In 1973, EERI formally initiated the Learning from Earthquakes (LFE) Program. This program, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, sends out multi- disciplinary teams of researchers (e.g., earth scientists, engineers, social scientists) into the field to investigate and to learn from the damaging effects of earthquakes and tsunamis. The reconnaissance team makes a rapid, general damage survey of the affected area, documents initial important observations from the tsunami and/or earthquake, and assesses the need for follow-up areas of research.

Project Collaborators and Contributors: John Wallace, PI (UCLA) Bob Nigbor co-PI (UCLA) Anne Lemnitzer (Cal State Fullerton) Alberto Salamanca Derek Skolnik (Kinemetrics) Leonardo Massone (Univ. of Chile, Santiago) Juan Carlos de la Llerra (Catholic University of Chile, Santiago) + the EERI Reconnaissance Team

Preparation of Instrumentation provided by

 Two 24-channel systems: › 4 Q330s › Ethernet LAN › GPS timing › Netbook running Rockhound, continuous and triggered recording › Accelerometers › Displacement sensors (LVDTs) › Battery power  Packing › Generic suitcases › Letters with lots of logos & stamps

Buildings selected based on: - Access and permission -Typical design layouts representative for Chile and the US -Local collaborator for building selection: Juan Carlos de la Llerra Ambient Vibration 2 Aftershocks Ambient Vibration 30 Aftershocks Ambient Vibration 4 Aftershocks

Building B: -10 story RC residential building - Structural system: Shear Walls -Post Earthquake damage: I. Shear wall failure, II.Column buckling, III. Extensive non-structural failure, IV.slab bending & concrete spalling

Repetitive Damage at the -1 level (Parking level): Wall-Slab intersections Observed Damage in the 10 story shear wall building:

Roof 9th 2nd -1 st

Roof 9th 2nd -1 st

Figure 4: Shear-flexure interaction for a wall subject to lateral loading. (adapted from Massone and Wallace, 2004)

The rotation for flexure was taken at the base of the wall (so the top displacement is multiplied by the wall height), which is the largest value expected for flexure. If we assume that the flexure corresponds to a rotation at wall mid-height, the flexural component should be multiplied by 0.5.

 Getting equipment in (luggage vs shipping, invitation letters, label equipment as non permanent)  Local collaboration is critical (building access, installation, translations)  GPS antenna location is critical  Ethernet cables have variable quality, bring your own plenum-rated & shielded  Trigger and recording needs optimization, consider continuous recording for few-day installations  Local student operation is possible but requires training & Skype

 Reduced cabling or wireless  Simpler systems (Black Box) that can accompany the recon engineers and be deployed by non-experts
