Abstract
The main goal of this paper is the description of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the secondary effects triggered by the June 8th, 2008 earthquake. The earthquake-induced ground deformations were spread into a large area up to 25Km of epicentral distance. Surface ruptures were mapped at the areas close to the villages of Mihoi, Psari and Nisi where the maximum horizontal and vertical displacement was equal to 15cm and 20cm, respectively. Furthermore, typical liquefaction-induced surface disruptions were reported at the coastal area of the villages Kato Achaia, Alikes and at the shore of the lake Pinios close to the villages Roupakia and Kalivia. Moreover, small scale liquefaction phenomena were observed at the banks of the river Pinios and at the area of Nisi. In addition, landslides and rockfalls were mapped into a large area and caused damages to the road network of Peloponnesus, particularly to the roads connecting the villages of Santomeri, Portes at the mountain Skollis.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
