1 When the Big One Comes A Study of Hazards Associated with a Major Earthquake Along Utah’s Highly-Populated Wasatch Front Authored by Kevin Franke Civil Engineering Student CEE 5440 Final Project

2 Objective Pyramid:

3 So What’s the Worry?......

4 The Wasatch Fault Up-Close:

5 Primary Hazard: Shaking

6 Secondary Hazard: Liquefaction
Shallow Water Table Silty, Loose Soil Little Significant Vegetation Ground Shaking

7 Secondary Hazard: Landslide
Like liquefaction, only add gravity

8 Secondary Hazard: Tectonic-Induced Flooding

9 A work in progress…. Move into Earthquake Probability….the new science of “Earthquake Prediction” Map of actual earthquakes in 2002 Structure information on buildings in danger zones Observations and recommendations

10 Questions?.....
