Soviet Strong-Motion and Vibration-and-Blast Seismographs

Abstract

This report contains a description of the current state of the art of Soviet strong-motion and vibration-and-blast seismographs, taken from Soviet publications available in the United States through early 1975. It is intended primarily for U.S. seismologists working with strong-motion data, and persons interested in Soviet advances in seismic instruments. The report contains: (1) four tables listing the technical specifications of Soviet seismometers and accelerometers used most widely in galvanometrically recording strong-motion seismographs; (2) a description of recorders; characteristics of four of the most widely used strong-motion instruments; and specifications of direct- recording, three-component seismograph systems. Also treated are auxiliary equipment, including seismic triggers, and seismic engineering networks. An extensive bibliography is included.
