These data will help in formulating, calibrating and verifying existing and future analytical procedures. Over the past 60 years, and particularly in the last two decades, an unheralded group persisted in installing and maintaining strong motion instruments, just waiting for the moment when useful data would be recorded. For instruments in the San Francisco Bay area, that moment came in 1989 with the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17. Now we have a wealth of strong motion recordings, but we do not know much about the sites where the instruments were installed and how these site conditions may have effected the recordings. In the desire for data, instruments were installed without determining the details of their supporting foundation materials. This was prudent: the number of instruments installed could thereby be substantially increased whereas site information could be collected after the earthquake. Collection of such subsurface site information was the goal of this project. The U.S. Geological Survey embarked on a program of site investigations, but was limited by budget and by the enormity of the task. The Building Contractors Society of Japan (BCS) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) recognized both the value of the strong motion data and the importance of accelerating the determination of site properties. BCS, whose members are Japanese construction firms, and EPRI, whose members are US electric power utilities, undertook at considerable expense to add important sites, a total of 33 reported here, to the catalog of those whose site characteristics have been investigated. USGS contributed expertise to these efforts. Many others also participated in this effort, including: the University of California at Davis, California Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering (CUREe), San Francisco International Airport Authority, and Purdue University. Just as important as the commitment to the investigation work of the sponsors was their decision that the information obtained be made public for all to use. This report is the product of many individuals' and institutions' efforts. CUREe and EPRI are pleased to acknowledge the contributions of those named in the text as well as many unnamed others who recognized the value of the data and contributed unselfishly. Of the latter, those whose perseverance lead to the network of installed instruments are of particular note. The BCS/CUREe Joint Oversight Committee and the Japanese sponsors made many useful suggestions and recommendations—Drs. Endo, Goto, Hagio, Idriss, Shah and Shepherd each brought an important understanding and insight to the program that shaped its outcome. The efforts of Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Agbabian Associates and Redpath Geophysics all worked beyond their contract terms for the benefit of obtaining the information reported in this report. UJLPE Page iv CUREe gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Building Contractors Society of Japan. On behalf of current and future research and earthquake engineering users, CUREe thanks the Building Contractors Society of Japan and the Electric Power Research Institute for having the foresight to provide the means to obtain this much needed data.

  • ENGINEERING EXHIBIT Application for Digital Television Station
    ENGINEERING EXHIBIT Application for Digital Television Station Construction Permit prepared for Sacramento Television Stations, Inc. KMAX-TV Sacramento, CA Facility ID 51499 Ch. 21 545 kW 606 m Sacramento Television Stations, Inc. (“STSI”) is the licensee of television station KMAX-TV, Channel 21, Sacramento CA, Facility ID 51499 (BLCDT-20041018ABT). KMAX-TV is licensed to operate with 850 kW effective radiated power (“ERP”) at an antenna height above average terrain (“HAAT”) of 581 meters with a nondirectional antenna. STSI proposes herein to relocate the KMAX-TV facility to another site. The proposal complies with the FCC’s April 5, 2013 freeze on contour extensions. The proposed KMAX-TV facility will employ an existing shared tower structure located 2.9 km from the licensed site. The proposed tower is associated with FCC Antenna Structure Registration number 1011404 and is currently utilized by other full-power television stations (including KOVR(DT) Channel 25, Stockton CA, Facility ID 56550, also licensed to STSI ). No change to the overall structure height will result from this proposal. As proposed herein, KMAX-TV will operate at 545 kW ERP and 606 meters HAAT with a nondirectional antenna. The proposed antenna is an elliptically polarized Dieletric model TFU-31JTH/VP-R O4 (25 percent vertical polarization). The maximum horizontally polarized ERP is 545 kW and the maximum vertically polarized ERP is 136.25 kW. A map is supplied as Figure 1 which depicts the standard predicted coverage contours. This map includes the location of Sacramento, KMAX-TV’s principal community. As demonstrated thereon, the proposed facility complies with §73.625(a)(1) as the entire principal community will be encompassed by the 48 dBµ contour.

  • Earthquakes, Faults, and Tectonics Holly F
    Earthquakes, Faults, and Tectonics Holly F. Ryan, Stephanie L. Ross, and Russell W. Graymer Summary and Introduction On April 18, 1906, the San Francisco Bay region was rocked by one of the most significant earthquakes in history. This magnitude 7.8 earthquake began on a segment of the San Andreas Fault that lies underwater in the Gulf of the Farallones, just a few miles offshore of San Fran- cisco. The quake ruptured nearly 430 km (270 mi) of the fault from San Juan Bautista to Cape Mendocino. Damage from the intense shaking during the earthquake, along with the devastation from the ensuing fire, wreaked havoc in San Francisco, a city of 400,000 inhabitants at the time (fig.1). Although the official death toll from the earthquake was reported to be about 700, it is now widely believed that the actual loss of life was three to four times greater. In addition, more than 50 percent of the population of the city was homeless following the earthquake. Today, a large metropolitan area of more than 6 million people covers more than 18,000 km2 (7,000 mi2) around San Francisco Bay. Many small earthquakes occur in the bay region every year, although only those greater than about magnitude 3 are usually felt. The 1989 magni- tude 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake was a strong reminder of the potential for large, destructive earthquakes in the region. The Loma Prieta earthquake killed 63 people, injured more than 3,700 others, and caused property damage in excess of $6 billion. It should be kept in mind, however, that devastation occurred only in limited areas because the epicenter of this earthquake was on a somewhat remote segment of the San Andreas Fault, 115 km (70 mi) south of San Francisco in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

    EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. • Englewood, Colorado Further Statement of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers The firm of Hammett & Edison, Inc., Consulting Engineers, has been retained by EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. to prepare a further engineering statement in support of its ex parte filing to the FCC’s Notice of Inquiry in ET Docket No. 05-182, “Technical Standards for Satellite-Delivered Network Signals.”1 Background In its Notice of Inquiry in ET Docket No. 05-182 (“NOI”), the Commission seeks, among other things, information and comment on current regulations that identify households that are unserved by local analog broadcast television stations in order to determine if the regulations may be accurately applied to local digital broadcast stations for the same purpose. Hammett & Edison, Inc. prepared engineering statements and associated figures, dated June 17 and July 5, 2005, in support of the initial and reply comments of EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. to that NOI. Partly in response to requests by some of the other commenting parties, this statement provides additional data. Description of Measurement Equipment and Collection Method The data documenting temporal variations of signal level reported in our June 17 statement2 were collected using a spectrum analyzer-based system, which was originally developed by Hammett & Edison, Inc. about 10 years ago.3 For this collection effort, a consumer television receiving antenna was used.4 The antenna gain at the channels of interest was determined using the substitution (transfer) method,5 6 although gain information is unnecessary for purposes of showing temporal variation. This antenna was installed at approximately 30 feet AGL at the Hammett & Edison, Inc.
