Strong
ground
motions are mosty
measured
by
acceleographs.
Several
agencies placed
acceleographs all
around
Turkey,
especially close to
the active faults.
For information about
the active faults you
can check

Remember:

Raw strong ground motion data may include errors from several sources that
require correction to produce accurate strong motion records. Strong motion
processing is often required to minimize back ground noise, correct for the
dynamic response of the transducer and to correct for measurement errors.

Directivity
Related to the direction of the rupture
front
Forward directivity: rupture toward the
site
(site away from the epicenter)
Backward directivity: rupture away from
the site (site near the epicenter)
Fling
Related to the permanent tectonic
deformation at the site
Forward Directivity
Two-sided velocity pulse due to constructive
interference of SH waves from generated from
parts of the rupture located between the site
and epicenter
Constructive interference occurs if slip
direction is aligned with the rupture direction
Occurs at sites located close to the fault but
away from the epicenter for strike-slip
Fling
One-sided velocity pulse due to tectonic
deformation
Occurs at sites located near the fault rupture
independent of the epicenter location
