Housing Class Urban free field
Housing Description Service room in a cabin of the road maintenance staff of the Canton Valais. The cabin hosts batteries, which are used as power supply for lightning of a nearby tunnel. The batteries are charged by solar panels mounted on 4 metal poles (height about 4-6 m from ground) in a distance of about 10 m to the cabin. Sensor in SE corner the 1 story building with building footprint 6m x 3m. Building type: concrete. Building density: isolated building. Sensor placed directly on concrete floor, covered with plastic pot, insulated with rubber foam.

Empirical Amplification
8D.RAW2..HH not available

Obtained from spectral modeling of small earthquakes with constant update.

  • Top: Fourier amplification with elastic (dashed line) and anelastic (solid line) amplification functions;
  • Centre: 5% damped response spectra amplification (anelastic);
  • Bottom: Number of recordings used.
