Abstract:
One of the main objectives of the FP7 SHARE (“Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe”) project is to reconsider all the information related to historical earthquakes. As a part of this task, we carried out a detailed analysis of the Vrancea large event occurred on 23 January 1838 (magnitude 7.5 in the Romanian catalogue). Valuable information has been collected from original or compiled historical sources, such as chronicles and manuscripts on that time, and related books and reports. The historical data are critically analyzed and, on the basis of our investigation, we show the degree of significance of the earthquake parameters, as resulted from the effect distribution.
