Sentence examples for weak earthquake from inspiring English sources

Therefore, the connection can be rigid during weak earthquake, while the cover plates can slip relative to the chord members during strong earthquake, thereby dissipating energy.

Traditionally, building structures are designed to remain elastic during a weak earthquake.

Such a configuration may likely explain the discrepancies between weak earthquake and ambient noise excitations which were observed in the present study.

As the scientists will report in The Astrophysical Journal, the hypothetical black hole would zip through Earth in about a minute, barely shaking the world's surface the way a very weak earthquake would.

The HVSR technique has been proven an effective and low-cost tool to capture site amplification when applied to both ambient noise and weak earthquake recordings [25, 32, 33].

In this study, we calculated the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios (HVR) from observed microtremors (MHVR) as well as those of observed weak earthquake ground motions (EHVR) and compared predominant peak frequencies and amplitudes at these peak frequencies of the MHVRs and EHVRs with those calculated theoretically from S-wave velocity models based on the diffuse wave concept.

The Continent has comparatively weak earthquakes.

While rescue and recovery work is still continuing in the epicentral region, experts have begun to ask why relatively weak earthquakes always seem to generate enormous amounts of death and destruction in Italy.

Therefore, solar activities (SA's) may cause only weak earthquakes.

This makes the frequency of the weak earthquakes cannot obey a single probability distribution like the negative binomial distribution.

The ambient noise is generally found to cause slight underestimation of the amplification of the sites at most frequencies, but this undervalue is usually near the 1σ bound; thus, we consider both approaches of ambient noise and weak earthquakes HVSR comparable.
