Westward escape of AnatoliaAegea block between the
North (dextral) and East
(sinistral) Anatolian Faults.
Current motion relative to
Eurasia (GPS and SLR
velocity vectors, in mm/yr,
from Reilinger et al., 1997).
Geological studies over a
longer time period (holocene)
indicate a slip rate of 2.5 cm/
year on the North Anatolian
Fault (Hubert, 1998).
The Izmit earthquake broke a
130 km long section of the
North Anatolian fault

Tectonic setting of Izmit earthquake - IPGP
The North Anatolian Fault
splays westward into two main
branches, NAF(N) and NAF
(S), 100 km apart. The
Northern branch (N) bounds
the southern side of the Gulf
of Izmit, outlines the Marmara
pull apart basin, cuts the
Dardanelles structure, and
marks the southern side of the
Saros Gulf. The Izmit
earthquake occurred on that
branch, east of the Marmara
Sea.

IPGP - Izmit's earthquake and evolution of Coulomb Criterion
The conclusions of Nalbant, Hubert and King (J.G.R. 103, 24,469-24,486, 1998) stated: "By
combining the stress change map with the map of active faulting, likely locations for the
occurrence of future earthquakes can be refined. Faults in the Izmit Bay area, the western part of
Biga peninsula, the Saroz Gulf and a part of western Sea of Marmara must be regarded as posing a
specific hazard."

The Mw7.4 earthquake that struck western Turkey on August 17, 1999 (also known as the Kocaeli,
Turkey, earthquake) occurred on one of the world's longest and best studied strike-slip (horizontal
motion) faults: the east-west trending North Anatolian fault. Maps of Turkey and California show
how that the North Anatolian and San Andreas faults are very similar. This fault is very similar to
the San Andreas fault in California. This similarity has lead to active scientific collaborations
between scientists in Turkey and the US aimed at understanding the hazards we both face. A
comprehensive U.S.G.S. report about this earthquake, its effects, and its implications for future
hazard in both Turkey and the United States is available on line (pdf format, 6MB).
Turkey has had a long history of large earthquakes that often occur in progressive adjacent
earthquakes. Starting in 1939, the North Anatolian fault produced a sequence of major earthquakes,
of which the 1999 event is the 11th with a magnitude greater than or equal to 6.7. Starting with the
1939 event in western Turkey, the earthquake locations have moved both eastward and westward.
The westward migration was particularly active and ruptured 600 km of contiguous fault between
1939 and 1944. This westward propagation of earthquakes then slowed and ruptured an additional
adjacent 100 km of fault in events in 1957 and 1967, with separated activity further west during
1963 and 1964.
The August 17, 1999 event fills in a 100 to 150 km long gap between the 1967 event and the 1963
and 1964 events. This gap was first noted by Toksoz, Shakal, and Michael in 1979 and it's hazard
was later analyzed by Stein, Barka, and Dieterich in 1997. The latter paper estimated that there was
a 12% chance of this earthquake occurring in the 30 years from 1996 to 2026.
An international team of scientists and engineers is currently mapping the earthquake rupture and its
effects, using a wide variety of techniques from visual observations, to seismology and geodesy.
This team includes scientists and engineers from the USGS, invited by our Turkish colleauges.
On these pages we will post news sent back by the USGS team and links to other resources. We
hope the reports and images on these pages will give you an insider's view into the scientific
investigative process as it unfolds in Turkey.
Damage Survey
The data collected will be used to better understand how the buildings failed in the earthquake. Of
particular interest in the earliest stages of the team's work are the types of structural failure that
occurred, and the kinds of construction practice that were employed in the failed and surviving
buildings. The observations need to be made quickly, before the rubble is cleared away. Analysis of
the data can indicate which building practices were successful, which were not, and how the local
soil conditions under the building may have affected the shaking and ground failure there.

Quake: 1999 Izmit, Turkey Earthquake
In some areas, such as this one in the town of Golcuk, 60 miles east of Istanbul, the contrast in
structural performance can be striking, with this very old mosque outperforming more modern
buildings surrounding it. By learning from the failures, improved construction practices and codes
may save lives in future earthquakes.
