Earthquake risk analysis and review of the geology of the Dam Site area of Dasht Palang

Abstract

Iran is considered one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, so that, each year, many small and medium earthquakes, and every ten years, a large earthquake happens in it. Because of tectonic earthquakes, and geographical and climatic situation, Iran, has the potential of creating several strong earthquakes. Therefore, seismic studies, geological and seismic tectonic seismic areas of the country are essential. In this paper, geological studies and seismic assessment can be eliminated from the fault and the intensity of the earthquake from their area of Dasht Palang dam site is investigated using empirical relationships.
