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

Page 7: GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OPEN-FILE REPORT 90-311 · motion stations in the southern California region that triggered during the ML=5.5 Upland earthquake of February 28, 1990. Additional

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 £.
