The 17 August 1999 Kocaeli (Mw=7.4) and 12 November 1999 Düzce (Mw=7.2) earthquakes were the largest natural disasters of the twentieth century in Turkey after the 1939 Erzincan earthquake. These earthquakes caused severe damage and collapse especially of building structures. The figure below shows damage observed in the cities of Adapazari and Izmit (Kocaeli earthquake). Comment on the relationship between the observed damage and the earthquake-induced ground effects illustrated earlier.

A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck Quezon province early Tuesday morning, December 22, 2020, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported. Phivolcs says the tectonic earthquake's epicenter was about 20 kilometers northwest of General Nakar town in Quezon, with a depth of 15 kilometers (shallow earthquake), which occurred at 2:14 a.m. If a seismograph station is suitated exaclty 100km from the epicenter (that gives you a 0.9 degrees angular epicentral distance), determine a.) the peak amplitude recorded in the seismogram if Richter magnitude scale was used. b.) the peak surface wave amplitude recorded in the seismogram if surface wave magnitude scale was used
A slope failure was discovered at Perak which occured on Sep 2021. A 3-day Intermittent rainfall and followed by 1-day heavy downpour were observed prior to the slope failure. Due to this failure, the only access road to few aborigin villages and hydropower plant was cut off.Based on site measurement, the slope is about 10m height and itis estimated that the failure plane started at one-third from the crest and along the slope face and ended at the toe the slope angle is about 75o. The properties of soils are as follows; unit weight 22kN/m3, cohesion: c’ 5kN/m2and friction angle: 27o. Based on field test for soil classification, the following characteristics were observed: •The soil feels gritty when rubbed against 2 fingers. •Easily mould and crushed in the fingers. •The soil particles stick together •The soil crack when mould question: Based on the observation, there are no slope stabilization works had been done to all the slope along the road. Discuss its reason?

Alaska earthquake of 1964, earthquake that occurred in south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964, with a moment magnitude of 9.2. It released at least twice as much energy as the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. The death toll was only 131 because of the low density of the state's population, but property damage was high. The earthquake tilted an area of at least 46,442 square miles (120,000 square km). Landmasses were thrust up locally as high as 82 feet (25 metres) to the east of a line extending northeastward from Kodiak Island through the western part of Prince William Sound. To the west, land sank as much as 8 feet (2.5 metres). The seismic moment of this earthquake is x 1029 dyne-cm. Express your answer with 2 decimal places. Blank 1 Blank 1 Add your answer

The beam AC is simply supported with a pin at A and roller at B, and with a distributed load applied across its overhanging length BC. The beam has the same U-shaped cross section along its entire length (see the “end view” below) and is made of steel with modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa. Find expression for the bending moment M(x) and deflection v(x) of the entire beam, and use these to find: a) The maximum normal stress in the beam, either in tension or compression. Explain how you determined the location of the largest amplitude of normal stress. b) The maximum upward and downward deflections of the beam. Hint: just like in calculus, maxima may occur when v'(x) = 0 and/or at the end(s) of the beam End View (zoomed in) 14cm 2m Side View •B 12 kN/m 2m с 2cm 2cm 12cm 10cm

Earthquakes can result in various forms of damage, but many result in fault ruptures, or cracks in the Earth's surface. In a 1958 study† of earthquakes in California and Nevada, D.Tocher found the following relationship between the fault rupture length L, in kilometers, and the magnitude M (on the Richter scale) of an earthquake. L = 0.0000017 × 10.47M What fault rupture length would be expected from an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) kilometers
