Book Compilation of U S geological survey national earthquake hazards reduction program final technical reports for Utah

Download or read book Compilation of U S geological survey national earthquake hazards reduction program final technical reports for Utah written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the Paleoseismology of Utah series, the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) has acquired, scanned, and released in digital format previously hard-to-access legacy reports of paleoseismic fault investigations conducted in Utah. This compilation includes 20 reports pertaining to U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-funded National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) paleoseismic investigations conducted between 1978 and 2012.

Book Consensus Preferred Recurrence interval and Vertical Slip rate Estimates

Download or read book Consensus Preferred Recurrence interval and Vertical Slip rate Estimates written by William R. Lund and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2005-06-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of the Utah Quaternary Fault Parameters Working Group (hereafter referred to as the Working Group) review and evaluation of Utah’s Quaternary fault paleoseismic-trenching data. The purpose of the review was to (1) critically evaluate the accuracy and completeness of the paleoseismictrenching data, particularly regarding earthquake timing and displacement, (2) where the data permit, assign consensus, preferred recurrence-interval (RI) and vertical slip-rate (VSR) estimates with appropriate confidence limits to the faults/fault sections under review, and (3) identify critical gaps in the paleoseismic data and recommend where and what kinds of additional paleoseismic studies should be performed to ensure that Utah’s earthquake hazard is adequately documented and understood. It is important to note that, with the exception of the Great Salt Lake fault zone, the Working Group’s review was limited to faults/fault sections having paleoseismic-trenching data. Most Quaternary faults/fault sections in Utah have not been trenched, but many have RI and VSR estimates based on tectonic geomorphology or other non-trench-derived studies. Black and others compiled the RI and VSR data for Utah’s Quaternary faults, both those with and without trenches.

Book 2016GUIDELINES FOR INVESTIGATING GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND PREPARING ENGINEERING GEOLOGY REPORTS WITH A SUGGESTED APPROACH TO GEOLOGIC HAZARD ORDINANCES IN UTAH

Download or read book 2016GUIDELINES FOR INVESTIGATING GEOLOGIC HAZARDS AND PREPARING ENGINEERING GEOLOGY REPORTS WITH A SUGGESTED APPROACH TO GEOLOGIC HAZARD ORDINANCES IN UTAH written by Steve D. Bowman and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of these guidelines for investigating geologic hazards and preparing engineering-geology reports, is to provide recommendations for appropriate, minimum investigative techniques, standards, and report content to ensure adequate geologic site characterization and geologic-hazard investigations to protect public safety and facilitate risk reduction. Such investigations provide important information on site geologic conditions that may affect or be affected by development, as well as the type and severity of geologic hazards at a site, and recommend solutions to mitigate the effects and the cost of the hazards, both at the time of construction and over the life of the development. The accompanying suggested approach to geologic-hazard ordinances and school-site investigation guidelines are intended as an aid for land-use planning and regulation by local Utah jurisdictions and school districts, respectively. Geologic hazards that are not accounted for in project planning and design often result in additional unforeseen construction and/or future maintenance costs, and possible injury or death.
