Earthquakes are inevitable:How do we deal with their effects?
Design buildings to an appropriate level of safety
Prepare emergency services to respond
Inform citizens how to prepare and respond

Need to know:
How often are different types of earthquakes likely to occur?
How strong will the shaking be?
How will the shaking vary across the region?
At what frequencies will the ground shake?

Estimating the ground shaking from earthquakes
Probabilistic Hazard MapsPeak Ground Acceleration likely in a given time interval
Example:• 2% chance of 0.25g acceleration being exceeded in
a 50-year time span

Buildings and Resonant Frequency
35-story building ~ 3.5 sec = 0.3 Hz [e.g., Smith Tower]
1-story building (house) ~ 0.1 sec period = 10 Hz
10-story building ~1 sec period = 1 Hz [e.g., library]
75-story building ~ 5 sec = 0.13 Hz [e.g., Columbia Tower]

Effects of surface waves
Relatively modest ground motionsMaximum PGA of 0.27g
Non-linear soil responseAmplifications much smaller for strong ground motions (mainshock versus aftershock)

Results from SHIPS/NisquallySeattle Basin characterized by amplifications of 8 to 12 at low frequencies(0.3 to 0.8 Hz (3.33 sec to 1.25 sec periods)At higher frequencies (5 to 10 Hz) the basin causes decreased shakingAmplification is time variant
(direct arrivals versus surface waves?)
Amplifications of 5 could come from resonance in the shallow deposits (<500 m)Amplifications from focusing likely <2Surface waves within the basin cause amplifications of as much as 16Non-linear effects come into play at moderate ground accelerations
