Abstract :

In this paper seismotectonic characteristics (earthquake- fault hazard) of the Mashhad- Neyshabur region are studied. The Presence of Kashafrud and Shandiz faults around Mashhad and Neyshabur fault near Neyshabur and absence of large earthquakes in 20th century in this region is a major problem. Seisrisk II computer program used for seismic hazard estimation, and results are given in acceleration contours "g" with different probabilities and mean periods.
Keywords: Faulting, Historical and 20th century earthquakes, Earthquake hazard, Mashhad- Neyshabur, Iran.
