Monitoring of a Building in the Philippines
By Syscom InstrumentsThe Philippines is one of the most seismic countries in the world, with 5 earthquakes with magnitude equal or greater than 7.4 on the Richter scale since 2001.
Since there are many highly urbanized regions, the high-rise buildings are one of the most sensitive structures to be monitored.
In the example presented in this case study, a seismic monitoring is performed inside a high-rise building in Taguig, in the southeastern portion of Metro Manila, close to Marikina Valley Fault System.
