NONLINEARITIES AND FRACTAL PROPERTIES OF THE EUROPEAN-MEDITERRANEAN SEISMOTECTONIC MODEL by Boyko K. Ranguelov

“…This paper presents research results of the study which aim is to reveal and quantitatively describe fractal properties of the European-Mediterranean seismotectonic model applied for seismic hazard assessment of the region under study.Several seismotectonic provinces are defined, and their nonlinear properties are calculated using both linear elements (boundaries of seismogenic units) and surface areas of the seismogenic units.The research is conducted on the basis of only formal relationships, not with data on real fault structures or other seismogenic elements, as the relationships have been accepted for seismic hazard calculations by the team of SESAME Project (Project Leader M. …”
