The  scenario‐based  methodology  developed  at this point    is  strictly based on observable  facts and data  and  complemented  by  physical  modeling techniques, probabilistic  and  deterministic approaches,  linear  and  nonlinear   methods, which can be submitted to a formalized validation process.

Earthquake  in  Romania  have  been  known  since Roman times, when Traian’s legionnaires begun the colonization  of  the  rich  plains  stretching  from  the Carpathian Mountains to the Danube river.

The Vrancea  seismogenic zone  in Romania denotes a peculiar source of seismic hazard, which represents a major concern in Europe, especially  to  neighboring  regions  from  Bulgaria,  Serbia,  Republic  of Modova etc. The strong seismic events originating from Vrancea area can  generate  the most  destructive  effects  experienced  in  Romania, and  may  seriously  affect  high  risk  man‐made  structures  such  as nuclear  power  plants  (Cernavoda,  Kosloduj etc.),  chemical  plants, large  dams,  and  pipelines  located within  a wide  area  from  Central Europe to Moscow  to Rome.

In  plan  view,  the  earthquakes  are  localized  to  a restricted area in the bending zone between the Eastern and Southern  Carpathians  at  least  three  units  in  contact:  the East European plate, Intra‐Alpine and Moesian sub‐plates.

•Earthquakes in the Carpathian‐Pannonian region are confined to the crust, except the Vrancea zone, where earthquakes with focaldepth down to 200 km occurs.  •The ruptured area migrated from 150 km to 180 km (Nov. 10,1940 Vrancea  earthquake, Mw =7.7), from 90 to 110 km (March 4,1977 earthquake, Mw =7.4), from 130 to 150 km (August 30,1986, Mw =7.1) and from 70 to 90 km  (May 30,1990, Mw =6.9) depth.

The maximum intensity for strong deep Vrancea earthquakes is function of earthquake depth. In 1977 strong earthquake (MW =7.4 and h=109 km) at its epicenter, in the Vrancea region, the estimated intensity was only VI (MMI scale), while some 170 km away in the capital city of Bucharest, the estimated maximum intensity was IX - IX½ (MMI). In 1940, the effects were in the epicenter area. The intensely deforming Vrancea zone shows a quite enigmatic seismic pattern (peak ground accelerations/intensity one, characteristic response spectra with large periods of 1.5 seconds etc.).

The last seismic map, existing since 1993, has areas where seismic intensities are sub-evaluated (e.g. Dobrogea, Banat etc.), and other areas are over-evaluated. Intensities I=IX on Mercalli scale, at which corresponds a 0.4 g level of acceleration, and 0.8 g at rupture/yielding, make Vrancea county to become an unsustainabledevelopment area for the future. A special situation is represented by the Banat area where the last recorded earthquakes from Banloc, Voitec requires a change in the seismic intensities of this area. The fundamental unacceptable  point of view is that this  last design code is  in peak ground accelerations   which generates   a  lot of   drawbacks  to   civil structural designers and   to  insurance   companies   which are paying all damages and life loses in function of  earthquake  intensity.

The concept of seismic intensity (or severity of earthquakeground motion) is at present a common concept for seismologists, structural engineers and other specialists, or even non-specialists. Persons working with this concept are recognizing at the same time its importance and some current shortcomings of it. The most important shortcomings that must be emphasized at this place consist of the imperfect definition of the concept, of the fact that the main criteria for intensity estimate are based on vulnerabilitycharacteristics which, at their turn, are defined conditionally upon the intensity (building thus a source of bias and tautology), of the lack of satisfactory correlation between the macroseimic intensity on one hand and the instrumental criteria on the other hand .

The complexity of the geology of the extra-Carpathian region is obvious. The geology of main cities from this area , like Iasi, Bacau, Buzau and Craiova is complex. The scientific problems regarding the waves propagation on source crystalline fundament-free soil path taking into account the nonlinear behavior are the most recent researches conducted the NIEP in this domain. This was important especially for the city of Buzau where sedimentary layers thickness is up to 5.0 km and constitutive laws concerning shear and strain dependence are viscoelastic nonlinear. Almost similar case is the city of Iasi where we were dealing with very different sitestopography, consisting in hills and plane areas. In next Figures are given the Bucharest City area isobaths and, respectively, the geological section through Quaternary layers from Ploiesti to Giurgiu and Danube river .

