Geotechnical Engineering Research Ideas Cascadia Working Group 05/15/2012
2
Cascadia Shakeout Scenario Potential SoCal EQ – Seismology – Structural – Geotechnical – Lifelines – Social – Public Policy – (Tsunami)
3
Subduction Motion Prediction Models Long-duration codas Long-period (high-frequency) NEED database of subduction zone events – Secondary need: synthetic earthquake motions to “fill out” database
4
Soil-fluid-structure interaction Mainshock -> Tsunami -> Aftershocks Instability – Tsunami structures – Seawalls – Critical Coastal Infrastructure
5
Silt Liquefaction Willamette Valley silts Portland Hills silts NOT sure how these silts will respond to the Cascadia event (or ordinary earthquake motion)
6
Site Response What will CSZ earthquake motion be when it reaches WV population centers?
7
Coastal & Cascadia Landslides Identifying landslides Landslide hazard mapping Large landslides Instability after shaking ceases
