    Addressing Earthquake Strong Ground Motion Issues at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

    ADDRESSING EARTHQUAKE STRONG GROUND MOTION ISSUES AT THE IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY Ivan G. Wong Woodward-Clyde Consultants 500 12th Street, Suite 100 Oakland, CA 94607 Walter J. Silva and Cathy L. Stark Pacific Engineering and Analysis 138 Pomona Avenue ElCerrito, CA 94530 Suzette Jackson and Richard P. Smith Idaho National Engineering Laboratory EG&G Idaho, Inc. Idaho Falls, ID 8341S ABSTRACT In die course of reassessing seismic hazards at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), several key issues have been raised concerning the effects of the earthquake source and site geology on potential strong ground motions that might be generated by a large earthquake. The design earthquake for the INEL is an approximate moment magnitude (Mw) 7 event that may occur on the southern portion of the Lemhi fault, a Basin and Range normal fault that is located on the northwestern boundary of the eastern Snake River Plain and the INEL, within 10 to 27 km of several major facilities. Because the locations of these facilities place them at close distances to a large earthquake and generally along strike of the causative fault, the effects of source rupture dynamics (e.g., directivity) could be critical in enhancing potential ground shaking at the INEL. An additional source issue that has been addressed is the value of stress drop to use in ground motion predictions. In terms of site geology, it has been questioned whether the interbedded volcanic stratigraphy beneath the ESRP and the INEL attenuates ground motions to a greater degree than a typical rock site in the western U.S.

  • Backcountry Discovery Trail

    Backcountry Discovery Trail

    Have you ever wanted to get into the backcountry Backcountry of a National Forest? Have you wondered if you have Discovery Trail what it takes? Rest assured: exploring the backcountry doesn’t necessarily require an ATV or a dirt bike. You can do it in a high clearance vehicle or a 4WD sport utility vehicle. This guide gives directions for the route from point to point, gives tips on what to bring and how to prepare, provides background information on history and general topics, and directs travelers to points of interest along the way. This 150-mile-long discovery trail is a perfect place to begin your explorations of the Plumas National Forest! Plumas National Forest Plumas National Forest Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail is published by the USDA Forest Service, in cooperation with the California State Parks OHV Division. Printed in the USA 2013 ISBN: Welcome to the Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail The Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail (BDT) invites exploration of the remote areas of the Plumas National Forest. You can expect rough road conditions on gravel and dirt roads and a slow pace of travel, maybe only 30-50 miles a day. Be prepared for downed trees or rocks on the road, rough and rocky surfaces, and brush encroaching on the road- way. Much of the route is under snow in the winter and early spring. There are no restaurants, grocery stores, or gas stations along the main route and cell phone coverage is intermittent. The non-paved roads are currently maintained for travel by sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and high-clearance vehicles.

  • Climbing America's

    Climbing America's

    batical leave in Scandinavia, I finally reached the 5895m summit of Africa’s high- est mountain. In 1986, the year after I climbed Kilimanjaro, Dick Bass, Frank Wells, and Rick Ridgeway published Seven Summits, an account of Bass and Wells’ attempt to climb the highest peak on each of the world’s seven continents. I bought their book and devoured it. Inspired by it, I devised my own climbing goal—to climb at least ‘Three-and-a-Half Summits’: namely, at least three of the six highest of the Seven Summits plus Australia’s Mt Kosciuszko, which is a mere 2228m above sea level (i.e., less than half the height of Antarctica’s Vinson Massif, the sixth-lowest of the Seven Summits), and Kosciuszko can therefore, as a Kiwi I quipped, really only be regarded as a half-summit. I made reasonably quick progress towards achieving my goal. In August 1994, I climbed Russia’s Mt Elbrus, 5642m, the highest mountain in Europe. In December the same year, I summited 6962m-high Cerro Aconcagua in Argentina, the highest mountain in South America (which I like to tell people is ‘the highest mountain in the world outside Asia,’ and then hope their geography is so weak that they don’t realise how huge an exclusion clause those two words, ‘outside Asia’, are). I then decided to have a crack at climbing Denali, and on 6 July 1997 stood proudly on the 6194m-high summit of North America’s high- est peak and held up a t-shirt from Victoria University (which is where I taught political science for many years).
