Ground Motion Evaluation
for Jackson Lake Dam |
|
Overview |
This report provides a detailed characterization of the ground motions that might affect Jackson Lake Dam due to a large earthquake on the Teton fault. The Teton fault is an active normal fault capable of producing M 7+ earthquakes. The surface trace of the fault is located 12 km (7 mi) west of Jackson Lake Dam. The fault plane dips to the east, likelyextending to a position below the dam. This
report is based on regional seismic monitoring data, empirical
site response measurements, results of previous geologic
investigations, and ground motion modelling. This report provides design ground motions that are intended to be used as input for engineering analyses of the dam. |
