Presentation Transcript

  1. How hard does an Earthquake shake?

  2. How could we determine how accurate the student demos of shaking were?

  3. UC San Diego engineering test w/ ~1g accelerations

  4. 1995 Kobe, Japan (M 6.9) Peak ground accelerations 0.8g

  5. What other factor(s) might affect the amount of damage to a house besides the ground acceleration? • Duration of shaking • Frequency of shaking • Physical construction of buildings (shape, natural frequency, mass, quality)

  6. How would you expect shaking to vary in the region around the earthquake? The damage?
