Seismic Instrumentation of the Loma Los Colorados Waste Disposal Facility

这一行动是为了支持对智利圣地亚哥郊区洛马洛斯科罗拉多斯废物处理设施的地震仪器进行初步评估和规划。洛马洛斯科罗拉多斯固体废物设施目前正在建设中。该地区经常发生地震，历史上和现代一些大地震都撼动了该地区。例如，1997年10月，该地区发生了7级地震。目前还没有来自垃圾填埋场的全面的强震加速度数据。然而，为了验证现有数值模型的结果，观测是至关重要的。在获得足够的数据集之前，这些模型对现有和拟议的垃圾填埋场的预测仍将是值得怀疑的。因此，智利中部和南部地区是在预期地震强烈加速的情况下对工程结构进行测量的理想地点。KDM，Inc.固体废物填埋场在地震期间的行为是设计者和建造者以及居住在填埋场附近的人关注的主题。洛马洛斯科洛阿多斯垃圾填埋场的建造者已经同意处理仪器的安装、监测和支持，并迅速向国际科学界报告任何记录。这是从被大地震摇晃的仪表化垃圾填埋场获取强震数据的理想机会。

This action is to support a preliminary assessment and planning for the seismic instrumentation of the Loma Los Colorados waste disposal facility in the outskirts of Santiago, Chile. The Loma Los Colorados solid waste facility is now under construction. The region is exposed to frequent earthquakes, and some great earthquakes have shaken the region in historic and modern times. For example, in October 1997, the region was shaken by a magnitude 7 earthquake. At the present no comprehensive strong motion acceleration data form landfills exist. Yet, observations are crucial in order to validate results from existing numerical models. Until adequate data sets are obtained, predictions form these models of existing and proposed landfills will remain questionable. Therefore, the central and southern region of Chile is an ideal location in which to instrument engineered structures in anticipation of strong accelerations from earthquakes.KDM, Inc. The behavior of solid waste landfills during earthquakes is a subject of concern to the designers and builders as well as to those who live near them. The builder of the Loma Los Coloados waste fill, has agreed to handle the installation, monitoring, and support of the instrumentation, and to report any records promptly to the international scientific community. This is an ideal opportunity to obtain strong motion data form an instrumented landfill shaken by a major earthquake.
