5.2) occurred on 14.08.03 at 16:18:03.9 GMT a few hours after the mainshock. The parame- ter b=1.10 of the G-R relationship and the aftershock decay exponent, k=1.24 , of the Omori law were found to have typical values for Greek earthquakes. Because of the main shock and its strong aftershocks many houses have been destroyed (about 120 out of 3000), almost the half of the buildings of the island were severely or light damaged. Only one building in the center of the town was collapsed.

Antoniou2, Hariklia D.

This paper focuses on the study of the Quaternary morphotectonic evolution of the Lefkas Island using morphological and tectonic data. Based on our mainly morphological stud- ies, two principal tectonic structures have been distinguished: (i) the Nydri-Vasiliki Fault Zone (NVF) and (ii) the Ionian Zone overthrust onto the Paxos Zone, which both divide the island into three morphotectonic units of Karya (KMTU), Maradochori (MMTU) and Athani (AMTU). Paleogeographically, it has been suggested that the broader Lefkas area was dominated by a NE—SW to ENE—WSW compressional regime since the early Pliocene that continuous in our days, resulting in the uplift of the southwestern part of the island and the submergence of the northeastern part of the island. This deformation is characterized by principal fault structures of a N110°—130° strike. These structures, combined with a fault system of N40°—60° strike repre- senting an older Miocene fault zone, control the main morphological characteristics such as watersheds and streams and are responsible for the KMTU formation producing a northeast- ward plunging monoclinal en-echelon structure.

  • The 2003 Lefkada Earthquake: Field Observations and Preliminary
    Engineering Geology 82 (2005) 12–31 www.elsevier.com/locate/enggeo The 2003 Lef kada earthquake: Field observations and preliminary microzonation map based on liquefaction potential index for the town of Lef kada G. Papathanassiou a,*, S. Pavlides a, A. Ganas b a Department of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124, Greece b Institute of Geodynamics, National Observatory of Athens, 11810, Greece Received 26 May 2005; received in revised form 19 August 2005; accepted 29 August 2005 Available online 2 November 2005 Abstract A strong earthquake (Mw=6.2) occurred offshore the island of Lefkada (or Lefkas) on August 14, 2003. The maximum intensity has been evaluated Io=VIII (EMS) at Lefkada municipality, while VI to VII+ intensities were evaluated at many other villages of the island. The offshore NNE–SSW oriented strike-slip right-lateral fault was activated by the main shock. This fault is the northern termination of the Cephalonia transform fault. The most characteristic macroseismic effects were extensive typical ground failures like rock falls, soil liquefactions, subsidence, densification, ground cracks and landslides. These macroseismic effects are remarkably similar to those reported from some historical Lefkada shocks, e.g. 1704, 1914 (Ms=6.3) and 1948 (Ms=6.5). Sand boils and ground fissures with ejection of mud were observed at the seaside of the town of Lefkada, and in the villages of Nydri and Vassiliki. In situ soil profiles are obtained based mainly on borings after the earthquake. Boreholes records with SPT values (standard penetration test) are obtained and the bsimplified procedureQ originally developed by Seed and Idriss was employed to evaluate the liquefaction resistance of soils.

The center next to the church is very busy with many large cafes, restaurants and bars. Particularly popular with visitors are the small, winding and very colorful streets of the city, in the pedestrian area there are numerous shops for shopping and strolling. Worth seeing is the metal belfry of the Chapel of Agios Nikolaos, which consists of striking metal bracing because of the earthquake endangerment of Lefkas. The most popular restaurants are located on the harbor promenade where countless yachts are anchored. MEGANISI The small island (20 km²) Meganisi is only half a mile east of Lefkada. Meganisi is largely spared of mass tourism. Meganisi, is known for its many interesting caves and beautiful beaches. Most places are right on the water, you sit in the cafe, with your own yacht right in front of your feet. The only village Spartochorion is situated over the small port of Porto Spilia and offers its visitors the typical Greek idyll. page 2 ITHAKA Ithaca, the former home of Odysseus, has many beautiful beaches and anchorages. Vathi: The main town of Vathi, which is surrounded by two hills, has one of the largest natural harbors and is located in an almost fjord-like, spacious bay.

This brochure includes photos that show only a small part of our work, as it was not always possible to make photos during emergencies (some animals were not that "photogenic”, volunteers did not have a camera, or in many cases photography did not work well due to bad conditions (darkness, rain, etc.). On this occasion, we would like to express a Great Thank You to our volunteers. Also, a Great Thank You, we owe to all animal lovers who support us with all their kind donations, without the help of which the club could not exist. We particularly like to thank the veterinary surgeon of the Municipal Veterinary Hospital. Without his support the sterilization programs would not have been possible to be carried out. -- 3 -- Setting up of a municipal veterinary clinic in Meganisi, under the auspices of the Municipality of Meganisi.

  • 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.
