Housing Class Tunnel
Housing Description Sensor in 91m long tunnel, 27.8m directly below free surface, 90m from the only entrance. Both Sensors placed on 30cm high concrete pedestal on rock, insulated with a sheet metal cover. Tunnel is manmade, used once a year by power plant operators to measure the slope slide. Rarely used roads and a few buildings in about 100m distance.

Empirical Amplification
CH.WGT..HH not available
CH.WGT..HG 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.
