Magnitude is logarithmic in amplitude but each unit releases about 32× more energy (E ∝ 10^1.5M). Shaking at a site falls off with distance through attenuation. Peak ground acceleration maps to the Modified Mercalli intensity people actually feel — a planning estimate, not a site-specific hazard analysis.

Terzaghi's equation predicts the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow footing as the sum of cohesion, surcharge, and self-weight terms, each with a bearing-capacity factor that grows sharply with the soil friction angle. Dividing by a factor of safety gives the allowable pressure. Educational tool, not a geotechnical design.