The earthquake on August 30,1986 is used by us as “controlearthquake” in all studies as it fulfils the following states:

(i)-it was strong (Mw =7.1) ;(ii)-it was recorded in a lot of seismic station on Romanian territory ; (iii)-the fall plan solutions are very closed (almost identically) to

other Vrancea stronger earthquakes (Nov. 10,1940; Mw =7.7 ; March 4,1977; Mw =7.4; May 30,1990; Mw=6.9) and with majority of earthquakes with moderate magnitudes (6.7 < Mw <7.1) ;

(iv)-the depth of hypocenter (h≈135 km) is very close to medium value of all strong Vrancea earthquakes.

Using the peak ground accelerations (PGA), recorded during strong Vrancea earthquakes on March 4,1977(Mw =7.4), August 30,1986(Mw =7.1), May 30,1990(Mw =6.9) and May 31, 1990(Mw =6.4) and the corresponding macroseimic intensities, there are the following relations[6]:

Log amax (cm/s2) =0.2712 I +0.1814Log amax..res (cm/s2)= 0.2714 I +0.2085 for V ≤ I ≤ IX

From Table , the isoseismal map of the ”etalon”(reference) earthquake is given in Figure and by using the attenuation curves for 30 azimuths (Az).

Site local amplifications were evaluated by using Very Hard Rock(VHR), Joint Source Site Determination (JSSD) methods or by using down-hole seismic measurements performed in Bucharest(Table 3), Iasi, Timisoara etc.

Also, deterministic evaluations of local effects in metropolitan area Bucharest were made by using hybrid and analitical methods.

The amplifications of PGA during of Vrancea earthquake on Oct. 27, 2004 (Mw =6.00) in other 6 boreholes made in Bucharest City with deep sensors at -153m,-78m,-70m,-68m,-66m,- 52m and shallow sensors, respectively, at -24m,-28m,-30m,-28m,-28m and -28 m (Table) are more representative . All of them are real data. There is a large scattering of the amplifications between PGA recorded by deep ,shallow and surface/free field K2 sensors. The ratio is between 2.115 and 5.708 (average 3.912).

In order to prepare the results obtained for the „etalon (reference) earthquake”to other intermediary-depth Vrancea earthquakes, we have to take into consi-deration the depth factor of the focus, which is different from one earthquake to another. Firstly, we tried to use a relation containing a function f(h):

Log I – Log Io = a-b Log [R/f(h)] Log (I/Io) =a'– bLog R

a'=a +b Log f(h)and using the data attenuation curves ,we computed by using the least square method the coefficients a' and b from relation and the coefficient a=a' –b Log f(h) for different azimuths Az. The family of attenuation curves for the “etalon” earthquake ,in other form, has the following equation:

Log(Ie/Ioe)(Az) =a(Az)-b(Az Log [Re /f(he )] Log(Ie/Ioe)(Az) = a'(Az)-b(Az) Log Re

where: Ioe is the maximum intensity of the “etalon” earthquake; Ie is the intensity of the “etalon” earthquake at a hypocenter distance Re (along de direction defined by azimuth AZ): a' (Az) = a(Az) +b (Az) Log f(he) ; a & b are constant coefficients for a given Az; h=135 km is focal depth of the “etalon”earthquake.

To obtain the “banana” shape of the attenuation curves of the macroseimic intensity I along the direction defined by azimuth Az ,in the case of Vrancea deep earth-quakes at a depth 80 ≤ x < 160 km, has the following equation :

Log Ix,Az = Log Iox+Log (Ie /Ioe)Az +b(AZ) Log{[Re /f(he)] / [Rx/f(x)]}Az +[cLog δ]Az

where : Iox is the maximum intensity of an earthquake at a depth h= x; δ is the directivity factor of the rupture propaga-tion in the focus ; „c” is the way how the directivity factor may influence the directivity of the seismic source;

Re=(D2+he2 )1/2 ; Rx =(D2+ x2 )1/2 ;D is distance between the observation point and the point of maximum macroseismic intensity.

