Strong Motion Observation from Recent Destructive Earthquakes in China Mainland

Article Preview

Abstract:

Strong earthquake motion observations have gathered much useful data for the seismic-resistant design of civil engineering structures, and for developing earthquake prevention technology. The performance of Chinese strong motion network has been evaluated from recent earthquakes in Chinese Mainland. To follow the new requirement of the earthquake mitigation plan, some new practice of strong motion observations are described, including rapid urban ShakeMap, earthquake early warning system.
