Mitigation of Ground Vibration due to Collapse of a Large-Scale Cooling Tower with Novel Application of Materials as Cushions

Table 5

Comparison of the on-site measured and simulated maximum acceleration amplitudes of ground vibration at point [18].

Direction	Stage	Amplitude (×10^−2 m/s^2)
		On-site monitored	Simulated	Error^#
Vertical	Falling down
	Impacting ground
Radial	Falling down
	Impacting ground

position of field monitoring point was indicated in Figure 13. ^#Error = (simulated value − on-site monitored value)/on-site monitored value.
