Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Details of failure of Waldron Ledge landslide. View downward from the road of the jumbled mass of rock resulting from disintegration of the slide block; the mass did not travel far from the base of the cliff. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks. 1983. Figure 44.24- U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. This house on Kapapala Ranch, about 12 kilometers east of the epicenter, was displaced eight-tenths of a meter northeastward. Most supporting posts remained vertical, but those used to frame a basement room were tilted. Concrete foundation piers are partly obscured by grass, behind the figure in the dark jacket. Windows broken during the earthquake are covered with plastic. Near the clump of trees on the hill behind the house, small soil slips can be seen and broken branches strew the ground. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.7, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Section of Crater Rim Drive at the eastern entrance to Kilauea Military Camp that collapsed along a system of cracks trending at azimuth 60 degrees. Earthquake shaking caused subsurface material to settle, thus undermining the road. Note pavement patch from the repair of earlier failure at the same place. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.21, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Damaged commercial building in the old part of Hilo. The side wall separated from the main structure, leaving a gap at roof level of about 21 centimeters. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.17, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Compressional and extensional features where Crater Rim Drive crosses the southwest rift zone of Kilauea Volcano. An open extension crack 5 centimeters wide shows-apparent right lateral offset of about 2 centimeters and vertical offset up to the north (left) of about 1 centimeter. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.22-B, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. North corner pier of a damaged two-story frame house in the Volcano Golf and Country Club Subdivision. Although the house is now 1.2 meters southwest of its foundation, rebar protruding through the piers is still straight. The termite shield from a top pier can be seen on the ground. The house subfloor was originally 1 meter above ground, but most supporting posts collapsed. Photo by J.M. Buchanan- Banks, 1983. Figure 44.9, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Arcuate road crack along Kaumana Drive. The ground slopes downward to the right. Houses were structurally damaged, and a water main was broken in an area just out of view on the left. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.28, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Apartment building in Hilo. Detail of damage to a part of the first floor not shown in photo hvo00124. Along the longest and widest crack, smeared texture and flaking paint indicate an old crack that had been repaired and repainted. As a result of the earthquake, there is renewed cracking along this feature as well as some new cracks through the cinder blocks. This building probably was damaged originally by the 1973 Honomu earthquake and/or by the 1975 Kalapana earthquake. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.18-B, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Apartment building in Hilo. Some blocks were broken in such a way that pieces of them protruded from block or spalled off. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.18-C, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Displaced post-and-pier house support. In this type of construction, two concrete blocks form a pier and a vertical wooden 10 by 10 centimeter post supports the house. The larger block rests on the ground; the smaller is placed on top of this and usually not connected to it. Between the upper block and the post is a termite shield of thin metal. At this locality, both post and upper foundation block have moved several centimeters to the right on their respective supports. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.3, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Damage to houses in South Hilo District. Wood braces have been emplaced to prevent the second story of this house from moving farther down slope. The broken and twisted drain pipe gives an indication of the amount of distortion this house has undergone. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.16-A, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Barn-like three-story-high frame house in Puna District that was moved off its foundation about three-tenths of a meter toward the northeast. The 14 by 14-centimeter wooden post was sheared by rebar that extended from the base of the footing upward into the post as much as 11 centimeters. Most of the other posts supporting the upper story were similarly sheared. The house has been replaced on piers. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.12-B, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.

Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Details of failure of Waldron Ledge landslide. View is southeast at head scarp of landslide and of parallel graben on the other side of the road. Headwall scarp was approximately 14 meters high and 30 meters long. The landslide removed an 11-meter-wide section of road and trail. Photo by J.M. Buchanan-Banks, 1983. Figure 44.24- U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 1350.
