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.

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: The published evidence of reservoir-induced macroearthquakes is critically reviewed. The evidence is partitioned into three types: (a) evidence of a postimpoundment increase in seismicity, (b) correlation evidence that is composed of a plot of a reservoir variable and a seismicity variable and, in most cases, an auxiliary variable, time, and (c) evidence based on the slope of the magnitude-frequency relationship (b value evidence). The basic source for each of these types of evidence is a suitably edited catalog of earthquake occurrences. Recommendations are given regarding catalog preparation and editing. The types of evidence are examined to recognize the effects of common methods of data acquisition and treatment. Postimpoundment change in seismicity can be assessed using certain recommended statistical tests. Recommendations are made regarding construction and interpretation of correlation evidence. The interpretation of correlation evidence is subjective because the assumptions required to construct and interpret the evidence cannot be verified. Evidence based on the b value is shown to be useless as a discriminant to identify induced seismicity from normal seismicity. Eight cases of reservoir induced macroearthquakes are reviewed. These eight cases are: (a) Hoover/Lake Mead, (b) Kariba, (c) Kremasta, (d) Koyna, (e) Kurobe, (f) Manic 3, (g) Hsinfengkiang, and (h) Nurek.

This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering geologists face the task of addressing geological factors that can affect planning with little time and with few resources. A solution is using the right tools to save time searching for answers and devote attention to making critical engineering decisions. The Handbook of Research on Trends and Digital Advances in Engineering Geology is an essential reference source for the latest research on new trends, technology, and computational methods that can model engineering phenomena automatically. Featuring exhaustive coverage on a broad range of topics and perspectives such as acoustic energy, landslide mapping, and natural hazards, this publication is ideally designed for academic scientists, industry and applied researchers, and policy and decision makers seeking current research on new tools to aid in timely decision-making of critical engineering situations.
