A new approach for earthquake response observation of buildings in collaboration with nonprofessional partners

本文介绍了一种名为“P-NET”的建筑物地震反应观测新方法，并与高中师生合作进行了试验。该系统使用低成本地震仪，日常维护由对地球和建筑科学、抗震建筑和减灾感兴趣的非专业用户执行。该观测已经在一些高中进行了测试，并将对观测数据进行分析，以证明所提出的系统在许多建筑物中长期观测的有效性。此外，最重要的影响是，合作伙伴将对地球科学、地震工程和减灾领域感兴趣。

A new approach for earthquake response observation of buildings called "P-NET" is introduced and tested in collaboration with high school teachers and students. The system is utilizing low cost seismometers and daily maintenance is performed by non-professional users who are interested in earth and building science, aseismic building and disaster mitigation. The observation has already tested in some high schools and observed data will be analyzed to show the effectiveness of the proposed system for long term observation in many buildings. Furthermore the most important effect is that the partner will be interested in the field of earth science, earthquake engineering and disaster mitigation.
