Synopsis
Explore how science meets safety in California’s quake program.
This progress report details the state’s integrated approach to earthquake engineering for the State Water Project. It combines data from sensitive seismographs, strong‑motion instruments, tiltmeters, seiche recorders, and precise geodetic surveys to inform design and operation decisions.
Written for engineers, policymakers, and researchers, the book outlines how field measurements, data analysis, and engineering criteria come together to assess hazards and improve resilience in high‑risk regions.
- How seismic data are collected, analyzed, and used to set design criteria for hydraulic structures.
- Different instruments and field methods that monitor crustal movement, ground shaking, and subsidence.
- How measurements influence engineering decisions, risk assessments, and emergency planning.
- Collaboration between state agencies, universities, and federal partners in advancing earthquake engineering.
Ideal for readers who want a clear view of the practical efforts behind earthquake preparedness and structure design.
