Thorsen INTRODUCTION Since the Puget Sound region's most damaging recorded earthquake in 1949, the population of the Puget Lowland has more than d>ubled. Thus, the potential for damage and loss of life in future earthquakes has increased dramatically. Many of the reports of damage caused by that earthquake and more recent quakes were in publications of limited circulation, and many are out of print. Relatively few per­ sons living in the area today were here during the 1949 event. This selection of reproduced information about the 1949 and 1965 earthquakes is intended to alert newcomers, as well as to remind the older residents, that the Puget Lowland is •earthquake oount ry • • To help bring these earthquakes into current perspective, both monetary and population inflation should be considered. Using current U.S ." Department of Commerce 'price inflators", damage from the 1949 and 1965 earthquakes 'M>uld approach $140 million and $40 million (in 1985 dollars), respectively, Human losses are more difficult to project because of the importance of the time at which a quake occurs. For example, Hopper and others (1975), assuming a 7 .5- magnitude event in the southern Puget Lowland during business and school hours, estimate as many as 2,200 deat hs, 8,700 serious injuries, and 23,500 temporarily homeless. While examining the photographs of damage herein, one should keep in mind a fundamental shortcoming of our knowledge of seismic history: It is too short. The relative recency of settlement of the Pacific Northwest makes it difficult to project what is "normal' . Major earthquakes, like \Olcanic eruptions, may not occur twice in an individual's lifetime. The 1949 quake may not have been repre­ sentative of maximum shaking, duration of shaking, or depth of focus. Indeed, evidence is building that the Pacific Northwest could be subjected to an event of 8+ magnitude similar to the 1964 Alaska earthquake. Nevertheless, these accounts should remind us of some of the kinds of effects we can expect from the next damaging earthquake. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank James E.

  • Parametric Terracing As Optimization of Controlled Slope Intervention
    water Article Parametric Terracing as Optimization of Controlled Slope Intervention Tomaž Berˇciˇc and Lucija Ažman-Momirski * Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana, Zoisova 12, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 December 2019; Accepted: 21 February 2020; Published: 26 February 2020 Abstract: With the introduction of mechanization in agriculture, the area of terraced slopes has increased. However, in most cases, the planning of terracing in practice remains experience-based, which is no longer effective from an agricultural, geological, and hydrological point of view. The usual method of building terraces, especially terraces with earth risers, is therefore outdated, and a new method must be found for planning and building terraced areas. In addition to geographical information system (GIS) tools, parametric design tools for planning terraced landscapes are now available. Based on the design approaches for a selected plot in the Gorizia Hills in Slovenia, where we used a trial-and-error method, we improved previous results by defining a model using a computer algorithm that generates a terraced landscape on a selected slope depending on various input parameters such as the height of the terrace slope, the inclination of the terrace slope, the width of the terrace platform, and the number of terraces. For the definition of the algorithm we used the visual program tool Grasshopper. By changing the values of the input data parameters, the algorithm was able to present combinatorial simulations through a variety of different solutions with all the corresponding statistics. With such results it is much easier to make a conscious decision on which combination of parameters is optimal to prevent landslides, plan adequate drainage, and control soil movements when building terraces.

  • Report to Our Community • 2014 - 2015 South Seattle College and the South Seattle College Foundation Message from the President and Foundation Chair
    Report to Our Community • 2014 - 2015 South Seattle College and the South Seattle College Foundation Message from the President and Foundation Chair Dear Friends, During the past year we’ve seen students in our college transfer programs receive accolades on the national stage and earn significant awards closer to home, demonstrating that South Seattle College is a great choice for students who want to earn a transfer degree. For years, community college has been known as a great option for students seeking professional technical certificates, developmental classes, or continuing education. While that’s still true, it’s also the case that more and more students are realizing what community colleges have been saying for years: you can get an education that prepares you in every way to transfer to a four-year university and position yourself for future academic and career success. Emblematic of the type of academic achievement that is possible at a college like South is graduate David Yama. David is the top scholar in the nation, as recognized by the community college honor society, Phi Theta Kappa, and he is a recipient of the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship. You will learn more about David inside this edition of the Report to Our Community. Many students say that their success started when they received their first scholarships from the South Seattle College Foundation. For many of the 319 students who received scholarships this past year, a scholarship represents more than just freedom from financial worry; it also signifies that someone believes that they can succeed. Sometimes that is all a student needs to inspire them to do more, try harder, and dare to reach for their dreams.

  • Tennessee Erosion & Sediment Control Handbook
    TENNESSEE EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROL HANDBOOK A Stormwater Planning and Design Manual for Construction Activities Fourth Edition AUGUST 2012 Acknowledgements This handbook has been prepared by the Division of Water Resources, (formerly the Division of Water Pollution Control), of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Many resources were consulted during the development of this handbook, and when possible, permission has been granted to reproduce the information. Any omission is unintentional, and should be brought to the attention of the Division. We are very grateful to the following agencies and organizations for their direct and indirect contributions to the development of this handbook: TDEC Environmental Field Office staff Tennessee Division of Natural Heritage University of Tennessee, Tennessee Water Resources Research Center University of Tennessee, Department of Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Georgia Department of Natural Resources California Stormwater Quality Association ~ ii ~ Preface Disturbed soil, if not managed properly, can be washed off-site during storms. Unless proper erosion prevention and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMP’s) are used for construction activities, silt transport to a local waterbody is likely. Excessive silt causes adverse impacts due to biological alterations, reduced passage in rivers and streams, higher drinking water treatment costs for removing the sediment, and the alteration of water’s physical/chemical properties, resulting in degradation of its quality. This degradation process is known as “siltation”. Silt is one of the most frequently cited pollutants in Tennessee waterways. The division has experimented with multiple ways to determine if a stream, river, or reservoir is impaired due to silt.

  • Definitions of "Soil" and "Mineral"
    OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING RECLAMATION AND ENFORCEMENT U.S. Department of the Interior COALEX STATE COMPARISON REPORT - 113 June 12, 1989 William O. Roller Division of Mineral Mining P.O. Box 4499 Lynchburg, Virginia 24502 TOPIC: DEFINITIONS OF SOIL AND MINERAL INQUIRY: A permit is required for an operator to extract minerals from the earth. Is clay which is excavated from a borrow pit and used for fill dirt in construction considered a "mineral", requiring a permit, or "dirt" which would not require a permit, for removal? Locate state laws which define "minerals", "soil", or "dirt". SEARCH RESULTS: Research was conducted using the state code files on LEXIS. At the time the research was performed, codes for 32 states were available. Summaries of the identified state code sections are listed in table format below. Excerpts from the identified sections and the list of states searched on LEXIS are included as appendices. Research was also conducted using the state and federal case law files on LEXIS. The decisions identified as a result of the research and the topics they discuss are listed below. Copies of the decisions are enclosed as appendices. STATUTES AND CODES FINDINGS 1. Many mining- or natural resource-related sections include "clay" in the definition of "mineral". In some cases, the definition of mineral is qualified by the phrase "in this Act". 2. Many mining and natural resource sections use the words "soil" and "earth" almost interchangeably; the word "dirt" is virtually never used. 3. When used in state codes, the word "dirt" usually means "foreign substance", "filth", or "stain" and appears in codes dealing with food, agricultural products and dry cleaning.
