  1. When the Big One ComesA 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?.....
