The Ground Shakes

A moderate earthquake of Magnitude 6.5 strikes the Central Coast of California on December 22, 2003 at 11:15:56 AM local time

2 confirmed dead40 injured in Paso Robles/Templeton area.1 building collapsed and more than 40 severely damaged in Paso Robles AreaAtascadero City Hall damaged and closed for operations.Estimated loss to be equivalent of $200 millions

Seismological Aspects

©R. K. Goel San Simeon Earthquake Slide No. 6

Magnitude of an EarthquakeLocal or Richter Scale, ML

Based on measurements on a Wood-Anderson seismometer located 100 km from the epicenterNot appropriate for measuring large earthquakes

Surface Wave Magnitude, MsBased on measurements of surface waves (Rayleigh)Best for measuring shallow earthquakes at large epicentral distance

Moment Magnitude, MwBased on seismic moment that depends on the rock rupture strength, area of rupture, and amount of slipConsidered to be best for measuring large earthquakes

©R. K. Goel San Simeon Earthquake Slide No. 7

Relationship Between Different Scales

The Richter (or Local) scale saturates at about 7The Surface Wave Magnitude saturates at about 8The Moment Magnitude scale does not saturate

Magnitude of the EarthquakeMoment Magnitude of the San Simeon earthquake estimated by USGS: Mw = 6.5This magnitude is indicative of energy released by rupture of the fault

Indicates damage potential in the epicenter regionDoes not mean that a region far from the epicenter, e.g., San Luis Obispo City, also experienced the same magnitude earthquakeIntensity scale (e.g., Modified Mercalli Scale is more indicative of damage potential in different areas.

©R. K. Goel San Simeon Earthquake Slide No. 9

Intensity Scale: Modified Mercalli Scale

Indicates how much shaking was felt in any location from same magnitude earthquakeScale from I to XII

I = not FeltV = felt by everyone, objects overturned, no structural damageVII = considerable damage to poorly designed (e.g., unreinforced masonry) construction XII: total destruction

Different intensity scale noted for different locations for the same earthquake

Epicenter

The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins.

Fault at “Fault”

Exact location is currently unknown but northern portion of Oceanic Fault is the likely candidateNo surface rupture found

Prior Earthquake in Vicinity of San Simeon

M5 to M6 (?) earthquake in 1853M5.7 earthquake in 1906ML6.2 in 1952Current earthquake of Mw = 6.5 in 2003Is there a pattern of significant event about every 50 year?

Fault TypesStrike–Slip

Horizontal motion between two plates

NormalVertical motion with side above the incline sliding downDue to tension between two sides

Reverse or ThrustVertical motion with side above the incline sliding upDue to compression between two sides

©R. K. Goel San Simeon Earthquake Slide No. 17

Strike-Slip or ThrustMotion between Pacific-North American plate in California is primarily strike-slipA few compression zones also exist

San Simeon Earthquake

The earthquake occurred on a thrust (or reverse) fault zoneThrust events build the coastal mountain ranges of central coast of California. http://www3.uakron.edu/geography/lrb/physf97/lectures/platetect/sld031.htm

Motions in Templeton

Information: CISN

©R. K. Goel San Simeon Earthquake Slide No. 23

Directivity EffectsMotion in Templeton, which is 38 km from the epicenter, are larger than in Cambria, which is only 13 km from the epicenter?

Peak horizontal ground accelerations are 0.48g in Templeton and 0.18g in Cambria

Larger motion in Templeton is due to directivity effects

Fault rupture started at the epicenter and progressed South-East towards TempletonLarger accelerations occur in the direction of fault rupture due to Doppler-Type effects

Observations on Damage Pattern

Unreinforced masonry buildings suffered the most damage

Many such buildings are more than 100 years oldNot designed for seismic loadsLack detailing to transfer seismic forces from structure to the foundation

Unreinforced masonry buildings have been known to be seismically vulnerable

State and local codes require retrofit but the deadline was 2008 to 2018

Accelerations were about 17%g in SLO compared to perhaps more than 50%g in Paso RoblesPerformance of unreinforced-masonry buildings in SLO would not be significantly different than in Paso Robles if the shaking in SLO had been stronger

Conclusion and LessonsUnreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are highly susceptible to seismic loading

Potential for collapseSignificant hazard from falling bricks from façade

Even basic seismic retrofit – tying floor/roof diaphragm to walls – minimized the collapse potential for URM building

San Simeon earthquake tested several retrofitted buildings in Paso RoblesMost retrofitted buildings survived without major damage

©R. K. Goel San Simeon Earthquake Slide No. 73

Conclusion and LessonsBuildings on street corners performed poorly

Asymmetric in building plan due to large open windows on street sidesTorsional motions impose larger demands on lateral load resisting elements during earthquake

Buildings at the end of the block performed poorly compared to similar buildings in mid-block

End buildings gets kicked out by neighboring buildingNeed special attention during retrofit
