2. What is Earthquake?
An earthquake is the
sudden, rapid shaking or
rolling of the Earth.
Earthquakes happen
when rocks break or slip
along fault lines in the
Earth’s crust, releasing
energy that causes the
ground to move.

• The Africa: the continent of Africa as a continent.
• Antarctic Plate, covering Antarctica is a continent.
• Australian Plate, covering Australia (To pages linked to
India, about 50-55 million years ago) was the continents.
• Eurasian plate, covering Asia and Europe as a continent.
• North American plate, covering North America and
northeastern Siberia, is inserted continent.
• South American plate, a sheet covering North America.
• The Pacific: the Pacific Ocean. As the ocean.
• There are also smaller than the plate, including the
Indian, the S series, the Caribbean, in the Juan de Fu, in

10. What Causes Earthquake
http://www.il.mahidol.ac.th/e-media/earth-
science/chapter1_3.html
The sudden slip at the fault causes
the earthquake a violent shaking of the
Earth when large elastic strain energy
released spreads out through seismic
waves that travel through the body and
along the surface of the Earth.

11. WHAT IS A FAULT?
Earthquakes occur on faults.
A fault is a thin zone of crushed rock
between two blocks of rock , and
can be any length, from centimeters
to thousands of kilometers. When
an earthquake occurs on one of
these faults, the rock on one side of
the fault slips with respect to the
other. The fault surface can be
vertical, horizontal, or at some
angle to the surface of the earth.
The slip direction can also be at any
angle. We classify these into two
basic cases: strike slip and dip-slip
motion.

18. Measuring the shaking
Magnitude is a measurement of the energy
produced by the earthquake and is not what you feel
during the event. What you feel is very complex-- hard
or gentle, long or short, jerky or rolling--and not
describable with one number.

32. Wave Equation
M = earthquake magnitude (Richter).
A = the height of seismic waves as high as possible.
A0 = height of seismic waves at the center.

34. M = log A- logA0
= log10 - log0.001
= 1 - (-3)
= 4

35. M = log20 - log0.001
= 1.3 - (-3)
= 4.3

36. Aspects of the motion are described by the
peak velocity (how fast the ground is
moving), peak acceleration (how quickly the
speed of the ground is changing), the frequency
(energy is released in waves and these waves
vibrate at
different frequencies just like sound waves), and
the duration (how long the strong shaking lasts).
Three factors primarily determine what you feel in
an earthquake. These are:
1) magnitude
2) distance from the fault
3) local soil conditions

38. MAGNITUDE
When scientists refer to a “Great“
earthquake, they do not mean the
earthquake was fabulous, they mean it was
huge. Informally, earthquakes are classified
according to their magnitude
size: under 5 small
5 - 6 moderate 6 - 7 large
7 - 7.8 major 7.8 or above great

40. Intensity
Intensity is a qualitative measure of the actual
shaking at a location during an earthquake, and is
assigned as Roman Capital Numerals. There are
many intensity scales. Two commonly used ones are
the Modified Marcella Intensity (MMI) Scale and the
MSK
Scale. Both scales are quite similar and range
from I- (least perceptive) to XII- (most severe). The
intensity scales are
based on three features of shaking.
• perception by people and animals,
• performance of buildings, and
• changes to natural surroundings.

41. How the Ground Shakes?
Seismic Waves
Large strain energy released during an
earthquake travels as seismic waves in all
directions through the Earth’s layers, reflecting
and refracting at each interface. These waves
are of two types -body waves and surface
waves; the latter are restricted to near the
Earth’s surface Body waves consist of Primary
Waves (P-waves)
and Secondary Waves (S-waves), and surface
waves consist of Love waves and Rayleigh
waves.

47. Focal Pont
The point on the fault where slip starts is
the Focus or Hypocenter, and the point
vertically above this on the surface of the
Earth is the Epicenter. The depth of focus from
the epicenter, called as Focal Depth, is an
important parameter in determining the
damaging

54. The formula to calculate earthquakes.
Standards used to design buildings to resist
earthquakes (Design Code) is an American UBC Code
(Uniform Building Code), which are many ways to
calculate earthquakes. But how convenient and
widely used in building work is to Lateral Load
Analysis or Base Shear Analysis by converting seismic
(Dynamic Load) in the form of shear forces acting at
the base of the building Static Load, which can be
obtained from formula

55. Design Code
V = Z I K C S Wd V = a Wt
V= Total base shear
Z = Seismic zoning factor
I = Occupancy important factor (1.0 - 1.5)
K = Frame factor
C = Coefficient that depends on the period
(Period), the swing of the building.
S = Soil factor (1.0 - 1.5)
Wd = Total dead loads of structure
WT = Total dead loads and live loads of
structure
a = Base shear coefficient