Bucharest,Timisoara,Arad,Sibiu,Craiova,Ploiesti,Buzau,IasiBacau, Galati & Tulcea Cities, the analyses were carried out by using the two alternative approaches for the seismic hazard assessment:

(i)-the probabilistic approach and,(ii)-the (neo) deterministic one, linear and nonlinear

methods by developing the nonlinear seismology conceptIn any site, first steps were to make: (i)-identification of local and Vrancea events that can

occur and have adverse consequences; (ii)-estimation of the likelihood of those events occurring;(iii)-estimation of the potential consequences.

In the (neo)deterministic analysis there are determined the maximum credible Vrancea earthquake, the etalon or controlling earthquake effects at the site. At high distances from the source (far field), wavelength like, and the main contribution at the solution is given by Rayleigh and Love modes. An original method, called EERA, created by NIEP and University of Trieste,Department of Earth Sciences, , especially for Vrancea particular strong earthquakes, consists in realistic and quick evaluation of seismic effects in the selected site.

The seismic signal coming from the bedrock was computed by using modal summation method until it reaches “soft” layers; after that, a 1D analysis was carried out on vertical propagation through local geological structure by using various modifications on software.

These analyses were made by using a linear viscoelasticmodel or by using a nonlinear viscoelastic one (the equivalent solid approach), case in which are necessary the parameters: dynamic torsion functions, G=G(γ) and damping function, D=D(γ) for each of the rock/soil sample, γ=shear strain determined in Hardin and Drnevichresonant columns at NIEP. Even more, deterministic evaluation used on the path focus-bedrock-free surface of the site, after a “calibration” for a recorded earthquake in each site where it was possible. This calibration helped us to “building and correction of structures” on the path focus-bedrock-free surface of the site, even if nonlinear effects for maximum possible earthquake were reevaluated by taking into account the nonlinear relations between dynamic amplification factors and magnitude , determined by NIEP.

Aspects on Fuzzy Set Theory concept which occurs on interpretation of seismic hazard maps in probabilistic analysis

A problem that arises in such representations is that the uncertainties wherewith are evaluated quantities which are subjec-ted to research, inherent uncertainties to physical nature of them.

To approach these issues propagation phase indeterminacy of the "input" to the final outcome had become possible in last time on account of „Fuzzy Set Theory” extension to this field of research which have been relatively few attempts so far.

The fundamental concept of the „”Fuzzy Set Theory is that it replaces the relationship of affiliation from classical theory of sets by a „affiliation function", and the consequences of such fundamen-tal changes proved to be extraordinary not only on action plan of the mathematical operators but also in mathematical logic performed

The models which have been developed to assess the likelihood that some elements of soil particle movement beyond the level considered critical (or dangerous) for a given area requires processing of informations such as: (i)-depths of focus ;(ii)-geometry and focal mechanism; (iii)-the direction of active faults/fault style ;(iv)- earthquake magnitudes in the area of interest; (v)-relationships between magnitude and rupture length ;(vi)-frequency-magnitude distr ibution of earthquakes ; (vi i)-the average return periods etc.

All these information contributes to the assessment of probability P (Y> y) for a given location (A) and in a given period of time (T), the value of parameter Y (which may be: macroseismic intensity, acceleration, velocity ,ground displacement etc.) to exceed a given value „y” as a result of an earth-quake no matter where they are its source. In terms of classical theory of sets, to determine whether a point x is on the fault lies in making a statement P (x) on the relation of affiliation between point „x” and the set of all fault points:

F = { x / P(x)} where: P(x) is the proposition: „ point x belongs to the fault plane”. This sentence can take only two values: A (true) or F (false).

In various fields of Geophysics are studied geographical distributions of values of certain geophysical quantities (as is the case of seismic hazardvalues) and in practice it is a representation of these distributions in the form of „Maps with isolines”.

