Book Description
This study attempts to determine site effects on earthquake ground motion and the correlation between acceleration and/or velocity generated during the San Fernando Earthquake and topography of the San Gabriel Mountain range. It was found that the contours of peak acceleration and peak velocity generally follow the topography of the San Gabriel Mountain range. The topographical effects on the ground motion could be interpreted in a simple manner as a function of elevation and direction of wave transmission path. The elevation and direction become the dominant factors in the distribution of the ground motion in the near field. A simple, practical method for calculating the bedrock motion using the ground motion-elevation gradient has been applied in the area south of Kagel Mountain and north of Santa Monica Mountain, in the San Fernando Valley. This method is validated using after-shock data. This ground motion-elevation gradient method was applied to an area where the topography has its highest elevation at the epicentral region and decreases in elevation to the surrounding locations in the near field (within 30 km). In any case, when the epicenter occurs at an elevation lower than the elevation of the surrounding area, this gradient method may not be applicable and must be tested for this alternate condition.

Pages : 424
Book Description
Immediately following the San Fernando, California earthquake (February 9, 1971), a four-man team from the Building Research Division of the National Bureau of Standards' Institute for Applied Technology, surveyed the damage to buildings and other structures. This report is based primarily on the data gathered during the survey but includes some data provided by other agencies and individuals.Based on study of these data and observations made during the survey, recommendations are made pertaining to the improvement of building and other structural design and construction practices.(Author).
