Earthquake Induced Landslide Potential in Maku Dam Reservoir (NW Iran)


Abstract eng:
Earthquake induced landslide potential is estimated for Maku dam reservoir located in northwestern Iran. Data sets used in the analysis include a comprehensive seismotectonic and seismic hazard analysis in Maku dam site, strong motion records of the 1976 Chaldiran earthquake at Maku city station and 2005 earthquake, and estimated engineering properties of rocks. Combining these data in the Newmark's dynamic model resulted to a critical acceleration estimation which yields to coseismic landslides. Spectral matching of these records with target spectra characterized that the Baroon-Bedavli fault, although with lower maximum magnitude, plays more significant role to induce landslide comparing to Chaldiran fault which has a higher seismogenic potential.
