Data Release for the 2016 East Bay Seismic Imaging Investigation of the Hayward Fault Zone In October 2016, we acquired an approximately 15-km-long seismic profile along a linear transect across the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay area. Our goal was to image previously unknown strands of the Hayward Fault zone and to better delineate the structure and geometry of the main trace of the Hayward Fault. Our profile started near the southern border of San Leandro, California at the San Francisco Bay shoreline, trended ENE through the northern edge of Castro Valley, California, and ended approximately 5 km WSW of San Ramon, California. The data were analyzed using refraction tomography modeling, reflection processing, and guided-wave analysis. The analyzed data are presented in separate reports by...

SGFZ is a right-lateral fault system that is mainly offshore, and prior studies provide highly variable slip estimates, which indicates uncertainty about the seismic hazard it poses. Therefore, the primary goal of the seismic survey was to better understand the structure and geometry of the onshore section of the Frijoles Fault strand of the SGFZ. We deployed 118 geophones (channels) at 5-m spacing along a linear profile centered on the mapped surface trace of the Frijoles Fault and co-located active P- and S-wave sources...

We acquired two separate profiles across the Hollywood Fault, and from those data, we can evaluate multiple seismic datasets, including guided-wave data, tomographic Vp data, and tomographic Vs data. From the datasets, we can calculate multiple seismic models, including Vp/Vs and Poisson's ratio models derived from tomographic Vp and Vs data, Rayleigh-wave-based Vs models, Love-wave-based Vs models, Vp/Vs and Poisson's ratio models (derived from combinations of tomographic-based Vp and surface-wave-based Vs models), P-wave reflection...

The SGFZ is a Holocene-active, dominantly right-lateral fault system that trends more than 200 km along the California coastline. The Frijoles Fault is one of several onshore strands of the SGF system, and together the strands represent a 3- to 4-km wide fault zone at Año Nuevo. Prior paleoseismology studies indicate highly variable slip-rate estimates, indicating considerable uncertainty about the slip history of the SGFZ and the seismic hazard it poses. Amongst the onshore strands of the SGFZ at Año Nuevo, the Frijoles Fault presented...

Our goal was to measure seismic velocities (particularly Vs) at each dam site using body and surface waves. The data were analyzed using refraction tomography and multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW), especially in the upper 30 m of the subsurface. The analyzed data are presented in a separate report (Catchings and others, in review). We also recorded one hour of ambient noise (passive-source) data along most of the same profiles. This work was completed under the authority of a 2011 agreement relating to scientific and technical...

We acquired seismic reflection, refraction, and guided-wave data along a 115-m-long profile across the known surface rupture zone of the West Napa Fault zone. To acquire the reflection and refraction data, we co-located shots and geophones, spaced every meter along the profile. We used 116 SercelTM L40A P-wave (40-Hz vertical-component) geophones with a sensitivity of 22.34 volts/meter/second to record 116 P-wave shots. We also used 116 SercelTM L28-LBH S-wave (4.5-Hz horizontal-component) geophones with a sensitivity of...

Seismic data were acquired using a DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismograph system ("node"), which continuously recorded at 2000 samples per second. Nodes were deployed 5 meters apart from west-southwest to east-northeast to create an approximately 800-m-long linear profile. P-wave data were generated primarily using a 500-lb (227-kg) accelerated weight drop at each recording station. In areas of difficult access, P-wave data were generated using a sledgehammer striking a steel plate. S-wave data were generated using a sledgehammer horizontally striking an aluminum block anchored to the ground. Every...

These strong motion instruments recorded horizontal peak accelerations (PGAs) from 0.329g to 0.611g, which were among the highest recorded in the Napa area during the 24 August 2014 Mw 6.0 South Napa Earthquake. Our goal is to measure the seismic velocities of the underlying geologic material at each strong motion site using P- and S-wave refraction tomography and analysis of surface waves, especially in the upper 30 m of the subsurface.

Both passive- and active-source seismic data were acquired using DTCC SmartSolo 3-component nodal seismograph systems ("nodes"), which continuously recorded data at rates up to 2000 samples per second. For passive-source acquisition, a 6x5 grid of nodes was deployed for several weeks before and during the active source shooting. For active-source acquisition, 395 nodes were deployed 1 meter apart (2 meters apart near the endpoints) along a southwest-northeast trend to create an approximately 500-m-long linear array. Additional nodes were deployed at 1 or 2 meter spacing along 25- and...

One of the nodes was located immediately outside the vault, and the other was located within the vault, adjacent to a broadband seismometer. The objective of this deployment was to compare recordings of local earthquakes and ambient noise as recorded by very stable broadband recorders in the vault with nodes that were placed within and outside of the vault. The node within the vault was placed in a barrel filled with sand, and the node outside of the vault was placed a few inches below the surface. Both nodes recorded for approximately 28 days.

We acquired the seismic data to evaluate the time-averaged shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m (VS30) and to better understand ground-shaking near the station CE.57213.