According to the classical definition currently applied in all scientific papers, „The izoline Γv for parameter (for example : intensity,accelerationsetc) M ” is the locus of points Pi ( ϕi ;λi ) on a certain area ( Σ ) for which the respective parameter (M ) has the same value (v):

Γv = { Pi ( ϕi ; λi ) | Pi ( ϕi ; λi ) ∈Σ şi M (ϕi ; λi ) = v = constant} (i)

where: ϕi and λi are geographical coordinates of point Pi (i = 1, 2, ..., n), all the n points belongs to surface Σ (whose dimensions can be as high to those where the local maps are built , at continental and even global scales )

In all such representations, indifferent of studied parameter from geophysics (acceleration, intensity ,displacement etc.), appears as a common definition that the relationship itself (i) for the "izoline" concept has to be interpreted as such fuzzy concepts, that is, as „Fuzzy Set Theory”.

Let’s consider a general case in which the values of the studied parameter have measurable errors ε. This means that the measured value (V) can have any value in the range (k - ε , k + ε) where k is the average size measured (in the meaning of the theory of errors of measurement):

V ∈ (k - ε ; k + ε ) (ii)It follows that the set of points which can be attributed „k”

measured value to that parameter consists not in a curve Γv given by definition (i) ,but a "band" centered on Γv curve, and bounded by the envelope curves (Figure ) corresponding to the interval edges (ii). This confirms the nature of fuzzy (that is, fuzzy, vague…) of sets of points and their associated values meaning that the affiliation a point to isoline has not to be considered as a relation of affiliation in clas-sical sense but as a series of transitional situations, degrees of affiliations with values between 0 and 1.

Site local amplifications were evaluated by using Very Hard Rock(VHR), Joint Source Site Determination (JSSD) methods or by using down-hole seismic measurements performed in Bucharest(Table 3), Iasi, Timisoara etc. Also, deterministicestimation of local effects in metropolitan area Bucharest weremade by using hybrid and analitical methods.

The amplifications of PGA during of Vrancea earthquake on Oct. 27, 2004 (Mw =6.00) in other 6 boreholes made in Bucharest City with deep sensors at -153m,-78m,-70m,-68m,-66m,- 52m and shallow sensors, respectively, at -24m,-28m,-30m,-28m,-28m and -28 m (Table) are more representative . All of them are real data. There is a large scattering of the amplifications between PGA recorded by deep ,shallow and surface/free field K2 sensors. The ratio is between 2.115 and 5.708 (average 3.912).

Aki wrote:„Nonlinear amplification at sediments sites appears to be more pervasive than seismologists used to think…Any attempt at seismic zonation must take into account the local site condition and this nonlinear amplification”. In other words, the seismological detection of the nonlinear site effects requires a simultaneous understanding of the effects of earthquake source, propagation path and local geological site conditions. The difficulty for seismologists in demonstrating the nonlinear site effects has been due to the effect being overshadowed by the overall patterns of shock generation and propagation.

During of last stronger Vrancea earthquakes (August 1986,Mw= 7.1 and May 30,1990,Mw = 6.9) the highest values of acceleration were recorded in the north of Bucharest and the smallest one in the south-east of it. More, PGA in epicenter area (Vrancioaia) during of August 30, 1986 Vrancea earthquake (Mw =7.0) was 162,6 cm/s2 , in the north of Bucha-rest was 156,2 cm/s2-EREN Station and 219,8 cm/s2 Otopenisite , while in the south-east of it was only 76,3 cm/s2 ( Metalurgieisite).All time we were looking to get “banana” shape for distribution of macroseismic intensity Vrancea earthquakes. Also, in our attention was to make the frequency dependent PGA/PGV analysis in generation of attenuation laws. For rapid assessment of the seismic ground motion level in Bucharest, we used the equation:Ln(amax )= 4.726 + 0.976 MGR – 1.146 ln R - 0.0066 h + 0.353 P

and setting P=0 (average curve) in Equation → Table

Conclusions1.The Carpathians- great variations in lithosphere structure have

led to pronounced weakness and the localization of strains in adjacent basins. The strong deep Vrancea earthquakes are localized to a restricted area in the bending zone between the Eastern and Southern Carpathians at least three units in contact: the East European plate, Intra- Alpine and Moesian sub-plates. The strain transfer path is coming from the active Adriatic, Aegean and Vrancea deformation fronts through the ALCADI-Pannonian System;

