Abstract
The International Workshop on Strong-Motion Earthquake Instrument Arrays was held May 2-5, 1978 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The goal of the Workshop was to develop a workable plan for the possible future deployment of dense strong-motion arrays with primary emphasis on ground motion studies. Topics considered by the Workshop included; favorable array locations, the design of arrays for source mechanisms and wave propagation, the design of arrays for local effects studies, array construction and operation, and implementation.
