We present a study of the strongest historical earthquakes (Mw > 5.0) occurred in West Romania between 1900 and 1980 to review and homogenize the Romanian Earthquakes and Focal Mechanisms Catalogues on instrumental data basis. New hypocenters relocation, moment magnitudes, Mw and focal mechanisms solutions are obtained on historical instrumental data basis (seismograms, bulletins, catalogues). The vectorized seismograms were analysed to pick up the arrival times of the body and surface waves after careful identifi...

The paper presents a detailed analysis of the seismic activity recorded in the Banloc-Voiteg seismogenic structure (Romania) located on the southeastern border of the Pannonian Depression which is characterized by pre-Alpine and Alpine structures belonging to Tisa-Dacia Microplate and, particularly by the tectonic contact between two main geodynamic blocks. The seismic activity has a clear tendency to group on active neotectonic structures and displays different space and time patterns. Until now we have documente...

The active stress pattern in the Apuseni Mts area is investigated and studied in relation to the local seismicity and geology. Our analysis is based on several high quality and resolution data bases obtained recently in the context of national and international projects and which refers to digital seismograms recorded by dense networks, parametric earthquakes catalogues and catalogues of focal mechanisms. The reduced stress tensor has been obtained by formal inversion of 89 focal mechanisms solutions. The maximum ...
