Abstract

The source parameters and dimensions of the three most important earthquakes (Komárom 1763, Io = IX EMS; Komárom 1783, Io = VII-VIII EMS; Mór 1810, Io = VIII EMS) of the area studied are estimated as follows     event                        focal depth   rupture area    max. displacement Jun. 28, 1763 Komárom   7.6 km     93 - 125 km2   29 - 35 cm Apr. 22, 1783 Komárom  11.5 km     18 -  36 km2   6 - 11 cm Jan. 14, 1810 Mór             5.0 km     18 -  45 km2   6 - 14 cm The average recurrence that we may expect an earthquake of M=2.7 every 1 year, an earthquake of M=4.0 every 10 years and an earthquake of M=5.3 every 100 years in this source zone. The probabilistic seismic hazard assessment predicts 1.4-2.0 m/cm2 peak ground accelerations, and 6.9-7.2 maximum (theoretical) earthquake intensity values with 10% chance of exceedance for an exposure time of 100 years in the area.
