The existing accelerograph network could not meet the needs of research, engineering, and construction in China. To improve the situation, the nation provided funds to implement construction of the National Strong Motion Observation Network System (NSMONS) of China in the 10th National Five-year Plan. The project considered the existing strong-motion stations, seismicity in all...
