Fire

– Broken gas mains – Broken lines to water heaters – Overturned stoves – Lack of water – Big cause of damage (SF, Kobe)

Liquefaction

Liquefaction occurs when saturated loose sands and hydraulic fills experience strong shaking. The soil degenerates into a thick soupy material.

Liquefaction

  • Foundation

failures

  • Breakage of

pipes

  • Floating of

underground tanks

  • Sand boils

How do we know how hard the rock shakes?

  • Deterministic seismic hazard

assessments (DSHA)

  • Probabilistic seismic hazard

assessments (PSHA)

slide-27
SLIDE 27

27

Deterministic assessments

  • Worst case based on known faults
  • Need fault information and ground motion

prediction equations (attenuation relationships)

  • Problems determining what the worst case is
  • Different risk levels for different sites

Probabilistic assessments (PSHA)

  • The way the NRC does it (RG 1.208)
  • Considers the probability of different

events over time

  • 10,000 year earthquake (sort of like the

100 year flood)

  • More complex analysis

PSHA

Find effects of all possible earthquakes, multiply each by the likelihood it will actually happen, combine the events

For each spectral frequency
