This book was released on 1997 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jan. 17, 1995, Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake was one of the worst disasters to hit Japan in almost half a century. It has been compared in its impact to the great Kanto (Tokyo) Earthquake of 1923. The Kobe-Osaka region held many similarities in its geologic and tectonic setting to many areas along the West Coast, and possibly, other areas of the U.S. A geotechnical reconnaissance to identify the relevant problems and issues was organized. This report provides a timely, first-hand overview of the type and extent of the geotechnical aspects of the damage.

Download or read book Geodetic And Geophysical Effects Associated With Seismic And Volcanic Hazards written by José Fernandez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although geodetic monitoring techniques have been widely used in areas of seismic or volcanic activity, the difficulty inherent to their discrete nature means that they must be deployed carefully to ensure the best possible detection or sensitivity of these points (see e. g. , BALDI and UNGUENDOLI, 1987; JOHNSON and WYATT, 1994; SEGALL and MATTHEWS, 1997; Yu et al. , 2000). In many cases, a more global monitoring method, is required yet at the same time one that offers the highest level of sensitivity which enables detection of the phenomenon. Interferometry radar (InSAR) techniques have been shown to play an important role in seismic and volcanic monitoring because they cover large areas (100 x 100 km) and can be easily systematized in monitoring (see e. g. , MASSONNET and FEIGL, 1998; BDRGMANN et al. , 2000; MASSONNET and SIGMUNDSON, 2000; HANSSEN, 2001). The limitations inherent to the GPS and InSAR techniques (mainly observations at discrete surface points in the case of GPS and existence of non-coherent areas and the fact that, at present, the three displacement components cannot be obtained in SAR interferometry) can be overcome by using them together or other techniques (e. g. , PUGLISI and COLTELLI, 2001; RODRiGUEZ-VELASCO et al. , 2002; FERNANDEZ et al. , 2003).

Download or read book Earthquake Proof Design and Active Faults written by Y. Kanaori and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-04-02 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 17th January 1995 an inland earthquake of 7.2 magnitude occurred under Kobe city in central Japan. More than 5,500 people lost their lives. There was immense and serious damage to buildings. Researchers and engineers were shocked and astonished by the extent of the devastation and loss of life. Ground motions, generated by the event were far greater than the seismic standard for earthquake-proof designs in Japan. Recent academic progress in the fields of geology and geophysics, which would help to reduce the severity of seismic disasters, has not been sufficiently applied to the development of earthquake-proof designs. This book contains 13 original and innovative papersof interdisciplinary study spanning earthquake-proof technology and active fault science (seven of the papers cover topics concerning the 1995 Kobe earthquake).
Download or read book Multiple Support Response Spectrum Analysis of Bridges Including the Site response Effect MSRS Code written by Armen Der Kiureghian and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive investigation of the Multiple Support Response Spectrum (MSRS) method for seismic analysis of bridges and other multiply supported structures is presented. The method accurately accounts for the spatial variability of ground motions, including the effects of incoherence, wave passage, and spatially varying site response. The structural response is obtained in terms of response spectra and peak displacements at individual support degrees of freedom, and a coherency function that characterizes the three spatial variability effects. Special attention is given to the effect of site response arising from variation in the soil conditions at different supports of the structure. Through extensive comparisons with time history analysis, the validity of the MSRS rule and the site response component of the coherency function are established. Methods for estimating the site frequency response function, needed in the coherency model, are developed and examined. These models and rules are implemented in the MSRS code for application to three-dimensional, multiply supported structures. Using the MSRS code, extensive parametric studies are performed for two example bridge structures. The report concludes with a summary of guidelines for practical implementation of the MSRS rule.

Book excerpt: The feasibility of accelerating the discovery of new knowledge on the seismic behavior and response of the built environment and the complex civil infrastructure systems comprising major urban centers, and of synthesizing, transferring and utilizing this knowledge effectively in mitigating the potential life, physical, social and economic losses resulting from a major urban earthquake was explored at a bilateral Workshop convened in Maui, Hawaii during December 14 through 16, 1995. The 51 participants at the workshop were selected from leading experts from Japan, the U.S. and elsewhere in a wide variety of disciplines from engineering, social science and public policy research. The objective of this Workshop was to identify a research agenda related to urban earthquake loss reduction through a synthesis of available knowledge about the Hyogoken, Nanbu and Northridge earthquake disasters.
