... The Chilean isolation code limits the story drifts to be less than 0.25% for the DBE level. This is different to other codes such as the ASCE7 [3] because it is directly measured from the reduced (by the R* factor) DBE spectrum instead of multiplying the elastic response by Cd/I. In order to control ...

Reflection seismology
Reflection seismology (or seismic reflection) is a method of exploration geophysics that uses the principles of seismology to estimate the properties of the Earth's subsurface from reflected seismic waves. The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy, such as dynamite/Tovex, a specialized air gun or a seismic vibrator, commonly known by the trademark name Vibroseis. Reflection seismology is similar to sonar and echolocation. This article is about surface seismic surveys; for vertical seismic profiles, see VSP.
