Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in the fields of remote sensing, engineering geology, seismology, and earthquake engineering have developed a need for a systematic comprehensive review of the basic principles and methods of applying remote sensing for evaluation of earthquakes hazards and seismic risk. This paper responds to this need by reviewing basic concepts, summarizing essential, state-of-the-art knowledge of theory and instrumental methods, establishing procedures evaluations, and discussing representative case histories that illustrate earthquake hazard evaluations that are based on remote sensing analysis. The approach that is recommended is based on a 'multi' approach that uses an integrated and systematic study of a region or a fault with a variety of imagery varying from small-scale (synoptic) to large-scale (detailed). The imagery analysis should be followed by a ground verification program of study that should include both ground and aerial reconnaissance examination of the major geologic structures of concern. The character of the earthquake hazards is discussed in the context of the lithologic, structural, vegetational, and topographic variations that are associated with different types of active geologic structures. The response of earth materials, landforms, and geologic structures is summarized for the several main types of passive and active electromagnetic radiation used in current remote-sensing practice. Limitations of the different spectral regions used in remote sensing are reviewed to assist in the selection of ideal methods or sequences of methods of study for effective evaluation of active or capable faults and for assessing the earthquake potential of geological structures that may affect a given engineering site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is concerned with the problem of estimating credible values of the peak velocity and acceleration of the ground motion for central United States earthquakes. The report contains a catalog of all known earthquakes large enough to be felt or of body-wave magnitude greater than or equal to 3. The data of the catalog are plotted on a map, which together with structural geological information is used to identify eight seismic source zones in the central United States. The boundaries of the source zones are inexact, so that special study will be required for establishing credible ground-motion values for sites near the boundaries. A maximum-magnitude earthquake is determined for each zone, as well as a magnitude-recurrence equation. Using the Murphy-O'Brien formulation, as well as theoretical results of Herrmann and a limited amount of strong-motion data for the central United States, equations are derived for that region which relate maximum horizontal acceleration and velocity to body-wave magnitude and epicentral distance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Earthquakes of engineering interest are normally considered to result only from slippage or movement along existing faults. Hence, the detection of existing faults and their assessment as active or inactive constitutes an essential aspect of earthquake design. Some faults in soft sediments, through active, may not have the capability of generating earthquakes and must be so interpreted. Active faults generally may be evaluated for their maximum capacity to generate earthquakes through a synthesis of the local geologic and seismic history and worldwide relationships between fault dimensions earthquakes. Major earthquakes are caused by slippage along large faults, which are unlikely to be missed in detailed geologic investigations for sites in western United States. This may not be the case in the central and eastern United States. Small faults may be missed in any investigation so that a floating earthquake of limited size must be assumed to account for them. When faulting is not manifest at the surface, seismic history and geologic investigations can define geographic limits or zones for which floating earthquakes of various sizes are assigned"--Page ix.

Factors in the Specification of Ground Motions for Design Earthquakes in California written by Renner B. Hofmann and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accelerations of 0.4g to over 1.0g from earthquakes of magnitudes 4.5 to 6.5 have been recorded near their sources. In practice, design earthquake procedures extrapolate recorded data, usually to within a few miles of the source fault. The bases for these extrapolations either are purely statistical or are contingent upon assumed time functions of fault displacement. When modified to account for fault dislocation, curves of maximum acceleration at a predominant period versus magnitude and depth adequately predict peak accelerations near the source as well as at a distance. Peak accelerations occur only during a fraction of the duration of high-amplitude shaking and attenuate more rapidly with distance than the general level of high accelerations. Peak accelerations at 10 Hz appear to be limited by the effective stress locking a fault just prior to the time of rupture. Peaks up to 2.0g may or may not occur and are essentially independent of magnitude. Topography, absorption, and transmission of seismic energy through sedimentary layers are shown to have frequency- and distance-dependent effects on the resulting shaking at the surface. Duration of shaking and distortions of the surface in areas of sedimentary cover are also shown to be important considerations in the specification of design earthquakes. (Modified author abstract).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The earthquake risk problems in the Central United States, taken to be approximately the area east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Appalachians, is discussed. The seismic history of the area is reviewed and is used to divide the area into the various seismic regions. A design earthquake, defined as the largest earthquake that can be expected to occur within an area, is specified for each of the three seismic regions. Specification of the design earthquake is accomplished by giving ground displacement, particle velocity, and acceleration values in hard rock as a function of distance from the earthquake, for three particular wave frequencies. The results are presented in graphical and tabular form. A brief discussion of the effects of soil instability is included. The problem is of particular importance in the Mississippi and other major river valleys of the Central United States"--Page ix
