California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program(CSMIP) operates 13 geotechnical arrays throughout the state of California, 8 of them instrumented with the support of Caltrans.
More than 60 low amplitude recordings from earthquakes with 2.4<M<7.1 were recorded. • The strongest acceleration of about 0.5g was recorded at the Los Angeles La Cienega array during the M4.2 earthquake of Sep. 9, 2001 (Epicentral Distance: 2.7 km, Depth: 8 km).

Summary • CSMIP operates 13 geotechnical arrays in California. More than 60 low amplitude recordings from earthquakes with 2.4<M<7.1 are recorded. • Processed data of Geotechnical arrays are available at: ftp://ftp.consrv.ca.gov/pub/dmg/csmip/GeotechnicalArrayData • Dynamic properties of soil (such as wave velocity and amplification) are studied using the records of Geotech arrays. • Shake91 model worked well for simple source and vertical wave propagation cases. • Basin Effect is observed in surface wave records of Geotech Arrays in Los Angeles area during the Hector Mine Earthquake.
