Book Processed Seismic Motion Records from Big Bear  California Earthquake of June 28  1992  Recorded at Seismograph Stations in Southern Nevada

Download or read book Processed Seismic Motion Records from Big Bear California Earthquake of June 28 1992 Recorded at Seismograph Stations in Southern Nevada written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the contract with the US Department of Energy, Nevada Field office (DOE/NV), URS/John A. Blume & Associates, Engineers (URS/Blume) maintains a network of seismographs in southern Nevada to monitor the ground motion generated by the underground nuclear explosions (UNEs) at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The seismographs are located in the communities surrounding the NTS and the Las Vegas valley. When these seismographs are not used for monitoring the UNE generated motions, a limited number of seismographs are maintained for monitoring motion generated by other than UNEs (e.g. motion generated by earthquakes, wind, blast). During the subject earthquake of June 28, 1992, a total of 15 of these systems recorded the earthquake motions. This report contains the recorded data.

Book Urban Disaster Mitigation  The Role of Engineering and Technology

Download or read book Urban Disaster Mitigation The Role of Engineering and Technology written by F.Y. Cheng and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1995-07-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great loss of human life, structural damage, and social and economic upheaval occur repeatedly due to such natural hazards as earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes, landslides, floods and tsunamis. Both the US and Taiwan, along with many other countries, have a history of such occurrences and a common need to reduce their effects. This volume includes papers from the fourth symposium workshop, held jointly between the US and Taiwan to discuss research and its application to multiple hazard mitigation. The workshop, Urban Disaster Mitigation, The Role of Engineering and Technology, discussed lessons learned from recent natural disasters; assessed results of Taiwan's multiple hazards research program and potential application to the US; and proposed further studies on subjects of mutual concern. Topics include recent scientific findings obtained in various natural hazard areas and assessment of actual and potential damage from earthquakes, floods and landslides. Of particular importance are measures that can be taken to mitigate these hazards ranging from use of new algorithms for structural engineering to warning systems for a given region. At a time when natural disasters are widespread, engineers play a key role. Construction methods and building codes are changing; current knowledge shapes the direction of these changes. The research results presented in these proceedings will benefit both the academic and practicing communities around the world, strengthening the relationship between these two important parties.
