This book was released on 2013 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The East Tennessee seismic zone (ETSZ) is the second most active in the eastern United States, but recorded earthquakes do not exceed Mw̳ [moment magnitude] = 4.6. Earthquake epicenters are located 5-26 kilometers deep in autochthonous basement, and faults producing these earthquakes do not break the surface. Detailed paleoseismic investigations at sites within the ETSZ include: detailed geological mapping, trenching, aerial photograph reconnaissance, X-ray diffraction (XRD), grain-size analysis, and optically stimulated luminescence dating of alluvium. Site DL-6 near Dandridge, Tennessee, reveals a complex array of features providing evidence that at least 4‒6 Mw̳ > 6 earthquakes affected the area. A thrust fault with ~1 meter displacement is traceable for ~50 meters in the mapped area from Quaternary terrace sediments into Ordovician Sevier Shale saprolite where it develops multiple splays. This fault truncates a 30 centimeter-wide Quaternary sediment-filled fissure; the fissure is also offset ~10 centimeters by a small strike-slip fault that truncates against a splay of the main thrust fault. The fissure may be traceable for over 2 kilometers across Douglas Reservoir. Fault surface and slickenline orientations indicate west-vergent slip on many thrust splay surfaces. Fracture orientations measured at site DL-6 are close to those in Sevier Shale here; reactivation of near-vertical fractures is mostly strike-slip. Additionally, shale chips in Quaternary sediment at a nearby site at Dandridge, Tennessee, contain the same mineralogy as underlying Sevier Shale, indicating that these chips may have been liquefied and brought up through Quaternary terrace sediments during an earthquake. Sites along the Chattooga River near Lyerly, Georgia, provide evidence for at least one Mw̳ > 6 earthquake. Sand dikes emanating from a source bed in a cut bank contain liquefiable sediments that intruded overlying cap sediments; grain-size and XRD analyses suggest cap sediments are more clay-rich than source or dike sediments. Aerial photographs of the area contain elliptical discontinuities that may represent sand blow deposits. Field reconnaissance of the area identified possible feeder dikes to sand blows; further investigation is required. Collectively, these data provide substantial evidence for the occurrence of Mw̳ > 6 earthquakes in the ETSZ, and motivate further paleoseismic studies here.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the results of an investigation of seismic hazard at the Department of Energy Oak Ridge Reservations (K-25 Site, Oak Ridge National Laboratories, and Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant), located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Oak Ridge is located in eastern Tennessee, in an area of moderate to high historical seismicity. Results from two separate seismic hazard analyses are presented. The EPRI/SOG analysis uses the input data and methodology developed by the Electric Power Research Institute, under the sponsorship of several electric utilities, for the evaluation of seismic hazard in the central and eastern United States. The LLNL analysis uses the input data and methodology developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Both the EPRI/SOG and LLNL studies characterize earth-science uncertainty on the causes and characteristics of earthquakes in the central and eastern United States. This is accomplished by considering multiple hypotheses on the locations and parameters of seismic source zones and by considering multiple attenuation functions for the prediction of ground shaking given earthquake size and location. These hypotheses were generated by multiple expert teams and experts. Furthermore, each team and expert was asked to generate multiple hypotheses in order to characterize his own internal uncertainty. The seismic-hazard calculations are performed for all hypotheses. Combining the results from each hypothesis with the weight associated to that hypothesis, one obtains an overall representation of the seismic hazard at the Oak Ridge site and its uncertainty.
