  2. Seismic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_code

    The 1940 seismic code was developed in response to the 1939 Erzincan earthquake which killed 32,000 people. It drew parallels with Italy's seismic codes at the time. A seismic zonation map was also developed in 1942 which assessed the seismic hazard of all Turkish provinces on three levels; "hazardous", "less hazardous" and "no hazard".

    The California Building Standards Code is the building code for California, and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). It is maintained by the California Building Standards Commission which is granted the authority to oversee processes related to the California building codes by California Building Standards Law.

    SEAONC is the northern California section of the statewide Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC). SEAOC's Recommended Lateral Force Requirements, a.k.a. "Blue Book", first published in 1959, has since influenced the development of seismic analysis and design provisions in building codes nationwide. [2]

    The San Jacinto Fault Zone and the San Andreas Fault (SAF) accommodate up to 80% of the slip rate between the North American and Pacific plates.The extreme southern portion of the SAF has experienced two moderate events in historical times, while the SJFZ is one of California's most active fault zones and has repeatedly produced both moderate and large events.

  8. Southern California Earthquake Center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_California...

    The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is a collaboration of more than 1,000 scientists across 100 research institutions focused primarily on conducting research on earthquakes in Southern California and elsewhere by gathering data, conducting theoretical studies, and performing computer simulations; integrate information into a comprehensive, physics-based understanding of ...
