TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Macroseismic intensity attenuation for crustal sources on romanian territory and adjacent areas JO - Natural hazards A1 - Pantea, A. SP - 65 EP - 72 VL - 10 IS - 1-2 N2 - The macroseismic intensity attenuation (m.i.a.) laws for the main seismic provinces with crustal foci of the Romanian territory and adjacent areas were established. The input data consist of MSK-64 intensities of 18 earthquakes with epicentral/maximum intensity in the range V to X degrees (MSK scale), whose isoseismal maps were available. The attenuation was analyzed as a function of distance and azimuth and from the three main attenuation formulas (logarithmic, exponential, and power-law) (the last one was preferred, as it best fits the observed data) and, consequently, were used for each seismogenic region. The bulk of derived equations is intended to be further used in the assessment of the seismic hazards of Romania.
