Objectives/Goals Since California is unprepared for a major tsunami, I wondered if a man made shallow underwater structure would make the wave break earlier before and give up some of its de…
CSEF · 2006
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals Building foundations are usually made of steel and concrete, which in turn rely on a solid soil base beneath them for stability. During an earthquake the soil base undergoes…
CSEF · 2006
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The objective is to find out what location (front, middle, back) and length of seepage curtains cause the most resistance to seepage under dams. If dams with seepage curtain…
CSEF · 2006
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The objective was to determine the affect bottom contour has on the height of a wave. I wanted to try to reduce a wave as much as possible. I wanted to find a possible way t…
CSEF · 2006

CSEF · 2006
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals To examine which soil textures can hold the most water (water holding capacity). To check that different soil textures have different water holding capacities. Methods/Mater…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals In 2004, ABA Energy noted a circular feature in their analysis of a 3-D seismic dataset in the Sacramento basin. The analyst's objective was to determine whether this featur…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine whether barriers placed offshore can effectively minimize the impact of tsunami waves. Which barrier design is most effective in reducing the a…
CSEF · 2005
Earth Sciences/ Planetary Sciences/ Physical Environments
Objectives/Goals To find out if the natural creeks can support the beach without manmade help. Recently the County Parks Department put a large amount of sand on the beach to try and save it…
