1 Strong Motion Data: Structures Adam Pascale Chief Technology Officer, Seismology Research Centre a division of ESS Earth Sciences Treasurer, Australian Earthquake Engineering Society

2 Why monitor buildings? Before a major earthquake Determine natural frequency of structure Monitor response to minor earthquakes During a major earthquake Alarm generation for occupants Record dynamic response of building After a major earthquake Look for changes in natural frequency Compare actual performance to design

3 Natural Period Taller buildings = longer periods Greater than 10 storeys, >1 sec period Smaller buildings = higher frequency 1 to 10 storeys resonate at 2 to 30Hz If a building is shaken at its natural frequency, the shaking is amplified Low-rise buildings at greater risk

4 Natural Period Video

5 Seismograms Terms: Seismometer: sensor that measures ground velocity Accelerometer: sensor that measures ground acceleration Seismograph: a data logger that takes input from any seismic sensor Accelerograph: a seismograph with an acceleration sensor connected Seismogram/Accelerogram: recording from seismograph/accelerograph Usually triaxial North-South, East-West, Up-Down

6

7 Positioning Instruments DPWH recommendations Basement: record input ground motion Tall buildings: also middle and top Locate near columns Synchronised recording (usually GPS) More sensors give engineers a better idea of how building responds to earthquake Basement instrument position not critical as it is not measuring building response

8 Placement: Corner vs Centre Linear motion Similar amplitudes Rotational motion Different amplitudes Corner mounted sensor will detect rotational motion more clearly

9 Amplification Structures on sediment or saturated sand, surface waves can be amplified Large nearby earthquakes typically have most energy in 2-20Hz range If natural frequency of structure matches earthquake frequency, further amplification is possible

10 Measuring Natural Frequency Need to detect very low amplitude motion Usually recorded with a seismometer Modern high-sensitivity, high-resolution accelerometers can detect natural period Natural noise provides excitation source (weather, population activity) MEMS accelerometers (used in cellphones) and geophones not sensitive enough

11 Comparing sensors Feedback coil accelerometer Noise level <1µg MEMS accelerometer Noise floor ~300µg Seismometer 1Hz noise <0.05µm/s Geophone 1Hz noise ~10µm/s Magnitude 1.8 at 115km range

12 Accelerometer Technologies Force Feedback Coil type Technology proven for many decades Sensitivity has steadily improved Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) type Developed from airbag sensor technology Cheap, but sensitivity worse than oldest coil tech Optical Laser Interferometry type New technology, extremely sensitive Twice the cost of coil accelerometer Performance rivals broadband seismometers Quarter the cost of a broadband seismometer

13 Recorded naturally in Velocity Acceleration converted to Velocity Comparison Prism vs STS2 New accelerometer tech as sensitive as expensive broadband seismometer Magnitude 6.1 earthquake at a range of 2000km

14 Myanmar M6.8, 24 August 2016 Even coil type accelerometers can detect distant earthquakes Recorded in JGC office building in Alabang at a range of 2900km!

15 Frequency Analysis

16 P-wave frequency 6.5Hz

17 S-wave frequency 2Hz

18 Surface wave 2.5Hz

19 Pre-event (natural freq.) 0.4Hz

20 Log scaling for clarity Longer background sample would produce more low frequency detail

21 Spectrogram View

22 Convert to Displacement

23 Vector Sum

24 Earthquake Magnitude Many magnitude scales Richter is most famous, limited Formula unreliable above ML 6 Unreliable for quakes >600km away Moment magnitude for large quakes Richter magnitude easily estimated

25 Magnitude calculated from Distance and Displacement

26 P-to-S time gives Distance, software calculates Displacement & Magnitude Rule of thumb: S minus P in seconds multiplied by 8 gives you distance in km.

27 Data Management Seismic data much more useful when telemetered in real time Centralised data allows concentration on data analysis, not data collection Remote management of stations over web (browser or software)

28 Centralised Data Storage All data rapidly accessible for analysis by centralised engineering resources Reduce survey time after a major earthquake Help to prioritise emergency services Data backup (on instrument and on server) Easy data sharing

29 The SRC Observatory Online Data & Network Management

30 Summary Building performance is measured by recording continuous waveform data from before, during & after earthquakes Low rise buildings more likely to be affected Good accelerographs can be very sensitive Even basic waveform analysis tools can reveal much about building response Centralised data collection and analysis is critical for effective emergency response
