DEPLOYMENT OF STRONG-MOTION EARTHQUAKE INSTRUMENT ARRAYS

The International Workshop on Strong‐motion Earthquake Instrument Arrays was held during 2‐5 May 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: favourable array locations, the design of arrays for source mechanism and wave propagation studies, the design of arrays for local effects studies, array construction and operation, and implementation. This paper gives a summary of the recommendations and conclusions of the workshop. Copyright © 1979 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
