Project Report: Design of An Improvised Seismograph: Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology

The document describes a student project to design an improvised seismograph using recycled materials. The objectives are for the seismograph to record earthquake movement along the x-direction effectively and accurately. A proposed design is shown, along with materials and specifications. The project budget lists the materials needed - thermal paper, an AC plug, and glue sticks - with a total cost of 108 Philippine pesos. Construction methodology and a Gantt chart schedule are also included. Results, conclusions, and recommendations will be presented upon project completion. Progress photos will document the building process.

I. PROJECT TITLE: Design of an Improvised Seismograph

II. INTRODUCTION:
Earthquakes are natural phenomenon, which occur all of a sudden without any warning sometimes
resulting in loss of lives and property. Significant part of our population lives under a threat of
damaging earthquakes particularly in high seismic zone.
The awareness about the science of earthquakes, earthquake safety measures and disaster mitigation
among the people residing in the earthquake prone area is less in a developing country like
Philippines.

As civil engineering students, earthquake engineering must be studied because it is a multi-phased


process that ranges from the description of earthquake sources, to characterization of effects on site
and structural response, and to description of measures of seismic protection here in the Philippines
as we are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire where we are surrounded by several active faults.

Seismologists study earthquakes by going out and looking at the damage caused by the earthquakes
and its magnitude by using seismograph. A seismograph is a machine that records seismic waves
which is produced by a seismogram. A seismogram is a paper record of the seismic waves the
seismograph received. Seismographs have a weighted pen suspended from a stationary frame. A
drum of paper is attached to the ground. As the ground shakes in an earthquake, the pen remains
stationary but the drum moves beneath it. This creates the squiggly lines that make up a seismogram.

By studying the seismogram, the seismologist can tell how far away the earthquake was and how
strong it was. This record doesn't tell the seismologist exactly where the epicenter was, just that the
earthquake happened so many miles or kilometers away from that seismograph.

Our objective in this research project is to design an improvised seismograph which is


 Made by recycled materials
 Can record earthquake movement along x direction effectively and accurately
