        "abstract": "The development of robust designs in seismometer hardware and software is making it more feasible to densely instrument civil structures on a permanent basis in order to study their states of health. The 17-story UCLA Factor building contains one of those cutting-edge structural arrays, recording building vibrations continuously \nat high sample rates. It is one of only a handful of buildings in the U.S. permanently instrumented on every floor, providing us with information about how a common \nclass of urban structures, mid-rise moment-frame steel buildings, will respond to strong ground shaking and how the response changes as the building is damaged. For \nexample, structural stiffness undoubtedly decreased when welded beam-column connections extensively fractured in numerous moment-frame steel buildings during the \n1994 Northridge earthquake. Unfortunately, there are no seismic records from buildings with this type of damage. However, we anticipate that changes should be observable through analysis of vibration data for a well-instrumented building.",

For example, the large amount of damage\nthat occurred in Santa Monica after the Northridge earthquake may have been caused by focusing of seismic energy.",

A more thorough knowledge of the subsurface structure of southern California is needed to reveal these and other buried faults and to aid us in understanding how the earthquake-producing machinery works in this region.",
