STRONG-MOTION RECORDINGS FROM THE
ML 5.5 UPLAND, CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE!
OF FEBRUARY 28. 1990
The chief purpose of the work is for the benefit of engi neers and architects. It has been felt that they should say what they want, and the general consensus obtained from them is that recording should start at the point where slight damage begins and that such records should have sufficient amplitude for interpretation. The upper limit should be the recording of acceleration for as wide a range as the design of the instrument permits, and the upper limit should exceed 0.2 the acceleration of gravity.

INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Geological Survey's Cooperative Strong-Motion Instrumentation
Network consists of approximately 1000 stations located in 41 states and
Puerto Rico. Station instrumentation is owned by numerous Federal, State, and
local agencies and various private industries and property owners. Key
objectives of the Network program are to record both strong ground motion and
the response of various types of engineered structures during potentially
damaging earthquakes and to disseminate resultant data to the international
earthquake engineering research and design community. This report presents
peak acceleration data and copies of accelerograms recorded at 46 strong-
motion stations in the southern California region that triggered during the
ML=5.5 Upland earthquake of February 28, 1990. Additional strong-motion
recordings were made at stations operated by the University of Southern
California and the California Division of Mines and Geology's Office of
Strong-Motion Studies. Record information and data from those networks can be
obtained by contacting the agencies' headquarters in Los Angeles and
Sacramento, respectively.
The ML=5.5 Upland, California earthquake occurred at 23:43:36.0 (G.m.t.)
on February 28, 1990. The epicenter was located at 34.140° N. lat. and
117.688° W. long., approximately 5 km northwest of downtown Upland and 40 km
east of Pasadena; depth was about 10 km. The earthquake was reported felt
from Santa Barbara, California to Ensenada, Mexico and east to Las Vegas,
Nevada (U.S. Geological Survey, Preliminary Determination of Epicenters, March
22, 1990).
ACCELEROGRAPH DATA
The main shock triggered 82 accelerographs at 46 Cooperative Network
stations at epicentral distances in the range 3-76 km (fig. 1 and table 1).
Twelve of these stations are owned by the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California (MWD), six by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, three by
the Veterans Administration, two shared by the U.S. Geological Survey and the
Bechtel Corporation, one by the California Dept. of Transportation, and the
remainder by the U.S. Geological Survey (see table 1). The analog records
shown in figure 2 were recorded on triaxial accelerographs located at 16
ground sites, twelve dam/reservoir facilities, four filter plants, twelve
large buildings, and two bridges. Other recordings were made on multi-channel
(9-24) systems at one dam, one base-isolated bridge, and five buildings (see
table 1). Ground accelerations from the ML=5.5 main shock generally reached
peak levels of 10 percent £ out to distances of approximately 30 km. However,
high amplitude ground motions were recorded at three close-in stations: San
Antonio Dam (3 km), Live Oak Reservoir (5 km), and Weymouth Filter Plant (8
km; see figure 2 and table 1).
The closest station is San Antonio Dam, a flood and debris control
reservoir operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide protection
against flooding in the alluvial plain of the upper Santa Ana Valley. The
reservoir, located about 7 km northeast of Claremont, was empty at the time of
the earthquake. The crest of the earthfill embankment is approximately 1175 m
long, 10 m wide, and 50 m above the original streambed. Both of the abutments
rest directly on bedrock. Records were obtained from the crest station
situated midway between the two abutments, at a station located midchannel,
approximately 150 m downstream from the toe, and on the right abutment. The
crest recording contains 4-5 seconds of .2 £-.6 £, 2-Hz horizontal motion.
The right abutment and downstream recordings are similar except for the
somewhat higher frequencies at the abutment site, which also recorded higher
vertical motions than either the crest or downstream stations. Peak
accelerations greater than .1 g were recorded for 3-4 seconds at both the
abutment and downstream sites.
The second closest recording station is located at Live Oak Reservoir, a
water storage facility operated by the MWD. The reservoir, situated near the
mouth of Live Oak Canyon, was empty at the time of the earthquake. The
reservoir instrumentation consists of a triaxial accelerograph on the abutment
and a 12-channel remote recording system on the earthfill embankment with 3
sensors at center crest, 2 at left crest, 1 at left slope, 3 at center slope,
and 3 at center toe. Peak horizontal accelerations varied widely, from .18 £
at center toe to .53 g at left crest (see figure 2).
Two accelerographs recorded the main shock at Weymouth Filter Plant, a
water treatment facility operated by the MWD, just north of the city of
LaVerne. The horizontal ground level accelerations were recorded in the range
.2-.3 £ at frequencies of 5-10 Hz. The second accelerograph, located on the
roof of a large water storage tank produced peak horizontal motions of about
80 percent £, with very high-frequency (50-100 Hz) "spikes" in excess of 1
g. Vertical motions at the roof of the tank were of such high frequency
during strong shaking that maximum trace amplitudes on the film recording
could not be discerned; the maximum observable peak was measured at .87 £.
