Effective Cohesion
Coefficient of Consolidation, ch
Teh and Houlsby (1991) proposed the following
Formula to estimate ch:
T *R2 I r
ch =
t
T* = modified time factor for a given probe geometry
and porous element location
t = measured time
R = radius of the probe
Ir = rigidity index = G/su

Earthquake Magnitude
Richter Local Magnitude, ML
- the log10 of the maximum trace amplitude (in micrometer) recorded
on a Wood-Anderson seismometer located 100km from the epicenter
Surface Wave Magnitude, Ms
- based on the amplitude of Rayleigh waves with a period of 20 sec.
Body Wave Magnitude, mb
- based on the amplitude of the first few cycles of p-waves
Japanese Meteorological Agency Magnitude, MJMA
- based on the amplitude of long-period waves
