The earthquake motion is assigned classified by Japan's land area is classified into three categories according to level seismic risk and adjust the seismic motion by using the regional adjustment factor of , and depending on the classification of the area. Meanwhile, the studies to calculate seismic waveforms unique to the target area of seismic design has been conducted in recent years. Seismic wave properties in these studies be determined by carefully checking the seismic profile, ground data, the source model and other data of the target area from the viewpoint of earthquake and geotechnical techniques | FIBER OPTIC SENSORS Edited by Moh.
