- Abstract
- Existing building strong-motion earthquake instrumentation programs are reviewed and summarized. Specific aspects discussed include building instrumentation programs, current strong-motion ground record processing, utilization of strong-motion records in building design, and information obtained from strong-motion records. Procedures for processing and interpreting data from existing programs are documented. New methods are identified to improve data acquisition analysis and interpretation techniques. Recommendations address fundamental policy, specific technical aspects of instrumentation, data processing, and research needs. The report includes extensive references, the workshop program and its participants, and brief written presentations.
