Engineering seismic risk analysis

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1968
Abstract This paper introduces a method for the evaluation of the seismic risk at the site of an engineering project. The results are in terms of a ground motion parameter (such as peak acceleration) versus average return period. The method incorporates the influence of all potential sources of earthquakes and the average activity rates ...

Seismic Shear Waves in Engineering

Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1974
Measurements of seismic shear wave velocity and absorption coefficient can find use in soil and rock mechanics, foundation studies, structures, slope stability analysis, and the determination of dynamic elastic moduli. Shear waves in engineering studies must be separated from compressional, Rayleigh, and Love wave arrivals.

Performance Based Seismic Engineering

2001
Performance based seismic engineering is the modern approach to earthquake resistant design. Rather than being based on prescriptive mostly empirical code formulations, performance based design is an attempt to predict buildings with predictable seismic performance.

Induced seismicity in engineering

Geological Society, London, Engineering Geology Special Publications, 1988
Abstract A review is made of the main areas of engineering and mining activities, which give rise to induced seismicity in the rock mass. These include the occurrences of rock bursts following the failure of the rock mass in highly stressed areas during mining operations, seismic activity due to pumping operations in geothermal, waste ...

Seismic, geotechnical, and earthquake engineering site characterization

SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2006, 2006
Summary We determined the seismic model of the soil column within a residential project site in Istanbul, Turkey. Specifically, we conducted refraction seismic survey at 20 locations and estimated the P- and S-wave velocity-depth profiles down to a depth of 30 m.

Seismic Forces on Engineering Structures

Journal of the Structural Division, 1962
Formula for determining seismic lateral-force factors similar to those used in building codes is developed from seismological data; it is based on theoretical reactions of simple, low-damped oscillators to recorded earthquake motions, assuming that each oscillator simulates motion of particular type of engineering structure; 4 relationships and ...
