During an earthquake on August 1 there were not serious damages after the earthquake in the Imishli region, as the epicenter of the tremors was located at a great depth. "There may be cracks in the buildings of the old buildings," said a day after the earthquake at a press conference on Tuesday the head of the Seismological Center of the National Academy of Sciences Gurban Yetirmishli. According to him, the first impulse was recorded at 8:46 am at 34 kilometers in the north of the city of Beylagan - 5.6 magnitude. In the nearby settlements was felt magnitude 5.
Three minutes later, there was a tremor with a magnitude 3.9. Finally, the third impetus magnitude of 4.1 was recorded at 11:51. During a day there were six aftershocks, he said. According to seismologists, the local population should not worry.
Regarding the seismic resistance of buildings in the capital, a seismologist said that all high-rise buildings in Baku will be checked for earthquake resistance. This will be done within the framework of a joint project with the geological organizations in Germany for two years. The implementation of the project is possible beginning since this fall.
Why is it necessary to check the buildings Yetirmishli not explained. According to him, the Seismological Service Center in advance gives an opinion on seismicity of the territory where the residential and commercial high-rise buildings are built. At the same time, the construction process is controlled by the Emergency Ministry. All buildings constructed in Baku are designed for 9-magnitude earthquake, he said. -02D-
