heal.abstract	Results are presented from multidisciplinary studies regarding the M(S)=6.2, 15 June, 1995 Aegion Earthquake (Gulf of Corinth, Greece). From a seismological point of view this event deserves attention since it is the first well documented earthquake resulting from low angle (33°) normal faulting. From a geotechnical point of view, attention is focused upon the high acceleration (0.54g), long period (0.40-50s) ground motion recorded in the city of Aegion, which is attributed to the coincidence of a number of independent factors: directivity of rupture, soil amplification and topography effects. In addition, the analysis of structural damage within the city of Aegion and ground failures along both coasts of the Gulf provides new insight to earthquake-induced failure mechanisms.	en
