4 INTRODUCTION To assure sustainable development of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and cultivate a disaster-free living environment for its citizens, the Abu Dhabi Municipality initiated the Project : ASSESSMENT OF SEISMIC HAZARD AND RISK IN EMIRATE OF ABU DHABI PROCJECT OBJECTIVE: To quantify and assess the seismic hazard and risk that exists for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. 4

5 INTRODUCTION PROJECT OUTCOMES Enhanced planning and policy tools for rapid response during seismic induced state of emergencies Engineering data and information for enhanced design and protection of an evolving infrastructure A scientific understanding into the dynamic structure underneath the Emirate TK DESCRIPTION 01 Seismic Zoning 02 Site Amplification & Microzonation 03 Liquefaction Susceptibility Study 04 Seismic Design Parameters 05 Risk Analysis of Lifelines 06 Risk Analysis of Critical Structures 07 Permanent Accelerograph Network 08 Seismic Monitoring Network 09 Ground Shaking Map 10 Structural Health Monitoring 11 3D Seismic Simulation Model 12 Risk Analysis of Tall Buildings 13 Loss Estimation 14 Data Management Centers 15 GIS Seismic Database 16 Coordinated Activities 17 Promotion & Public Awareness 18 Training 19 Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) 20 Maintenance

6 INTRODUCTION Objectives Furnishing and Installing a 50-Station Strong Motion Network Ground Strong Motion Maps shakemaps Areas in the Abu Dhabi Emirate: Abu Dhabi Municipality (ADM), Al Ain Municipality (AAM) and Western Region Municipality (WRM ) ADM - Plan Abu Dhabi 2030: Urban Structure Framework Plan AAM - Al Ain Urban and Regional Structure Plan 2015 WRM - Designated Urban Areas in Western Region Municipality 6

7 INTRODUCTION Description 50 Free-Field Strong Motion Stations Selection Based on: Seismic Hazard Zoning Microzoning Distribution Patterns Site Geotechnical Characteristics Distribution of Built Environment Reclaimed Areas under Development Compliance with Consortium of Organizations for Strong Motion Observation Systems - COSMOS Guidelines 7

8 INTRODUCTION Task Deliverables Provision of Equipment Disposition of Strong Motion Network Installation of Strong Motion Network Site Characterization and Site Response Analysis of Accelerograph Sites (Lab work & Studies) 8

9 EQUIPMENT Digitizer/Recorder: Basalt 4X Sensor: SB EpiSensor Accelerometer ES-T EpiSensor Accelerometer Enclosure Design Power System Solar Panel (80W) Intelligent Solar Battery Charger 42Ah Battery Communication Layout Wireless 3G Network (Raven XE) Redundant Links to 2 Data Centers 9

25 GROUND MOTION ESTIMATION Software for: Automatic processing & graphic rendering of spatial distribution of earthquake induced ground shaking in different formats Information dissemination & displayed via Webpages Antelope module provided by Kinemetrics allows for near real-time data acquisition and interface with USGS ShakeMap program 25

26 GROUND MOTION ESTIMATION Why ShakeMap? Location & magnitude alone not adequate to determine possible areas of damage ShakeMap incorporates attenuation relations, geologic data, and recorded data Provides easy-to-digest visuals showing areas of peak ground motion (PGV, PGA, PSA) for nonseismologists The defacto standard 26

27 GROUND MOTION ESTIMATION ShakeMap Automation within Antelope Antelope real-time system will calculate locations and magnitudes Antelope downloads segmented strong-motion data automatically and measures ground-motion metrics for available weak- and strong-motion sites Starting the ShakeMap system for a suitable origin 27

28 GROUND MOTION ESTIMATION ShakeMap Results 28
