Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF THE SOUTH CHINA REGION Submitted by MAK SUM for the Degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong March 2005 Recent researches on seismic hazard assessment of Hong Kong have been based on the Component Attenuation Model (CAM), which uses a modeling approach to determine the attenuation effects of the wave transmission path. The method requires knowledge on the crustal geophysical properties, which is previously not available for the region. This study has used the data from the existing earthquake database collected by the digital seismic stations of the Hong Kong Observatory to estimate the crustal properties for Hong Kong and the neighboring region. Additional information on the motions nature of local faults in Hong Kong acquired by this study has also enhanced our understanding of the stress field. This study consists of three specific components. The first one determined the focal mechanisms of several earthquakes near Hong Kong by analyzing their body wave amplitude ratios and the P polarities. The fault motions were found to be generally strike-slip, with the principal compressive stress direction consistent with the regional stress field and in-situ stress data determined by borehole hydrofracturing. The second one investigated the shear wave velocity structure of the shallow crust of Hong Kong by analyzing the dispersion property of R wave generated by quarry blasts. The group velocities for fundamental mode R waves of period T=0.4-1.3 sec were computed and inverted to obtain the velocity structure for 0-1.5 km death range. Observed lateral variation in velocity was correlated with the surficial lithology. The shear wave velocity was found to vary from 1.80 to 2.27 km/sec at the surface, and 2.12 to 2.35 km/sec at the depth of 1.5 km. The third component investigated the crustal anelastic attenuation property, characterized by the Q factor, of the region. Analysis of the coda wave attenuation of 25 local earthquakes, based on the single backscattering model, has yielded Q values (Q at frequency f = 1 Hz) of 224, 342 and 262 for distance ranges RDOI: 10.5353/th_b3058889 Subjects: Earthquake hazard analysis - China - Hong Kong Earthquake hazard analysis - China - Guangdong Sheng Earthquake hazard analysis - China - Fujiang Sheng Earthquake hazard analysis - China - Guangxi Zhuangzu Zizhiqu

Book excerpt: In 1998 Armenia was commemorating the tenth anniversary of the catastrophic Spitak earthquake. The Second International Conference on "Earthquake Hazard and Seismic Risk Reduction" sponsored by the Government of the Republic of Armenia and United Nation's International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (UN/IDNDR) was held in dedication to that event between 14-21 September (later referred to as Yerevan Conference). The Yerevan Conference has been organized by the National Survey for Seismic Protection (NSSP) of the Republic of Armenia. All level's decision-makers (from the ministers to the local authorities), politicians, scientists, leaders of the executive and legislative powers, psychologists, leading businessmen, representatives from the private sector and the media as well as from the International Organizations have been invited by the Armenian NSSP to take part in joint discussion of the Seismic Risk Reduction Problem for the first time in the history of such forums. Armenian NSSP's such initiative has been triggered by the experience of the Spitak earthquake and other disasters. They showed that it will be possible to reduce the risks, posed by the natural disaster, only through the common efforts of all the community in co-operation with the International institutions.

Download or read book Reducing earthquake losses written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquakes have caused massive death and destruction, and potentially damaging earthquakes are certain to occur in the future. Although earthquakes are uncontrollable, the losses they cause can be reduced by building structures that resist earthquake damage, matching land use to risk, developing emergency response plans, and other means. Since 1977, the federal government has had a research oriented program to reduce earthquake losses the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). This program has made significant contributions toward improving our understanding of earthquakes and strategies to reduce their impact. Implementing action based on this understanding, however, has been quite difficult. This chapter provides an introduction to earthquakes: a sum mary of the earthquake hazard across the United States, a review of the types of losses earthquakes cause, a discussion of why earthquakes are a congressional concern, and an introduction to mitigation actions taken prior to earthquakes that can reduce losses when they occur. The federal policy response to date, NEHRP is then described and reviewed. Finally, specific policy options for improving federal efforts to reduce future earthquake losses are presented.
