Examples of engineering geologic mapping in seismically active areas of the united states
Summary Many types of engineering geologic maps have been made for seismically active areas of the United States in the last 15 years. Groups of maps have been prepared that show many of the following basic factors: active faults, recurrence intervals along faults, landslides, areas of known ground failure at the time of previous earthquakes, areas subject to tsunamis, location of epicenters, magnitudes and intensities of past earthquakes, and structural damage at times of previous earthquakes. Various kinds of interpretive maps show acceleration probability, liquefaction potential, landslide potential, seismic response of geologic units, and other zoning for land-use planning. Maps of predicted regional maximum earthquake intensity have been published for the San Francisco Bay area. These various maps are essential for use in land-use planning, which is now recognized as one of the best ways to lessen the danger of earthquake-related loss of life and damage to structures.
