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.

Question

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
The deep submersible vehicle ALVIN weighs approximately36,000 lbf in air. It carries 800 lbm of steel weightson the sides. After a deep mission and return, two 400-lbmpiles of steel are left on the ocean fl oor. Can you explain,in terms relevant to this chapter, how these steel weightsare used?
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
