Measurement of Ground Movement During Seismic Events
Understanding how ground surface movement is amplified from deep rock motions during seismic events has been a challenge to the earthquake engineering community for many years. Various soil types will increase the deep “rock like” material motions in varying degrees. Some soils can amplify the rock motions many times while others, such as thick peat layers, can actually de-amplify the surface motions. Placing instruments at different depths at given locations will allow engineers and researchers to verify their theories and assumptions of deep ground and surface motions. This data will allow them to calibrate the current equivalent linear site response models available such as SHAKE and other fully non-linear models.
