Download or read book Earthquake Microzoning written by Antoni Roca and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many past and recent earthquakes it has been shown that the local conditions and, in particular, the local geology have a great influence on the observed seismic ground motion and, consequently, on the damage distribution in housing, industrial stock, and life-lines. Seismic microzoning is the usual procedure to have these local effects taken into account for engineering design and land-use planning, being a useful tool for earthquake risk mitigation. This volume presents a collection of papers mainly originated from a workshop on Seismic Microzoning, organized during the 23rd General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) in Nice, France in April 1998. The workshop dealt with various geophysical tools for analysing the effects of the local soils of subsurface geology on seismic ground motion, namely the methods using experimental data such as microtremors, and the theoretical/numerical 1-D and 2-D modelling methods. Additional contributions discussing techniques for characterising soil properties, microzoning applications to several urban areas, and others were added to the volume to broaden this important topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The destructive force of earthquakes has stimulated human inquiry since ancient times, yet the scientific study of earthquakes is a surprisingly recent endeavor. Instrumental recordings of earthquakes were not made until the second half of the 19th century, and the primary mechanism for generating seismic waves was not identified until the beginning of the 20th century. From this recent start, a range of laboratory, field, and theoretical investigations have developed into a vigorous new discipline: the science of earthquakes. As a basic science, it provides a comprehensive understanding of earthquake behavior and related phenomena in the Earth and other terrestrial planets. As an applied science, it provides a knowledge base of great practical value for a global society whose infrastructure is built on the Earth's active crust. This book describes the growth and origins of earthquake science and identifies research and data collection efforts that will strengthen the scientific and social contributions of this exciting new discipline.

Download or read book Experimental Investigation of the Topographic Modification of Earthquake Ground Motion written by Jacob Dafni and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topographic modification of earthquake ground motion can significantly impact ground motion amplitude and frequency content. While previous studies have investigated topographic modification of ground motion, also called "topographic effects", there are discrepancies between the results of field and numerical investigations. A new experimental approach involving physical modeling in a geotechnical centrifuge was used to study topographic effects. The centrifuge captures the complexity of a physical process and shares many of the advantages of a numerical model (e.g., material properties, instrumentation location, and ground motions can be controlled). Experimental results show that topographic amplification can exceed amplification due to subsurface geology (i.e., "site amplification"). The results also indicate the main cause of topographic amplification is slope resonance, which leads to differential movement, and the development of shear planes between the slope and surrounding landmass. Slope resonant frequencies are within the range considered in engineering practice, which can impact the design of structures near slopes. Findings from the centrifuge investigation were used to inform analyses of a ridge in the Port Hills suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand. Topographic effects were analyzed using data from a downhole array located adjacent to two cliff faces. A simplified procedure was adopted to establish a reference free field station. Results of the analyses were found to be in good agreement with the centrifuge investigation.

This book was released on 2006-01-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improved Seismic Monitoringâ€"Improved Decision-Making, describes and assesses the varied economic benefits potentially derived from modernizing and expanding seismic monitoring activities in the United States. These benefits include more effective loss avoidance regulations and strategies, improved understanding of earthquake processes, better engineering design, more effective hazard mitigation strategies, and improved emergency response and recovery. The economic principles that must be applied to determine potential benefits are reviewed and the report concludes that although there is insufficient information available at present to fully quantify all the potential benefits, the annual dollar costs for improved seismic monitoring are in the tens of millions and the potential annual dollar benefits are in the hundreds of millions.
