Most earthquake damage occurs due to ground amplifications which, for the same earthquake magnitude, change with ground stiffness at relatively shallow depths. Based on the premise established from a study that the top 30-m influences most and the shear-wave velocity (Vs) is the best indicator of stiffness, the average Vs in the top 30 m (denoted as Vs30m) is used as an important criterion in the design of building structures. In general, a lower Vs30m would be subject to a greater ground amplification (and ...

For over twenty years, BioSolve Pinkwater has been used for Surfactant Enhanced Remediation (SER) to mobilize and solubilize residual NAPL[i], facilitating its recovery and disposal. Depending on soil and plume characteristics, Pinkwater solution can reach contaminated zones through deep injection wells or be gravity fed from surface level injection galleries. After desorbing residual NAPL from soil surfaces on contact, Pinkwater then solubilizes the hydrocarbons in an aqueous emulsion, enabling extraction at down ...

Fault zones: Geological faults are related to an increase in weathering and loosening up of the surrounding rock, which causes an increase in hydraulic routing. This lowers the rigidity of the rock and increases the risk for constructing new buildings. In the event of an earthquake, even dislocations are possible along the fault. Seismic refraction measurements enable the mapping of seismic velocities and related material properties. The lateral variations of these velocities then indicate the location of fault ...
