TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF THE PHILIPPINES CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CE021-Principles of Earthquake Engineering Preliminary Examination NAME: fartojane, Kau, THR DATE: march | 2024 SECTION: (315 4 \stRUCTIONS Pencils and eratabe ink pens are not allowed. Corection tapes are not allowed as. uo erasures in the blank space provided for ansurers. Use four decimal laces in every computation. Answers must be written in two decimal places. No using of elllar phones and any electronic gadget during the examination. Allunnecessary tems must be placed inside your bag. Asie from the test papers, calulater and ballpens fare the only allowed itemsin the desk or table, TRUE Or FALSE. Write True if your answer is true and write False if your answer is false. 1 Tue __Ligquefaction is the process of soil and sand behaving like a dense fluid rather than a wet solid mass during an earthquake, 2.___zwu,__ Moment (of earthquakes) is a measure of earthquake size related to the leverage of the forces (couples) across the area of the fault slip, equal to the rgicity of the rock divide the area of faulting times the amount of slip. Dimensions are dyne-cm (or Newton- meters) 3 qe Rayleigh waves are seismic surface waves with ground motion only in a vertical plane containing the dtection of propagation of the waves. 4 faue The epicenter isthe point on the Earth's surface directly below the focus (or hypocenter) ofan earthquake 5. TUE ___ Love waves are solsmic surface waves with only horizontal shear motion transverse to the direction of propagation. 6. True Accelerometer is a seismograph for measuring ground acceleration as a function of space. 7. True chang Heng created the first “seismoscope” in the year 132 A.D. 8 Fplge Regional seismicity or risk maps recommended by seismic design codes usually do attempt to reflect geological conditions nor to consider variations due to soil properties. 9 nit The lower numbers of the intensity scale generally deal with the way the earthquake is felt by people. 10. False The point on the ground surface directly above the focus is called the earthquake epicenter, 11 Tue Seismicity is a description ofthe relationship of time, space, strength, ‘and frequency of earthquake occurrences within a certain region, and its understanding is the foundation of tsunami study. 12, False The higher numbers of the intensity scale are based on observed structural damage. B True “The Intensity anumier (wiitten as @ Roman numeral] that quenitifes: the magnitude of an earthquake's impact on people, property, and the beneath the earth. 4 gist Aitershocks are numerous earthquakes, usually larger that follow most moderate to large shallow earthquakes in the ensuing hours and even in the next several manths. 15, prt, Seismographs are tools used to capture ground motion during an earthquake. 16. True Intensity V of the Rossi-Forel Scale is described as felt generally by ‘everyone and there is disturbance of furniture and ringing of all bells. q. EQNSE __ In the Richter scale, a Magnitude 6 of an earthquake can cause great damage inside the epicenter. 18. rut The shortcomings of the local magnitude scale were addressed by developing the body-wave scale, mb, to handle deep-focus earthquakes and the surface-wave scale, Ms, to handle distant earthquakes, 19. True Magnitude is a measure of earthquake size and is determined from the logarithm of the maximum displacement or amplitude of the earthquake signal as seen on the seemoaram, with a correction forthe distance between the focus andthe seismometer20. we Intensity V in the Modified Mercalll Scale is describe as felt by nearly everyone; many awakened, Some dishes, windows broken. Stable objects overturned. Pendulum clocks may stop. Problem Solving For the figure shown, determine the following Problem 1 An Earthquake was recorded 175 km North East of Ormoc City as shown on the map.

Its estimated that the blind thrust fault (the slip plane ends before reaching the earth’ Surtace) caused an average strike-slip displacement of 17 m over an area equal to 850 km long by 130 km wide rupture (Plafker & Savage 1970; Barientos & Ward 1990). Assume that the rock along the faut has an average shear rigidity of 4 x 10" dyne/cm’. The energy release is equal to about 20,000 Hiroshima atomic bomb. ‘Note: (1 Hirashima bomb explesion = 6000000000000 joules), 5.
