EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING IN AUSTRALIA BEFORE MECKERING AND AFTER NEWCASTLE by Charles Bubb BE‚ DIC (Eng. Seis.)‚ FIEAust‚ CPEng SUMMARY Earthquake Engineering in Australia‚ as elsewhere‚ has been formulated in the aftermath of damaging earthquakes. The first Australian Code AS2121-1979 was written and published after the 1968 Meckering WA earthquake. The second AS1170.4 1993 was published after the 1989 Newcastle NSW earthquake. Good quality Building Codes are a necessary basis for sound earthquake

measure of the magnitude of seismic waves from an earthquake. Devised in 1935 by the American seismologist Charles F. Richter (1900–1985) and technically known as the local magnitude scale‚ it has been superseded by the moment magnitude scale‚ which was developed in the 1970s. The Richter scale is logarithmic; that is‚ the amplitude of the waves increases by powers of 10 in relation to the Richter magnitude numbers. The energy released in an earthquake can easily be approximated by an equation that

Cause and effect of earthquakes The ground trembles‚ shakes and growls. Pictures that were once hanging so beautifully on the wall smash to the ground exploding into glittery slivers of broken glass‚ roadways break apart‚ engulfing whatever was in its path‚ never to be seen again. For many‚ this would seem to be the makings of a fictional horror movie created by Hollywood with intent to frighten a person and to play with ones senses. For those who live in the areas depicted by film‚ this is

Earthquakes: Why do some places suffer more than others? Whilst earthquakes are perhaps the most frequently occurring natural hazard‚ their impact on people‚ property and communities varies enormously from one place to another. It is possible to identify a number of factors that cause some places to suffer more than others. Whilst some are large scale and are to do with tectonic location‚ others are decided at a much more local scale‚ and relate to building design and levels of preparedness. Perhaps

believe. They agree that rapid growth in today’s less developed countries have favorable effects such as economies of scale and specialization‚ better capacities‚ and motivations of younger people compared with older ones. However‚ rapid population growth creates high pressures on elemental resources that compromises our actual model of development as human beings. In fact‚ it’s often suggested that rapid population growth in developing countries intensifies environmental degradation‚ since more people
