Download or read book Source Mechanism Study of the Alaska Earthquake and Tsunami of 27 March 1964 Part I Water Waves Part Ii Analysis of Rayleigh Wave written by George Pararas-Carayannis and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geologic history and a short description of the general geomorphology of the area affected by the 27 March 1964 Alaska earthquake are given. The extent of crustal displacement and the limits of the areas of subsidence and uplift as revealed by geologic evidence are discussed, as well as the method by which the tsunamigenerating area was determined. The dimensions of this tsunami-generating area, its volume of crustal displacement, and the energy associated with the tsunami are calculated. There follows a short discussion on wave activity within and outside the generating area, and the possible generating mechanisms for the tsunami. Included as an appendix are two wave refraction diagrams of the Alaska tsunami drawn for the north Pacific Ocean area. The source mechanism of the Alaska Earthquake of 27 Mar 1964 was investigated by analyzing the Rayleigh wave recorded on the strain seismograph at Kipapa Station, Hawaii. The parameters that gave the best fit to the observed data were: rupture length of 800 km, rupture velocity of 3 km/sec, and direction of rupture line of S30 deg W. The results of this analysis compared favorably with field data of elevation changes, with distribution of epicenters of aftershocks, and with the area of generation of the tsunami as obtained from sea wave refraction diagrams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tsunami of Good Friday196k. The evaluation is directed to an engineering view of the causes,effects, and future protective measures. A secondary purpose is to evaluate the oceanographic and geophysical nature of tsunami generation.Based on the literature of earlier investigators and on field investigation by the authors, the study gives a picture of what occurred.Analyses by the authors also suggest an explanation of how it occurred.Started nearly two years after the event, the study had the advantage of collecting data from a great number of sources - sources that would not have been available much closer to the event. A disadvantage was that vital engineering evidence concerning structural damage was lost during cleanup and reconstruction.Nature of the earth dislocation is described and related to the generation, propagation, and dispersion of the main tsunami waves. Itis inferred that this earthquake (as perhaps many great earthquakes) was triggered by the lunisolar forces on the earth's crust at syzygy and by the moment-arm forces of local spring tide differentials. The complex tectonic movements may, for simplification, be imagined as a gigantic wave-paddle that pushed an initial wave 10 to 20 meters high along a front of 650 kilometers. Propagation of this enormous wave is followed-to Canada, Washington, Oregon, and California, to Hawaii, Russia, Japan,and New Zealand, even to Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica.Detailed studies of the main tsunami and local seismic sea waves are given for damaged areas in Alaska, especially those in Prince William Sound. Similar studies are presented for a'"as in Canada, Washington,Oregon and California. In addition to the wave analysis for each place,an engineering evaluation is presented for severely damaged areas.Included are marigrams of component waves and oscillations for manyplaces reached by the tsunami, based on a subjective analysis of tide gage records. These analyses relate the tsunami waves to local bay andshelf oscill ations, and to the local tides"--Page iii.
