Common use of Database Updates Clause in Contracts

Database Updates. The Ground Shaking Working Group is discussing the need for and analysis of large-scale ground-shaking maps for the Wasatch Front, based on a WFCVM incorporating shallow shear-wave velocity (Vs30) and deep-basin structure, and new liquefaction-hazard maps. The UGS has compiled databases that identify existing data on shallow shear-wave velocities (Vs30), deep-basin structure, geotechnical landslide shear strengths, and Quaternary faults and folds. We continue to track new geologic mapping and studies of Quaternary faults in Utah for updates to the Utah Quaternary Fault and Fold Database and Map. Presently, about two dozen faults and fault sections need updated database files; we have completed draft updates for seven of these. Once through the UGS review process, the revised database files will be forwarded to the USGS for incorporation into the Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States. We continue to develop an interactive map and database of Utah’s Quaternary faults and folds that will be accessible through the UGS website. This version of the map and database supplements the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States by highlighting structures for which new data exist, but may not yet be available through the national database. The map will be served on the UGS website with ESRI’s ArcServer technology, for user on-the-fly location querying and map generation.
