Download or read book Homebuyers Guide to Earthquake Hazards in Utah written by Sandra N. Eldredge and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1996-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large, damaging earthquakes can happen in many parts of Utah. Therefore, when choosing where to live in this state, we should be aware of the earthquake risk. It is important to know what potential earthquake hazards exist in an area, and what action we can take to reduce the earthquake risk to ourselves and our families. This brochure introduces homebuyers and others to earthquake hazards so that informed choices can be made when selecting homes, building sites, or hazard-reduction measures.

Download or read book Earthquake Scenario and Probabilistic Ground Shaking Maps for the Salt Lake City Utah Metropolitan Area written by Ivan Gynmun Wong and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2002 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Salt Lake City metropolitan area is one of the most seismically hazardous urban areas in the interior of the western U.S. because of its location within the Intermountain Seismic Belt and its position adjacent to the active Wasatch fault. The elapsed time since the last large earthquake on the Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault is approaching the mean recurrence interval based on the short-term paleoseismic record. In order to help raise the awareness of the general public and to help reduce earthquake risk in this area, we have developed nine microzonation maps showing surficial ground-shaking hazard. The maps are GIS-based and incorporate the site response effects of the unconsolidated sediments that underlie most of the metropolitan area within Salt Lake Valley. These nine maps, at a scale of 1:75,000, make up three sets, each consisting of three maps that display color-contoured ground motions in terms of (1) peak horizontal acceleration, (2) horizontal spectral acceleration at a period of 0.2 sec (5 Hz) and, (3) horizontal spectral acceleration at a period of 1.0 sec (1 Hz). One set of maps consists of deterministic or “scenario” maps for a moment magnitude (M) 7.0 earthquake on the Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault. The two other sets are probabilistic maps for the two return periods of building code relevance, 500 and 2,500 years.

Download or read book Seismic Hazard Study for Utah written by James C. Battis and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the use of two distinct seismic regionalizations, seismic hazard evaluations were conducted for Utah. The two regionalizations were used to depict the possible extremes in further seismic activity in the Utah area. The primary distinction in the models was the treatment of Basin and Range seismicity. In one model, the seismic activity in this province was uniformly distributed; in the other it was concentrated at the province boundaries. With these models, contour maps of peak acceleration and velocity were constructed for Utah, and annual risk curves were evaluated for specific sites within the state. In addition, deterministic hazard estimates were made based on known and suspected Quaternary faults in Utah. It was concluded that for near-term hazard evaluations, the subplate margin provided the most useful hazard projection. Based on this model, 90 percent confidence-level acceleration in Utah are less than 115 cm/sec for any 10-year period and less than 270 cm/sec for any 50-year period. The deterministic modeling predicts that accelerations over 0.8 g are possible throughout much of western Utah and, in particular, the proposed MX basing area. However, it is likely that accelerations of this magnitude would occur on the order of less than once in several thousand years at any specific site within the state.

Download or read book Quaternary Tectonics of Utah with Emphasis on Earthquake hazard Characterization written by Suzanne Hecker and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1993-01-13 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report consolidates and synthesizes information on Quaternary faulting, folding, and volcanism in Utah and characterizes recent tectonic activity throughout the state. The primary purpose is to provide a comprehensive reference on fault-specific seismic sources and surface rupture to facilitate the evaluation of earthquake hazards in Utah. Two 1:500,000-scale maps show Quaternary tectonic features categorized according to probable ages of most recent surface deformation and ages of volcanic rocks. Two appendix tables summarize significant data on the activity of mapped features, including ages of surface displacements and volcanism, slip rates, recurrence intervals, displacement amounts, and lengths of surface ruptures. Good age control and quantitative activity data are available for relatively few tectonic features in Utah and detailed work is needed in many areas of the state. 157 pages + 2 plates
