Just Question 5 please
DREXEL UNIVERSITY Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering CAEE 212 Assignment 7 Due Date: 16 August 2017 BEFORE 8:00 a.m. via Blackboard Learn 3. Two students are debating earthquake intensity and magnitude Student 1: An example of a large-magnitude earthquake that has a low intensity is if it hit an area with a low population Student 2: So, if a really, really large-magnitude earthquake hit the desert in California where nobody lives, you're saying it would not have a high intensity? I don't agree. If the earthquake is that big, I think it would need to have a high intensity as well With which student do you agree? Why? Part 2. Earthquake Intensities The 7.1 magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake (1989) caused 63 fatalities and $10 billion in damage. There was heavy damage near the fault, but there was more damage approximately 50 miles away at the edges of the heavily populated San Francisco Bay. Many buildings and bridges built on soft sediments near the bay were destroyed 4. The Loma Prieta earthquake was an earthquake with a high intensity. Explain why the earthquake had such a high intensity. There will be more than one reason Nimitz Freeway, Oakland CA (https://upload wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Cypress_collapsed.jpg) Part 3. Using Seismic Design Tools from USGS From USGS: The USGS collaborates with organizations that develop model building and bridge design codes to make seismic design parameter values available to engineers. The design code developers first decide how USGS earthquake hazard information should be applied in design practice. Then the USGS calculates gridded values of seismic design parameters based on USGS hazard values in accordance with design code parameter values from the following design code editions procedures. The U.S. Seismic Design Maps application provides seismic design 2013 ASCE/SEI 41 2012/15 International Building Code 2010/05 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard 2009/03 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions 2009 AASHTO Guide Specifications for LRFD Seismic Bridge Design . Obtain seismic design information for Oakland, CA by following the steps below Go to Choose "Use the Application" near the top of the page Enter the following information in the "Application" Tab learthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/designmaps/usdesign.ph This document was developed by the instructors, who retain all intellectual property rights to the material.

4) A segment of the infamous San Andreas Fault had ruptured under the Loma Prieta peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The explosive release of energy lifted the mountains themselves and sent shock waves shooting through the Earth.The city of Santa Cruz, 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the epicenter, was ripped apart first. The town of Watsonville, a center for frozen-vegetable processing, was devastated. Then the shock waves flew up the peninsula toward heavily populated San Francisco.There the quake peeled a section of the San Francisco Bay Bridge
1) if a earthquake which has high magnitude produces high intensity but for the fact earthquake never kills or harms living being its the man made structures that creates the diasater so if earthquake . STudent 2 is correct
