    Chapter 3 Ground Survey Chapter 3 Ground Survey 3.1 Drilling, Laboratory Tests The outline of the lithologic structure in Yerevan can be understood by the geological maps and the collected drilling database, which contains 5,094 logs; however, the data concerning the S wave velocity for the amplification analysis and the soil properties for the liquefaction analysis are not enough. To collect these data, 10 drillings were newly conducted in Yerevan and several tests were conducted using these boreholes. The quantities of the tests are shown in Table 3.1-1. Table 3.1-1 Quantities of Tests Category Quantities Drilling 30m x 10 Groundwater Level Measurement 10 Standard Penetration Test 129 Disturbed Soil Sampling 116 Laboratory Test 116 The drilling points are mainly set to the area where the Quaternary deposits cover because it is effective for the amplification of the earthquake motion by the ground and liquefaction potential. The geologic condition of Yerevan was estimated as follows from the existing information. The rock layer may be shallow in the northern area and the soft soils cover the southern area. Therefore, the selected newly boring points locate in the south of Yerevan city (Figure 3.1-1). The surface soils of each drilling points are shown in Table 3.1-1. The drilling logs are shown in Data Book. The example of drilling log is shown in Figure 3.1-1. 3-1 Final Report Vol. II Main Report 1 Figure 3.1-1 Location of drilling points Table 3.1-2 Surface geology of the drilling points Quaternary layer Symbol Age No.

  • Risk Assessment Chapter 6
    Chapter 6 Risk Assessment Chapter 6 Risk Assessment 6.1 Damage of Buildings The building damage functions for multi-story residential buildings, for low-rise individual houses and for schools and hospitals are made mainly based on the damage by Spitak earthquake in 1988. Therefore, the seismic resistance of the buildings in 1988 is considered tacitly in creating the damage function; however, already over 20 years has passed from 1988. Most building in Yerevan has been constructed before 1991 and the aging effect to the seismic resistance of the buildings is a matter of concern. Also the maintenance of the residential buildings after 1991 is said to became poor than before. The effects of these issues are necessary to be included for realistic risk assessment. The quantitative effects are evaluated by expert judgment in discussing with Armenian researchers and concluded that the damage ratio is increased 10% for aging effect and 10% for poor maintenance issue. As a result, the damage functions in Figures 5.3-17, 5.3-19 and 5.3-20 are multiplied by 1.2 to calculate the damage of buildings. 6.1.1 Multi-story residential buildings Number of heavily damaged multi-story residential buildings per grid of 250m x 250m against two scenario earthquakes is shown in Figure 6.1-1. 6.1.2 Individual house Number of heavily damaged individual houses per grid of 250m x 250m is shown in Figure 6.1-2. 6.1.3 Summary of damage of buildings 1) Damages of multi-story buildings and individual houses at each district are summarized in Table 6.1-1.

  • Children's Health Challenges Caused by Environmental
    ХИМИЧЕСКАЯ БЕЗОПАСНОСТЬ, 2017, Том 1, № 2, с. 1143, http://www.chemsafety.ru Влияние загрязнителей окружающей среды на здоровье человека UDC 504.75 DOI: 10.25514/CHS.2017.2.10981 CHILDREN’S HEALTH CHALLENGES CAUSED BY ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE AND MAIN PROPOSED SOLUTION APPROACHES1 K. Danielyan*, A. Nazaretyan, S. Kosyan, and L. Nersisyan Association “For Sustainable Human Development” Chair on Ecology and Sustainable Development of Armenian State Pedagogical University, Yerevan, Republic of Armenia, *e-mail: [email protected] Received August 16, 2017 The article summarizes and analyzes both official and independent current experimental data on the state of the environment in the Republic of Armenia in order to identify the most disadvantaged areas and the possible impact of degraded ecosystems on the health of the population, especially children. The obtained results show that the most risk-relevant zones are mining areas contaminated with heavy metals, which exert rather negative impact on human health, in particular, children’s health. Some recommendations for improving the situation are presented. Keywords: environment in Republic of Armenia, climate change, children health, disasters, mining, heavy metals in soil, water, food. INTRODUCTION Currently, numerous and comprehensive extensive studies resulted in the following conclusion made by the International Scientific Society in conjunction with the World Health Organization: the health of the population generally depends on the following factors: 1. Ecology (up to 20%); 2. Socio-economic factors (up to 50%); 3. Genetics (up to 20%); 4. State of healthcare services (up to 10%) [1-3]. Meanwhile, it is also obvious that these relationships are typical for “standard” situations, hence, if any of the factors is severely deteriorated, the impact/weight of this factor significantly increases.
