This special issue of Natural Science, entitled Earthquakes, tackles a wide range of research subjects related to earthquakes, including their nature, measures, causes of occurrence, characteristics, attenuation modeling, soil wave amplification, methods and tools of recording, analysis and prediction, their effect on the built environment and methods of design, analysis, assessment, control and repair of engineering structures against seismic loads resulting from earthquakes. This special issue of Natural Science considers also other related subjects on explosions and volcanic phenomena and hyperbaric-Oxygen treatment due to crush injury resulting from earthquakes. The special issue contains fourteen research papers written by researchers and experts from several countries.

On 26 December 2003 an earthquake of magnitude Ms = 6.5 with a focal depth of about 8km occurred in southeastern Iran. The earthquake caused intense ground shaking throughout the affected area. Special structures such as on-grade steel oil tanks, elevated tanks, and industrial equipment were damaged during the earthquake. This paper presents the results of an investigation of the behavior of these special structures in Bam. Strong motion characteristics as recorded by accelerograms are discussed, as well as the failure modes of structures and components located within the affected area. An investigation into the response of an electrical transformer was carried out as a case study of a simple system.
