PAPANIKOLAOU, I., LEKKAS, E., FOUNTOULIS, I., PARCHARIDIS, Is., FOUMELIS, M. (2010). - Damage pattern, bedrock geology and surface ruptures of the 2009 L' Aquila event and implications for seismic hazard planning. International Association for Engineering Geology, 11th IAEG Congress, paper ID No. 068, p. 579-586, Auckland.

 

This paper examines how the damage pattern of the 2009 Mw=6.3 L' Aquila event correlates: a) with the bedrock geology, b) the amount of uplift/subsidence values recorded by the DInSAR analysis and c) the fault geometry. Moreover, it examines the widespread primary and secondary surface ruptures and the implications for the seismic hazard assessment for planning and design purposes. The amount of the DInSAR recorded uplift or subsidence values do not correlate to the damage pattern, implying that bedrock geology is the predominant factor that explicitly overshadows all other effects.
