Abstract:
Perceptions, knowledge and mitigation are factors that might play a role in preventing injury and loss of life during a major earthquake.(2) Little is known about the relationships between different demographic and educational parameters and these factors. A national representative sample of 495 adults was investigated in order to determine the relationship between demographic and educational parameters in terms of the perceived threat, perceived coping, knowledge and mitigation of earthquakes in Israel. Compared to females, males perceived the threat of earthquakes to be lower (t = 3.183, p = 0.002), manifested higher levels of perceived coping (t = 2.55, p = 0.011), and had higher levels of earthquake related knowledge (t = 2.047, p = 0.041). We conclude that there are gender differences in perceptions and knowledge regarding earthquakes.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by a...
