  1. 1. Defining an Earthquake Intensity Based Method for a Rapid Earthquake Classification System

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Erik Bäckman; [2017]
    Nyckelord :Ground motions; earthquake intensity; earthquake warning systems; damage prediction; classification; Markrörelser; jordbävnings-intensitet; jordbävnings-varningssystem; skadeförutsägelse; klassificering;

    Sammanfattning : Ground motions caused by earthquakes may be strong enough to cause destruction of infrastructure and possibly casualties. If such past destructive earthquakes are analysed, the gained information could be used to develop earthquake warning systems that predicts and possibly reduce the damage potential of further earthquakes.

  3. 2. Dynamic analysis of the Baozhusi dam using FEM.

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Författare :Zaid Alsuleimanagha; Jing Liang; [2012]
    Nyckelord :Baozhusi dam; Wenchuan earthquake; Finite element method; ABAQUS; Time history method;

    Sammanfattning : High magnitude earthquakes have devastating effects that leads to severe human and material losses; when affecting concrete gravity dams, seisms devastate the surrounding habitat through sudden release of reservoir. Dam safety is therefore a significant issue to be accounted in order to prevent the failure of dams located in seismic regions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The New Madrid Seismic Zone.

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Teknisk geologi och geofysik

    Författare :Tracy Nilsson; [2011]
    Nyckelord :Earthquake; Liquefaction; Disaster Prevention; New Madrid Seismic Zone; Risk Analysis; Arkansas; Memphis; Mercalli Intensity Scale; Seismic Building Codes;

    Sammanfattning : The Mississippi River Valley, is hardly known as an earthquake zone, but may in fact be a natural disaster just waiting to happen. Historical records and paleoseismic investigations have shown that large magnitude earthquakes have occurred in the area and there are constantly microquakes all along the New Madrid Fault System.
