This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Earthquake Investigations Committee of the Technical Council of Lifeline Earthquake Engineering ASCE. This TCLEE Monograph summarizes the damage done to various lifelines from the 6.8 Mw earthquake that occurred in the coastal waters off the Boumerdes Department, east of Algiers, Algeria, on May 21, 2003. An estimated 2,266 people were killed, 10,260 injured, and more than 200,000 left homeless. Many of the three- to five-story reinforced concrete apartment buildings, less than three years old, were destroyed by either total or partial collapse. Topics include: geosciences and geotechnical engineering; general building damage; potable water systems; power systems; the highway system; ports and airports; railroads; communication systems; oil and liquid fuels; hospitals; and emergency response. Readers will benefit from the lessons learned sections, which analyze other lifeline systems and compare expected earthquake performance, thus helping to minimize damage, save money, and reduce recovery time.

Download or read book San Simeon Earthquake of December 22 2003 and Denali Alaska Earthquake of November 3 2002 written by Mark Yashinsky and published by Amer Society of Civil Engineers. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a record of lifeline performance during the two most damaging U.S. earthquakes at the start of 21st century. Information is provided on current seismic practice, on the seismic resistance and vulnerability of different infrastructure, and on the present understanding of engineers who design roads, bridges, pipelines, and power systems. This monograph will be useful to researchers, practicing engineers, and administrators interested in the repercussions of building lifelines near earthquake faults, on seasonally frozen soils, on loose sands and alluvium, and in regions with complex or unknown seismicity. The Earthquake Investigations Committee of the Technical Council of Lifeline Earthquake engineering (TCLEE), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) was established to initiate, organize, train for, coordinate, and evaluate the performance of lifelines following earthquakes. Topics on the San Simeon Earthquake: Seismology and Geotechnical Issues; Communications; Dams; Power Systems; Gas and Liquid Fuel; Highways and Bridges; Airports and Ports; Railroads; Water Systems; Wastewater Systems; and Emergency Response. Topics on the Denali Earthquake: Seismology and Geotechnical Issues; Highway System; Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS); Airports; Water and Wastewater; Communications; Railways; and Electric Power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You can't really know the place where you live until you know the shapes and origins of the land around you. To feel truly at home in the Bay Area, read Doris Sloan's intriguing stories of this region's spectacular, quirky landscapes."—Hal Gilliam, author of Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region "This is a fascinating look at some of the world's most complex and engaging geology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an understanding of the beautiful landscape and dynamic geology of the Bay Area."—Mel Erskine, geological consultant "This accessible summary of San Francisco Bay Area geology is particularly timely. We are living in an age where we must deal with our impact on our environment and the impact of the environment on us. Earthquake hazards, and to a lesser extent landslide hazards, are well known, but the public also needs to be aware of other important engineering and environmental impacts and geologic resources. This book will allow Bay Area residents to make more intelligent decisions about the geological issues affecting their lives."—John Wakabayashi, geological consultant
