2. Archaeoseismological Study of two Rural Roman Buildings in Germania Superior.

Author

Roth, S. and Hinzen, K.-G.

Subjects
ROMAN architecture, BUILDING failures, SLOPES (Physical geography), GROUND motion
Abstract

Several rural Roman buildings in the Province of Germania Superior show striking collapse patterns of their walls. Slope movements and seismic ground motions or a combination of both come into consideration as the cause. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. A Nineteenth-Century National Prussian Macroseismic Questionnaire

Author

Knuts, E., Hinzen, K. -G., Reamer, S. K., Camelbeeck, T., Knuts, E., Hinzen, K. -G., Reamer, S. K., and Camelbeeck, T.

Abstract

We recently discovered in the regional record office of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesarchiv Nordrhein Westfalen) in Duisburg (Germany) numerous original documents organized and distributed during the nineteenth century by the Prussian authority. These documents constitute a series of completed surveys very similar to present-day macroseismic questionnaires that were ostensibly used to gather information about felt earthquakes in the Kingdom of Prussia. This article presents an overview of these documents and discusses their importance for broadening the knowledge base of nineteenth-century earthquakes in this part of Europe. Indeed, for some earthquakes, answers to the questionnaires furnish original historical sources that were never scientifically exploited; for other earthquakes, the surveys formed the basic source of information, utilized but not referenced in two nineteenth-century scientific studies. Detailed examination of a small sample from these historical documents definitively demonstrates the necessity for a reevaluation of the nineteenth-century earthquakes.

5. Seismic velocity model and near‐surface geology at Mycenaean Tiryns, Argive Basin, Peloponnese, Greece

Author

Hinojosa-Prieto, H.R and Hinzen, K.-G

Abstract

A near‐surface seismic refraction tomography survey was completed in the surroundings of the Mycenaean citadel of Tiryns in the Argive Basin, Peloponnese, Greece. The survey encompassed 11 hectares at the Tiryns citadel, an archaeological site listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as world heritage with over 120 years of excavation history. Site characterization of the shallow subsurface was performed using two‐dimensional seismic refraction tomography of compressional (P) and horizontally polarized shear (SH) wave data along 12 and 9 profiles, respectively. The interpretation of the seismic refraction results is complemented by available archaeological stratigraphy, stratigraphic logs, and new structural data of the exposed bedrock. The tomograms show a transition from unconsolidated fine alluvium at the surface to consolidated clays and silts to hard limestone bedrock. The soil–bedrock boundary dips away from the citadel, influencing the geometry of overlying soils into wedges. Based on twodimensional tomograms of P‐and SH‐wave velocities, the Poisson ratio, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and bulk modulus were estimated for a four‐layer geotechnical model, which will be used to study seismic site effects. The rock mass quality index of the bedrock at Tiryns is classified as fair to very poor.
