Download or read book Geological Hazards in the UK written by D.P. Giles and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK is perhaps unique globally in that it presents the full spectrum of geological time, stratigraphy and associated lithologies within its boundaries. With this wide range of geological assemblages comes a wide range of geological hazards, whether they be geophysical (earthquakes, effects of volcanic eruptions, tsunami, landslides), geotechnical (collapsible, compressible, liquefiable, shearing, swelling and shrinking soils), geochemical (dissolution, radon and methane gas hazards) or georesource related (coal, chalk and other mineral extraction). An awareness of these hazards and the risks that they pose is a key requirement of the engineering geologist. The Geological Society considered that a Working Party Report would help to put the study and assessment of geohazards into the wider social context, helping the engineering geologist to better communicate the issues concerning geohazards in the UK to the client and the public. This volume sets out to define and explain these geohazards, to detail their detection, monitoring and management and to provide a basis for further research and understanding.

Download or read book Earthquake Hazard and Risk in the UK written by Ove Arup & Partners and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK, although it is an area of low seismicity, has suffered occasional earthquakes over the centuries. To date, structural design in the UK has only acknowledged earthquake loading for nuclear plants and other similar facilities. However, the issue of earthquake design criteria for conventional structures has arisen because of the proposal for a standard European seismic code of building practice. Therefore the Department of the Environment commissioned this study from Ove Arup and Partners to develop an appreciation of seismic risk to the UK insofar as it affects the built environment, and to determine whether seismicity should be taken into account in future planning decisions, and, if so, how. This is their summary report.
Download or read book Earthquake Data in Engineering Seismology written by Sinan Akkar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses current activities in strong-motion networks around the globe, covering issues related to designing, maintaining and disseminating information from these arrays. The book is divided into three principal sections. The first section includes recent developments in regional and global ground-motion predictive models. It presents discussions on the similarities and differences of ground motion estimations from these models and their application to design spectra as well as other novel procedures for predicting engineering parameters in seismic regions with sparse data. The second section introduces topics about the particular methodologies being implemented in the recently established global and regional strong-motion databanks in Europe to maintain and disseminate the archived accelerometric data. The final section describes major strong-motion arrays around the world and their historical developments. The last three chapters of this section introduce projects carried out within the context of arrays deployed for seismic risk studies in metropolitan areas. Audience: This timely book will be of particular interest for researchers who use accelerometric data extensively to conduct studies in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.

Download or read book Seismic Hazard of the Circum Pannonian Region written by Giuliano F. Panza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: requiring the adaptation of probabilistic maps to design ground motions; and (d) the generalization of design parameters to locations where there is little seismic history. Maximum displacements, velocities, and, based on the European Build ing Code EC8, design ground acceleration maps have thus been produced by ZivCic et al. for Slovenia, Marku§ic et al. for Croatia, Bus et al. for Hungary, and Radulian et al. for Romania. The last two contributions in the volume are dedicated to studies of local site effects that could affect the microzonation of large urban areas. Moldoveanu et al. employed a technique based on the modal summation and finite dif ferences to calculate the expected ground motion in the capital city of Bucha rest due to large intermediate-depth Vrancea earthquakes. Their results outline that the presence of alluvial sediments and the possible variation of event scenario require the use of all three components of motion for a reliable determination of the seismic input. The study of Marmureanu et al. , more limited in scope, offers a laboratory analysis of the attenuation effects for sur face layers. The authors confirm that seismic attenuation in sedimentary layers is a function of the strain levels induced by large earthquakes, and find that the quality factor is nearly constant over a relatively wide frequency range, between 7 and 100 Hz.

Download or read book Appraisal of Existing Seismic Hazard Estimates for the UK Continental Shelf written by D. J. Mallard and published by . This book was released on 2003-11-06 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first seismic hazard estimates for the UKCS were made for HSE in 1986, with later assessments being made in 1993 and 2002.Since the work on the most recent of these studies was completed, a draft ISO standard and a NORSOK standard have been published. Also, a medium-sized earthquake has occurred in the central North Sea, in an area previously considered to have low seismic activity. In this report, the most recent estimates (given in report OTO 2002/005) are synthesized with those from the earlier studies, using a specially-designed rating scheme, to generate hybrid contour maps of the peak ground acceleration (pga) hazard. The reliability of these hybrid results is assessed by comparison with provisional, newly-calculated, de-minimis hazard figures based on catalogue completeness considerations. recommended that the 10-4 p.a.probability of exceedance pga hazard figure at any point in the offshore UKCS east of longitude 10 W should be taken to be highest of the figures given by: the new map of allowable minimal hazard levels, the new synthesized hazard map, and the estimate given by report OTO 2002/005. As there is no current information on hazard exposure at the lower frequencies that are of concern when designing offshore installations, recommendations are made as to how such estimates could be calculated. The characterization of ground motion is discussed, noting the significance of the differences between hard and soft sites and current thinking on vertical motion. Attention is drawn to policy and technical issues that remain unresolved and suggestions made as to how those issues could be addressed.
