Seismic Propagation Mapping of Tropic Sensor Test Grids.
Abstract
Field data were collected in the final part of a two-part study to establish seismic response characteristics, their distribution, and the environmental factors that influence them. Data were collected in two United States Army Tropic Test Center seismic sensor test areas (Gamboa and Alpha) in the Panama Canal Zone during the 1971 wet season. Detailed seismic and environmental data are presented, and special seismic response tests (drop-hammer, man-walking, vegetation effects, reproducibility and ambient-noise) conducted in various environmental conditions at 24 sites in the Gamboa test area and 11 sites in the Alpha test area are described. Also included are results of a multicorrelation analysis used to relate the seismic response descriptors-peak particle velocity (PPV), peak summed particle velocity (PSPV), and sum-frequency (f)--to the environmental measures.
