- TRUE OR FALSE PLEASE ANSWER NUMBERS 8-10 ALL. Thank u 8. It is advisable to build houses in reclaimed lands adjacent to bodies of water to prevent landslide and liquefaction that an earthquake may cause. 9. 10. On the same location, a sudden receding of water along the shoreline after an earthquake is due to gravitational interaction between the earth and moon.Please answer the following. Topic is Analysis of Gravity DamsDamaging earthquakes in an area occur following a Poisson probability mass function. In the past 100 years, there have been 11 such damaging earthquakes in the area. (a) Compute the probability that in the next 10 years, there will not be any such earthquakes in the area. (b) If such an earthquake occurs, there is a 0.02 probability that a bridge located in the area will be damaged. Compute the probability of damage to the bridge because of probable earthquakes in the next 10 years.
- Early in the century the earthquake in San francisco registered 8.3 on the richter scale. In the same year, another earthquake was recorded in South America that was four time stronger. What was the magnitude of the earthquake in south america?The 17 August 1999 Kocaeli (Mw=7.4) and 12 November 1999 Düzce (Mw=7.2) earthquakes were the largest natural disasters of the twentieth century in Turkey after the 1939 Erzincan earthquake. These earthquakes caused severe damage and collapse especially of building structures. The figure below shows damage observed in the cities of Adapazari and Izmit (Kocaeli earthquake). Comment on the relationship between the observed damage and the earthquake-induced ground effects illustrated earlier. Damage observed during the 17 August 1999 Kocaeli in Adapazari (left) and Izmit in Turkey (right)From time to time we check out the time,do you encounter random or systematic error?how to minimize the random or systematic error?
