Helping safeguard Veterans Affairs' hospital buildings by advanced earthquake monitoring Helping safeguard Veterans Affairs' hospital buildings by advanced earthquake monitoring
In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the National Strong Motion Project of the U.S. Geological Survey has recently installed sophisticated seismic systems that will monitor the structural integrity of hospital buildings during earthquake shaking. The new systems have been installed at more than 20 VA medical campuses across the country. These monitoring...

Real-time seismic monitoring of instrumented hospital buildings Real-time seismic monitoring of instrumented hospital buildings
In collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the U.S. Geological Survey's National Strong Motion Project has recently installed sophisticated seismic monitoring systems to monitor the structural health of two hospital buildings at the Memphis VA Medical Center in Tennessee. The monitoring systems in the Bed Tower and Spinal Cord Injury buildings combine sensing...

Report on progress at the Center for Engineering Strong Motion Data (CESMD) Report on progress at the Center for Engineering Strong Motion Data (CESMD)
Strong-motion data of engineering and scientific importance from the United States and other seismically active countries are served through the Center for Engineering Strong Motion Data (CESMD) at www.strongmotioncenter.org. Recently, the CESMD staff, with cooperation from colleagues at international strong-motion seismic networks, has disseminated strong-motion data from significant...

Improved earthquake monitoring in the central and eastern United States in support of seismic assessments for critical facilities Improved earthquake monitoring in the central and eastern United States in support of seismic assessments for critical facilities
Evaluation of seismic monitoring capabilities in the central and eastern United States for critical facilities - including nuclear powerplants - focused on specific improvements to understand better the seismic hazards in the region. The report is not an assessment of seismic safety at nuclear plants. To accomplish the evaluation and to provide suggestions for improvements using funding...
