- Abstract
- Nine papers by UCLA Earthquake Laboratory researchers were presented on the following topics: (1) earthquake risk models based on statistical factors of a region; (2) effects of site on ground motion in the 1971 San Fernando earthquake; (3) development of an earthquake risk model based on a bayesian estimate of seismicity; (4) determination of the length of the fault segment which produces significant strong motion at a given location near a very long fault; (5) method of separating body and surface waves in strong motion accelograms and its application to the 1971 San Fernando earthquake; (6) development of a technique to calculate the surface wave transfer functions between two stations; (7) properties of short period surface waves in a layered medium; (8) development of a method of static incremental analysis for predicting collapse of multistory buildings; and (9) use of cyclic cubic test apparatus for liquefaction tests on loose saturated sand.
