3.0 Instrumentation and Data Processing<br />
This section describes the instrumentation setup used to collect the acceleration data,<br />
and the methods of data processing used to obtain transient displacements from the<br />
recorded accelerations.<br />
3.1 Instrumentation<br />
Horizontal acceleration will be measured in the direction of shaking using<br />
accelerometers mounted on the roof of the structure and on the base shaker<br />
(Fig. 3-1).<br />
