11.4 The following shows ground motion recordings from two adjoining islands in the San Francisco Bay during the 1979 Loma Prieta earthquake. Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island are both located at a distance of about 50 miles from the epicenter. Treasure Island was created in the 1930s by filling sand over underwater bay mud deposits, while Yerba Buena Island is a natural rock outcrop. The recordings showed a significant difference in amplification between the two adjacent sites. a Acceleration- 0.1 0.0 -0.1 0.1 0.0 -0.1 0 0 5 a) Which island has a soft soil condition? 10 10 15 15 Time-seconds 20 20 25 25 30 c) What was the approximate ratio of the peak ground acceleration at these sites? 30 b) Which recording was from Treasure Island and which one was from Yerba Buena Island?

9.18. The 10-yr IDF function, i(t), for Boston, Mass- achusetts, can be estimated by the relation i = 1003 (t + 7.0) 0.73 mm/h where i is the intensity in mm/h, and t is the duration in minutes. Use the alternating- block method to determine the hyetograph for a storm with a return period of 10 yr and a duration of 40 min. Use nine time intervals to construct the hyetograph.

Quick solution ???
Hydaway Lake needs to monitor the lake bottom conditions. A contract withEagle Underwater Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) was established to create a remotelyoperated vehicle. The ROV must be able to determine where it is relative to the sides of thelake. Eagle ROV is using a standard periscope through which a laser measuring system willoperate. The 2.5-m long periscope is attached to the ROV and has an outside diameter of 50mm. The ROV travels at 1 m/sec in water that is 15°C. Based on the assumption that theperiscope is a smooth cylinder determine the moment at the periscope-ROV interface. Thewater is at 15°C.
