What types of buildings/structures does CSMIP instrument?
The CSMIP installs earthquake-monitoring devices in structures such as buildings, hospitals, bridges, dams, utilities and industrial facilities. The program has installed more than 1000 stations, including 700 ground-response stations, 170 buildings, 20 dams and 60 bridges. Sites are selected according to long-term strategies developed in consultation with the Strong Motion Instrumentation Advisory Committee, a committee of the Seismic Safety Commission.
