Seismic Site Investigation for an In-Situ Earthquake Ground Motion Simulator
| Bechtel
Corporation and the Nevada
Testing Institute (NeTI) are designing an in-situ earthquake ground
motion simulator capable of measuring soil-structure interaction as well
as applying loads to large scale structures through a soil foundation.
Demonstrations of the concept were conducted in the summer of 1998 at the Nevada Test Site. Seismic measurements were conducted for the purpose of site characterization and documentation of stiffness changes due to shock loading. |
