Excerpt from Earthquake Engineering Programs: Progress Report
The earthquake engineering programs of the Department of Water Resources are described in this bulletin. These programs are defined as those developed to provide information on earthquake and ground movements near the State Water Project, the hazards which these may pose to Project structures, and criteria for use in design and operation of Project facilities which will minimize or eliminate the effects of such hazards. The present earthquake engineering programs encompass the earlier Crustal Strain and Fault Movement Investigation and other design-oriented programs.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores earthquake engineering within the context of the California State Water Project, examining the state-of-the-art data collection and analysis techniques to ensure the safety and reliability of the project in the face of seismic activity. The author details these methods, highlighting the role of sensitive seismographs, mobile seismic laboratories, strong-motion seismographs, and seiche recorders in monitoring seismic data. The book also delves into innovative techniques for measuring gradual tectonic movement, such as Geodimeter measurements, fault quadrilaterals, and tiltmeters. Furthermore, it discusses the development of engineering criteria and design procedures for earthquake-resistant structures, drawing from the author's research and the expertise of a Consulting Board for Earthquake Analysis. By providing a comprehensive overview of the California State Water Project's earthquake engineering program, this book offers valuable insights into managing earthquake hazards in water resource management and infrastructure development.
