Figure shows the geological cross section of a region comprising of three sites.A raised ground.B sediment fills and C flat surface located at equal source to the distance. With the reference to figure explain the following 1) relative duration of ground shaking observed at 3 sites.2) Relative frequency content of the ground motion at 3 sites.3)As part of land use planning to minimize earthquake damage , at which site you will prefer to constructe short period structure and long period structure.

11.6 The following is a partial map of East Bay, showing soil types in parts of Oakland, Emeryville and Alameda, including the approximate extent of bedrock, sandy soil and soft mud in this area. During 1989 earthquake, ground acceleration was recorded at various sites, such as the three seismographs shown below. These records demonstrated that shaking intensity of one earthquake varied depending on the site soil conditions. Identify which one of the following seismographs corresponds to bedrock, sandy soil and soft mud. 80 0 0 To San Francisco 1 mi 1.6 km 80 Cypress 580 Structure (880) 0 Oakland In als hummmm мини 10 Seconds Bedrock -Soft mud - Sand and gravel

Ta Hypothetical Case: Slope Soils Natural or man-made slope Potential failure plane 01 35° |0₁-652 0₁ = 52 kPa a = 35° 03= 12 kPa Horizontal Slope failure (landslide) will be triggered at any point along the potential failure plane when the shear stress exceeds the shear strength of the soil mobilized in the opposite direction.
Question:- A new building is proposed with a deep basement (10 meters below ground level) to be placed on rock. Borings indicated glacial till (4 meters deep on average) over shale. The shale is of varying hardness, so a seismic refraction survey was done. The results showed the shale has a seismic velocity of less than 1 km/sec except for a 30 cm thick layer at 8 meters below the surface. The seismic velocity of that layers is 3.5 km/sec. Provide a couple of recommendations for dealing with this layer. (Note that the shale can support the building without any structural issues.)

Potential Water Table Slide Plane Stationary Material Two prominent geologic units in the study area that tend to be associated with landslides are the Lawton Clay and the Esperance Sand. For "worst-case", calculate the factor of safety for a 19° slope on the Lawton clay, given that yw =62.4 lbs/ft, and assuming that the weakest plane lies 6 ft below the surface. For the weathered Lawton, typical for the upper part of this unit, C = 0, = 33, and y, = 120 lbs/ft. Answer:
Research about the background study of DIRECT SHEAR TEST FOR SOIL and discuss.
