[2] [3] The earthquake had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XII (Extreme). [4] The intraplate earthquake measured 7.6 on the moment magnitude scale and occurred at a depth of 17.4 km (10.8 mi). [1] The earthquake killed at least 20,023 people, injured another 166,000 and destroyed about 400,000 buildings in Gujarat, India and Sindh, Pakistan.

Smritivan Earthquake Memorial and Museum is a memorial park dedicated to the victims of 2001 Gujarat earthquake and museum on Bhujiyo Hill in Bhuj, Kutch district (Kachchh), Gujarat, India. The project is developed by Gujarat State Disaster Management Authority (GSDMA) and managed by KPMG Advisory Services Pvt Ltd.
The Gujarat earthquake of 2001 majorly affected the city of Gandhidham along with many nearby towns like Bhuj, Anjar, Bhachau and more. The shock, which measured 7.7 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI ( Extreme ), killed 13,805–20,023, left roughly 166,800 injured, and many were left homeless including ...
During an earthquake, ground acceleration is measured in three directions: vertically (V or UD, for up-down) and two perpendicular horizontal directions (H1 and H2), often north–south (NS) and east–west (EW). The peak acceleration in each of these directions is recorded, with the highest individual value often reported.
It is routinely used to provide post-earthquake situational awareness for emergency management and response and for damage and loss estimation. ShakeMap is also the primary shaking hazard input for many other downstream USGS earthquake products, including ShakeCast's assessments of critical facilities, PAGER 's societal losses, and estimates of ...
The IS code assigns a zone factor of 0.36 for Zone 5. Structural designers use this factor for the earthquake-resistant design of structures in Zone 5. The zone factor of 0.36 (the maximum horizontal acceleration that a structure can experience) is indicative of effective (zero period) level earthquakes in this zone.
The thermal night recording on January 6, 21 and 28, 2001 in the Gujarat region of India. Marked with an asterisk is the epicenter of the Bhuj earthquake on January 26 that was of 7.9 magnitude. The intermediate recording reveals a thermal anomaly on January 21 which is shown in red.
