Group 1

Question 1

All major construction that is required to be safe against earthquake needs inout fromthe _____, _____ and the ______

Answer 1

geologist, seismologist and engineer

Question 2

A type of fault wherein the crust is being pulled apart, in which the overlying (hanging wall) block moves down with respect to the lower (foot wall)

Answer 2

Normal Fault

Question 3

A natural phenomenon that causes sudd. and violent shaking of the ground which creates destructive tremors that causes buildings to collapse and faults to form.

Answer 3

Earthquake

Question 4

What are the two main causes of an earthquake?

Answer 4

Movement within the earth’s crust (tectonic plates) and volcanic eruption or activity

Question 5

This investigates the dynamic earthquake loading by replacing the dynamic effect with a force that is applied statically to a structure or a structural component at the center of mass

Answer 5

Pseudostatic Analysis

Question 6

One of the general approaches used to specify the earthquake motion that begins with the geological-seismological evaluation of earthquake sources and is carried up to a specification of the time histories that will be appropriate for the engineering site

Answer 6

site-specific

Question 7

It is a ratio between the acceleration for an appropriate spectral content and the response in a structure with of the ground

Answer 7

Seismic coefficients

Question 8

It tests a structure by applying a cyclical load approximating that of an earthquake as it would be felt at an engineering site

Answer 8

dynamic analysis

Question 9

What type of fault where the crust is being compressed, in which the hanging-wall block moves up and over the footwall block

Answer 9

Reverse Fault

Question 10

True or False? Where a pseudostatic analysis is to be done, usually no specific geologic or seismologic investigation is needed

Answer 10

True
