Abstract
The measurement of strong motion has made significant advances in the last two decades. This paper reviews past and present instruments and techniques in strongmotion measurement, especially for dam instrumentation. Some of the most important recent strong-motion records obtained in California are reviewed for their impact in the earthquake instrumentation and response of dams.
This paper also considers current developments in instrumentation. Near-real-time strong-motion recording, which is an important emerging development that will see greater application in the future, is also reviewed.
