Abstract The dedicated work is presented in six chapters, each of these chapters cover certain points that, needed to explain, constrain and conclude the final results, and then to put the final considerations for future progress in that field of research. We concatenated the work as follows: Chapter 1: It introduces for our work, giving reasons and aims to do this study, then discussed the geological, tectonic, seismic and seismotectonic setting of Egypt, with regard to its northern part, which represents the area under investigation. Chapter 2: The methodology and techniques utilized, with explanation for specific procedures used throughout the work. Chapter 3: In this chapter, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is presented as an effective tool in determining the source parameters for the data set used in the study. We established a relation between the calculated moment magnitude using (GA) and the local magnitude calculated by the Egyptian National Seismological Network (ENSN). We present for the new sophisticated (ENSN) system, then we go through the set of data used in later analyses to correct, evaluate and control its quality for stable regression. Chapter 4: The previous studies, that related to our topic in/and around the study area are reviewed, then came the important part of the thesis, that started scaling for the ground motion in Northern Egypt. The Coda Normalization technique is performed, then the CHAPTER 6 Summery & Conclusion Linear Regression is applied and finally comparison is done to control the parameters obtained. This is done through the Fourier Velocity and Filtered Velocity spectra for the centered frequencies of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 and 12.0 Hz. The duration of the signal and the source excitation are studied. Chapter 5: The large set of information and figures obtained from analyses in the previous chapter are presented in simple physical mathematical forms, that describe the parameters of our observations. To do so, parameterization of these terms took place. The Random Vibration Theory (RVT) offered a good effective tool in that field. Chapter 6: It summarizes the thesis topics, then discusses the results and conclusions, and put the final considerations. |
