Tabriz is one of cities in Iran that has faced several earthquakes because it is located on a fault. Different parameters are involved related toseismic hazards of one particular region, that investing each of them is essential. One of the effective factors that has been recognized according todifferent earthquake experiences worldwide, is the local and geotechnical status of alluviums lie on the bedrock. In this study in order to acquirethe earthquake acceleration in the region seismic bedrock, the “PSHA” probabilistic procedure has been applied. In this regard, firstly seismicparameters of the region have been acquired and then considering all the faults of the region and modeling the seismic sources and by means of“Seisrisk” software, the maximum acceleration of the bedrock (PGA) for an earthquake with return period of 475 years in the urban range hasbeen resulted which have been presented as level curve maps of maximum acceleration of bed rock. Afterwards by means of Geotechnical datacollected from exploratory bore holes excavated in the region and other sources, finally 51 representative seismic Geotechnic profiles has beenprepared. in order to execute the alluvium response analyze, region bedrock seismic movement estimation is needed. Thus considering all factors,8 appropriate entrance accelerograms opted and maximum acceleration of these accelerograms tantamounted to maximum acceleration of seismicbedrock in range of each section and each representative section for these 8 accelerograms has been analaysed. According to almost horizontalstatus of alluvium layers of the region, one dimensional dynamic analyze has been applied in order to calculate the dynamic response of soillayers. In addition the linear equivalent analysis procedure in mediocre strain range and hypothesis of no failure due to earthquake in alluvium,has made the use of EERA software possible in this study. The results of analysis of alluvium response for regions in the city which geotechnicalspecifications of alluvium layers had been collected, has been presented as maximum acceleration distribution and response acceleration spectrummaps on the ground for entrance movements and alluvium normal period distribution map. Alluvium response analyze results shows thatacceleration on ground level will have amounts between 0.55g up to 0.75g for an earthquake with returning period of 475 years . Also in studyrange, regions with alluvium natural period more than 0.45 sec and less than 0.3 sec exist.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
