Abstract

Installation of the SMART2 downhole array in Da-Han Industrial School was completed in May 1992. This array contains one free surface station and three downhole accelerometers down to 200 m depth. Thirteen events recorded by this downhole array are used to study the orientations of the downhole accelerometers are N3°E, N91°E, and N75°E, respectively. The near surface Qvalue is calculated by using the records of three events. The result of Q(f)=9.55f1.06 was obtained from the smoothed power spectrum ratios. The surface ground motions of two events are simulated from the observed downhole records and Q value we obtained by using the Haskell method. The results confirm the downhole instrument orientations and near surface Q value that we derived in this study.
