A guide to developing detailed approaches and criteria for assessing and defining dynamic and seismic loads for the design of a geologic repository, as required before a permit and license can be issued. Overviews current principles and practices of load definition and design for facilities having comparable public safety impact, and demonstrates their application to the unique challenges of nuclear- waste repositories. The Yucca Mountain site is used as an example. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Geophysicists use seismic signals to image structures in the Earth's interior, to understand the mechanics of earthquake and volcanic sources, and to estimate their associated hazards. Keiiti Aki developed pioneering quantitative methods for extracting useful information from various portions of observed seismograms and applied these methods to many problems in the above fields. This volume honors Aki's contributions with review papers and results from recent applications by his former students and scientific associates pertaining to topics spawned by his work. Discussed subjects include analytical and numerical techniques for calculating dynamic rupture and radiated seismic waves, stochastic models used in engineering seismology, earthquake and volcanic source processes, seismic tomography, properties of lithospheric structures, analysis of scattered waves, and more. The volume will be useful to students and professional geophysicists alike.
