Download or read book Seismic Velocity Models for Western Alluvial Basins written by James C. Battis and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made of the open literature on the geologic structure of the Basin and Range Province of the western United States. Based on this study, an attempt was made to derive a model of a typical basin for use in estimating the seismic ground motion characteristics of alluvial basins in the designated MX deployment area. Among the topics investigated are dimensions and structure of an average basin and characteristic seismic velocities in the basin interiors. In addition, many of the basins are expected to show significant variations from a typical structure and these variations are discussed.

Download or read book Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering Design written by Michele Maugeri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pseudo-static analysis is still the most-used method to assess the stability of geotechnical systems that are exposed to earthquake forces. However, this method does not provide any information about the deformations and permanent displacements induced by seismic activity. Moreover, it is questionable to use this approach when geotechnical systems are affected by frequent and rare seismic events. Incidentally, the peak ground acceleration has increased from 0.2-0.3 g in the seventies to the current value of 0.6-0.8 g. Therefore, a shift from the pseudo-static approach to performance-based analysis is needed. Over the past five years considerable progress has been made in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering Design (EGED). The most recent advances are presented in this book in 6 parts. The evaluation of the site amplification is covered in Part I of the book. In Part II the evaluation of the soil foundation stability against natural slope failure and liquefaction is treated. In the following 3 Parts of the book the EGED for different geotechnical systems is presented as follows: the design of levees and dams including natural slopes in Part III; the design of foundations and soil structure interaction analysis in Part IV; underground structures in Part V. Finally in Part VI, new topics like the design of reinforced earth retaining walls and landfills are covered.

Download or read book The Seismic Velocity Model as an Interpretation Asset written by Phil Schultz and published by SEG Books. This book was released on 1998-12-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 3D velocity model is built with a both geophysical and geologic input because of the accuracy demands of depth imaging, so it becomes an increasingly effective interpretive tool. This book addresses ways in which the interpreter should participate in development of the model and underscores its interpretive value with case study examples.
