Аннотация:Abstract : On 17 October 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake struck near Santa Cruz, CA. Damage occurred as far away as 60 miles from the earthquake's epicenter. Of particular concern was damage to transportation systems such as the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport (MOIA). Approximately 3,000 ft of the MOIA runway was damaged due to the earthquake. This report documents the damage that occurred at MOIA, possible reasons for the damage occurring, the effort that made the damaged portion of the runway operational again, and possible solutions for reducing the susceptibility of the site to damage from future earthquakes.