2.The seismicity of Romania comes from the energy that is released by crustal earthquakes , which have a depth not more than 40 km, and by the intermediate earthquakes coming from Vrancea region (unique case in Europe) with a depth between 60 and 200 km;

3.The last zonation seismic map, existing since 1993, has areas where seismic intensities are sub-evaluated (e.g. Dobrogea, Banat etc.), and other areas are over-evaluated. The chapter regarding „Seismic action” from „Norms for construction building-2004”, developed by UTCB-Dept. of Concrete Structures and unaccepted by National Institute for Earth Physics, proposed design acceleration values far from credible ones;

4.The fundamental unacceptable point of view is that this design code is in peak ground accelerations (PGA) which generates a lot of drawbacks to civil structural designers and to insurance companies which are paying all damages and life loses in function of earthquake intensity;

5.National Institute for Earth Physics from Bucharest developed the concept of “control” earthquake. The earthquake on August 30, 1986 is used by us as “control” earthquake in all next studies as it fulfils the following states:(i)-it was strong (MGR =7.0); (ii)-it was recorded in a lot of seismic station on Romanian territory; (iii)-the fall plan solutions are very closed (almost identically) to other Vrancea stronger earthquakes (November 10,1940; MGR =7.4 and March 4, 1977; MGR =7.2) and with majority of earthquakes with moderate magnitudes (6.5 < MGR <7.0);(iv)-the depth of oh hypocenter (h≈135 km) is very close to medium value of all strong Vrancea earthquakes.(v)-the shape of attenuation curves are like „concave banana”

6.The maximum credible Vrancea earthquake has the Richter magnitude , MGR =7.5 and this is the magnitude used by us for our Cernavoda Nuclear Plant. The isoseismal map of the maximum possible Vrancea earthquake is obtained finally by using all data known so far and used o combination of probabalistic and deterministic approaches. Also, nonlinear amplification at sediments sites appears to be more important and any attempt at seismic zonation must take into account the local site condition and this nonlinear amplification. It is important in microzonation studies to have the space distribution of the spectral amplification factors values for each frequency domain in Bucharest area for strong Vrancea earthquakes ;

7.Site local amplifications were evaluated by using Very Hard Rock (VHR), Joint Source Site Determination (JSSD) methods or by using down-hole seismic measurements performed in Bucharest, Iasi, Timisoara etc. Also, deterministic estimation of local effects in metro-politan area Bucharest ,Timisoara, Baia Mare, Sibiu,Tulcea, Moldova,Galati etc.were made by using hybrid and annalytical methodsdeveloped at University of Trieste,Department of Earth Sciences;

8.In the microzoning map (local seismic hazard) for Bucharest for maximum possible earthquake in Romania (MGR = 7.5) there are 14 zones and each zone is characterized by maximum acceleration (a-max ), maximum MMI intensity (I-max ) and fundamental period for soil (T). Each parameter for each zone is obtained from “reference station” INCERC. The fundamental periods of soils in Bucharest have values between 1.3 seconds and 1.9 seconds;

9.For probabilistic seismic hazard evaluation for Crisana-BaiaMare area and Baia Mare City we used „Fuzzy Set Theory “concept. The fundamental concept of the „”Fuzzy Set Theory is that it replaces the relationship of affiliation from classical theory of sets by a „affili-ation function", and the consequences of such fundamental changes proved to be extraordinary not only on action plan of the mathematical operators but also in mathematical logic performed.

10.The unsolved problem is in connection to intensity scale for intermediary-depth Vrancea earthquakes… There is not consistency/concordance between physical parameters (PGA,PGV, PGD) of earthquake and them effects to buildings, people etc.

→MMII scale for intermediary-depth
