Streamflow and Water Well Responses to Earthquakes
Science, 2003Earthquake-induced crustal deformation and ground shaking can alter stream flow and water levels in wells through consolidation of surficial deposits, fracturing of solid rocks, aquifer deformation, and the clearing of fracture-filling material. Although local conditions affect the type and amplitude of response, a compilation of reported observations ...

Responsibilities in earthquake prediction
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1976As recently as only a year or two ago, seismologists were still debating among themselves the question of how we should interact with the public when the day finally arrived that scientific predictions of damaging earthquakes would be forthcoming. Whether we're ready or not, that day has suddenly arrived, and some of us are already a bit bloodied ...

The UK medical response to the Sichuan earthquake
Emergency Medicine Journal, 2010At 14:48 on 12 May 2008 an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 struck the Wenchuan area of Sichuan province, China. A decision to offer/receive UK medical assistance was agreed at a Sino/British political level and a medical team was despatched to the earthquake area.This study describes the team's experience during the immediate aftermath of the earthquake ...

Environment and Behavior, 1981
Based on the findings and hypotheses of natural hazard research, a survey of earthquake hazard perception and the adoption of adjustments was carried out among 302 residents of 3 seismic risk zones of the west coast of North America. The study provided 3 lines of evidence for the concept of bounded rationality, namely, a preference for crisis response,

OMG Earthquake! Can Twitter Improve Earthquake Response?
Seismological Research Letters, 2010Following the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan, China, earthquake, discussion circulated on the Internet describing how the U.S. Geological Survey's earthquake notification lagged behind firsthand accounts sent through Twitter, a popular Internet-based service for sending and receiving short text messages, referred to as “tweets.” A prominent technology blogger ...

Probabilistic Response Analyses to Earthquakes
Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1970A single degree-of-freedom system is analyzed probabilistically for earthquake-like excitations. A Gaussian nonstationary random process model developed previously has been used for the ground acceleration. After finding the variance of the response, the distribution of the highest peak is determined approximately.

Distribution of Structural Response to Earthquakes
Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1962Using diffusion analogies, approximation to probability distributions of responses of linearly elastic structures having one degree of freedom is derived; results are compared with frequency distributions of undamped spectra of fictitious and actual earthquakes; theory is extended to linearly damped systems; effect of damping on expected responses is ...

Earthquake response of inelastic structures
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2004The most commonly used method in the seismic analysis of structures is the response spectrum method. For seismic re-evaluation of existing facilities elastic response spectrum method cannot be used directly as large deformation above yield may be observed under Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE). The plastic deformation, i.e.

Streamflow response to the Nisqually earthquake
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003An extensive network of stream gages documents regional streamflow response to the M6.8 Nisqually earthquake wherein almost half of the gages analyzed within 115 km of the epicenter exhibited changes in baseflow within 13 h after the earthquake. Rapid streamflow response indicates that the impetus for the increased discharge originated within 100 m of ...

Earthquake Response of Structures
1985The design of structures in earthquake regions has been based upon the assumption of a lateral load proportional to the mass of the building. For example in many areas the structure is designed to carry a “horizontal gravity” force of 0.2 g. Such designs are based upon the assumption that the period of natural vibration of the structure is large ...
