Latest News on Major
Earthquake in Iran A M7.8 earthquake occurred on the
afternoon of Tuesday, April 16, 2013
in southeastern Iran, near the Pakistan
border. Strong ground motions
extended more than 150 miles from
the epicenter, and the earthquake was
widely felt in the region. Preliminary
reports indicate dozens of fatalities
and more than 850 people injured,
with damage concentrated in the
immediate area of the earthquake. The
sparsely populated and remote region
of this earthquake has limited the
potential for broader effects from this
event

Tectonic Summary (as per USGS) of M7.8
Iran Earthquake The April 16, 2013 M 7.8 earthquake east of Khash, Iran, occurred as a result of normal
faulting at an intermediate depth in the Arabian plate lithosphere, approximately 80 km
beneath the Earth's surface.
Regional tectonics are dominated by the collisions of the Arabian and India plates with
Eurasia; at the longitude of this event, the Arabian plate is converging towards the
north-northeast at a rate of approximately 37 mm/yr with respect to the Eurasian
plate. Arabian plate lithosphere is subducted beneath the Eurasian plate at the Makran
coast of Pakistan and Iran, and becomes progressively deeper to the north.
The subducted Arabian plate is known to be seismically active to depths of about 160
km. The frequency of moderate and large earthquakes within the subducted Arabian
plate is not high compared with similar events in some other subducted plates
worldwide, but several earthquakes have occurred within this slab in the region of
today's event over the past 40 years, including a magnitude 6.7 shock 50 km to the south
in 1983. In January of 2011, a M 7.2 earthquake occurred approximately 200 km to the
east, in a similar tectonic environment to the April 16 earthquake.

USGS Shake Map at Iran-Pakistan
Boarder for 16.04.2013 M7.8 Earthquake
USGS Shake Map shows maximum
shaking intensity of VIII (Severe) on
the Modified Mercalli Intensity
(MMI) Scale, with potentially heavy
damage expected. USGS PAGER
estimates a population of about 2,000
were exposed to this severe (MMI
VIII) earthqauke and 377,000 to very
strong shaking (MMI VII) with
moderate to heavy damage potential.
Earthquake ruptures at depth (an
estimated 80 km) tend to present
lower ground motions in the epicentral
region than do shallower earthquakes.

Ground Anchors
See, Rangari, S. M. (2013), PhD Thesis, IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India.

• To mitigate the effect of earthquake Ground Anchors can be used for structures
subjected to uplift / pullout loads.
• Estimation of Uplift Capacity of Ground Anchor is an application of passive earth
pressure theory.
• Problem is more complex under seismic conditions.
INTRODUCTION
19
The total reaction R1 and R3 on
the failure surfaces are computed
by integrating Kötter’s equation;
•W is the weight of failure
soil block,
• Pp d1 and Pp d3 are the
seismic passive
resistances,
• is soil friction angle,
• B is width and H is depth
of anchor
•Qh and Qv are total
seismic horizontal and
vertical inertial forces
respectively.
•Simple Planar failure surface. Hence the
Kötter’s (1903) equation reduces to,

For a plane failure surface, Kötter’s equation (1903), takes the following form
where,
p = uniform pressure on failure
plane
= unit weight of soil
s = represents the distance of failure plane
as measured from ground surface
The total reaction R1 and R3 on the failure surfaces are computed by integrating
Kotter’s equation;
