Earthquake Microzoning

Pages : 351
Book Description
In many past and recent earthquakes it has been shown that the local conditions and, in particular, the local geology have a great influence on the observed seismic ground motion and, consequently, on the damage distribution in housing, industrial stock, and life-lines. Seismic microzoning is the usual procedure to have these local effects taken into account for engineering design and land-use planning, being a useful tool for earthquake risk mitigation. This volume presents a collection of papers mainly originated from a workshop on Seismic Microzoning, organized during the 23rd General Assembly of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) in Nice, France in April 1998. The workshop dealt with various geophysical tools for analysing the effects of the local soils of subsurface geology on seismic ground motion, namely the methods using experimental data such as microtremors, and the theoretical/numerical 1-D and 2-D modelling methods. Additional contributions discussing techniques for characterising soil properties, microzoning applications to several urban areas, and others were added to the volume to broaden this important topic.

Geotechnical Reconnaissance of the Effects of the January 17, 1995, Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake, Japan

Book Description
The Jan. 17, 1995, Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake was one of the worst disasters to hit Japan in almost half a century. It has been compared in its impact to the great Kanto (Tokyo) Earthquake of 1923. The Kobe-Osaka region held many similarities in its geologic and tectonic setting to many areas along the West Coast, and possibly, other areas of the U.S. A geotechnical reconnaissance to identify the relevant problems and issues was organized. This report provides a timely, first-hand overview of the type and extent of the geotechnical aspects of the damage.

Book Description
Pt. 1: The opportunity for the field testing of an isolated viaduct arose out of the demolition and reconstruction of the I-680/R-24 interchange in Walnut Creek, California. The southern section of the temporary separator bridge is seismically isolated, and this portion was the subject of a three-phase field study. This viaduct is the first new bridge in California to be seismically isolated. The primary objective of this investigation was to collect field data for the determination of the dynamic properties (mode shapes, modal frequencies, and damping ratios) of the viaduct, to assess the contribution of different structural components to the overall flexibility and damping characteristics of the structure, and to conduct analytical studies to verify the experimentally computed dynamic properties.
