Paleoseismicity of the San Demetrio ne' Vestini fault (L'Aquila Basin, Central Italy): Implications for seismic hazard

摘要

The San Demetrio fault is a NW-SE trending normal fault at the south-eastern tip of the L'Aquila Basin fault zone (Central Apennines, Italy). Detailed field surveys and geophysical investigations, performed in the frame of seismic microzonation studies after the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake in the San Demetrio 'ne Vestini territory, have clearly indicated that it is a capable fault.
