Abstract

Abstract: Landslides, rock blocks falls, liquefaction, the appearance of the surface fault and flood present the principle geological-hazard in relationship with earthquakes which will be mapped in the region of Algiers. The determination of these areas passes through a qualitative and quantitative analysis based on a recognition of the soil conditions; geological, lithological, hydro-geological, topographic, morphological and geotechnical. The assessment and mapping of the degree of induced hazard allows individualizing homogeneous areas that can behave similarly during the earthquakes.
