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
2. Seismic Velocity Given the geophone data below, calculate the seismic wave velocity in each layer. Then find the bottom depth of each layer that the data enables you to determine. Refer to the seismic wave velocity chart for the D8R provided to you in your class lecture. If the top layer is limestone and the layers beneath that are shale, which of the layers for which you have data do you expect you can successfully rip with the D8R?

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.)
5. During the Mexico City earthquake of 1985 certain buildings collapsed, while others remained standing. What was the issue with the buildings that collapsed? How could these collapses have been avoided? 6. What are some other examples of resonance? How does resonance affect these different systems? 7. Structural engineers consult with geologists to help predict the expected frequency of earthquake motions at a given site. They use this information to then make sure that buildings on that site do not have the same natural frequency as the expected earthquake input motions to avoid setting up resonance, in which the displacements of the building are amplified. What are some different strategies you might use to change the frequency of a building? Is it better to design buildings that are stiffer or more flexible?
A structure weights 154 kips and has a period of 1.0 sec. The displacement in a particular earthquake is 0.6 in. What is the corresponding base shear? (There are two ways of doing this. The best is to convert D to A and multiply by the mass of the structure (W/g).
