Engineering geological zoning and seismic microzoning
Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology, 1992Seismic microzoning can be accomplished by various methods. One of these methods is based on geological data and the relations between the lithological rock types, rock properties, and groundwater table, the topography and slope stability. A very helpful medium in the preparation process are engineering geological zoning maps which comprise all the ...

Trans-Alaska Pipeline Seismic Engineering Legacy
2014The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) transports crude oil from the Prudhoe Bay on Alaska’s North Slope to a marine tanker terminal in Valdez. The TAPS project was conceived almost concurrently with the 1971 San Fernando earthquake, a magnitude 7.1 event that called attention to the vulnerability of the nation’s infrastructure to earthquakes and the ...

Future Civil Engineering in Seismic Zones
Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering, 1988This paper discusses the problem of cities organizing to prepare for earthquakes. Design methods to provide buildings with greater resistance are described. Civil engineering recommendations included in the Mexico City Construction Code for seismic zones are listed. Effective methods of using the “traction test” are outlined.

Engineering seismic refraction surveys over Elura
Exploration Geophysics, 1980In the early days, the Elura orebody was considered as a potential open pit mine. In order to evaluate the cost of overburden stripping, it was necessary to estimate the depth to which excavation could be carried out by ripping and scraping instead of the more expensive drill-blast-shovel and truck procedure that is used in a rock mass that is too ...

Earthquake Engineering, Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Seismic Rehabilitation in Colombia
2003The tectonics and seismicity of northwestern South America are presented. The construction types prevalent in Colombia are discussed. A brief description of the Colombian earthquake resistant regulations is given. The behavior of buildings during earthquakes previous to the Code enactment is presented.
