Permanently Instrumented Field Sites for
Soil-Foundation-Structure-Interaction
Garner Valley SFSI Field Site
The Garner Valley Array is a thoroughly characterized strong motion monitoring site with surface accelerometers, borehole pore pressure transducers and accelerometers, and an extensively instrumented Soil Foundation Structure Interaction (SFSI) test facility. The Garner Valley array records earthquakes on a daily basis, and is also used in active testing experiments. more
Wildlife Refuge Liquefaction Field Site
Located in the Imperial Valley of Southern California within the Imperial Wildlife Management Area,the Wildlife Liquefaction Array is a fully instrumented site in an area that has historically produced significant ground motion and liquefaction effects. more

Public Science InitiativesNews:
The installation of the accelerometer "shape" array
is complete. The array will monitor ground deformation and lateral spreading using a hanging chain of MEMS accelerometers.
The project is a joint
operation with Rensselaer Polytechic Institute. more
