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: 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: "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.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a comprehensive review of the state of the art of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. This type of analysis essentially provides information regarding the likelihood that various levels of a ground motion parameter will be exceeded in a given period of time. The report begins with a discussion of the various seismic parameters required for the analysis and the calculation of these parameters based on seismic history data. Problems involved in the estimation of these parameters exclusively on the basis of seismological data are outlined, and emphasis is placed on the need to utilize and incorporate geologic and geophysical information in the analysis. A brief presentation of Baye's theorem and discussion of the procedure for seismic hazard estimation using the theorem are provided. The report continues with a presentation of the various mathematical formulations used in the calculation of seismic hazard probabilities. This section also includes a discussion of the use of computer programs to facilitate the calculations involved in the analysis. Concluding the report is a presentation and discussion of the various practical applications of seismic hazard analysis, emphasizing use in structural and geotechnical engineering. Some recent seismic hazard maps for the U.S. incorporating probability calculations are presented and reviewed in this section. (Author).
