Geological-Seismological Evaluation of Earthquake Hazards at Surry Mountain Damsite, New Hampshire.

Abstract

Seismic zones were developed for southeastern New England based on geological and geophysical data and on historic seismicity. Each zone was assigned a floating maximum earthquake and earthquake motions were attenuated from their sources to the site. The site was found to be subject to a local earthquake (acceleration 0.16 g, velocity 13 cm/sec, and duration > or = 0.05 g of 4 sec) and a Cape Ann earthquake (acceleration 0.13 g, velocity 13 cm/sec, and duration > or = 0.05 g of 4 sec). Accelerograms and response spectra appropriate to these values were selected.
