Use of Seismic Intensity Data to Predict the Effects of Earthquakes and Underground Nuclear Explosions in Various Geologic Settings (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Use of Seismic Intensity Data to Predict the Effects of Earthquakes and Underground Nuclear Explosions in Various Geologic Settings shows how to forecast shaking and damage across different ground types.
This nontechnical guide explains how seismic intensity data can be used to build curves and maps that predict how an earthquake or underground nuclear explosion will feel at a given location. It emphasizes the role of the geologic environment in shaping intensity at fixed epicentral distances and discusses the development of intensity-epicentral-distance curves, microregionalization maps, and related equations. The aim is to provide a framework for estimating effects on structures and areas when only limited ground-motion data are available.
The material covers how ground type, focal depth, and explosion energy influence observed shaking, and it links intensity to magnitude and distance through early, practical relationships. It also notes the similarities and differences between earthquake and underground explosion signals, and it shows how existing data can be extrapolated to shallow sources typical of explosions.
- How different geologic settings alter reported intensity at the same distance.
- How intensity relates to magnitude, epicentral distance, and focal depth.
- The use of microregionalization maps to estimate effects for specific ground conditions.
- How preliminary equations connect earthquake data to underground nuclear explosions for risk assessment.
Ideal for readers involved in seismic risk assessment, engineering planning, and policy considerations related to ground shaking and explosive effects.
