    Garhwal Earthquake of Oct. 20, 1991 EERI Special Earthquake Report, EERI Newsletter, Vol.26, No.2, February 1992 Sudhir. K. Jain, Ramesh P. Singh, Vinay K. Gupta and Amit Nagar Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Introduction On October 20, 1991, at 2.53 a.m. local time, an earthquake occurred in the

  2. 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake

    The 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake (also known as the Garhwal earthquake) occurred at 02:53:16 Indian Standard Time on 20 October with a moment magnitude of 6.8 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent).This thrust event was instrumentally recorded and occurred along the Main Central Thrust in the Uttarkashi and Gharwal regions of the Indian state of Uttarakhand (then still part of Uttar ...

  3. Revisiting the 1991 Uttarkashi and the 1999 Chamoli, India, earthquakes

    The 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake generated much interest also due to its proximity to the Tehri Dam, the highest in India, located just ∼50 km to the south of the epicenter and under construction during the time of the earthquake (see Fig. 3 a for location of Tehri). The earthquake affected over 1200 villages, claimed nearly 800 lives, left ∼ ...

  4. Himalayan hazard study on the basis of stress and strain state of 1991

    Here, we study the 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake using the theory of Coulomb failure function (CFF), which is based on the study of stress state of the regional faults. ... of representation have been used in this case also. The areas that go under highly compressed state are most probable to be affected by a future earthquake. As in this ...

  5. Revisiting the 1991 Uttarkashi and the 1999 Chamoli, India, earthquakes

    The 1991 Uttarkashi (Mw 6.7) and 1999 Chamoli (Mw 6.5) earthquakes discussed in this paper are interesting as their ground shaking effects were felt as far as Delhi, ∼450 km southwest of their source zones (Jain et al., 1992, Jain et al., March 1999, Rajendran et al., 2000).

  6. Himalayan hazard study on the basis of stress and strain state of 1991

    The study of Uttarkashi 1991 earthquake by this method supports the main shock and its controlling effect on the later earthquakes' observations in the nearby region with the view that many zones of such shock can occur in the future. This model is also used to predict the direction of propagation of strain energy, thereby

  7. (PDF) Uttarkashi Earthquake Reconstruction

    Uttarkashi Reconstruction The devastating Garhwal earthquake of late 1991 has been an eye opener to the strengths and failures of building technologies in the seismic hill region. This article focuses on the salient features of local construction and its points of vulnerability, and lists recommendations for preventing a recurrence of such a ...
