Recorded Data of Ground Motion Record on the October 2019 Series of Earthquakes in Cotabato City

Requested from PHIVOLCS by J. Navasca at 04:11 PM on Mar 21, 2022.
Purpose: Research Data for Graduate Thesis in Structural Engineering in University of The Philippines
Date of Coverage: 10/01/2019 - 12/31/2019
Tracking no: #PHIVOLCS-067815881794

Hi, I would like to request information regarding the recorded ground motion data on the series of earthquakes that happens in Cotabato City from October 2019 to December 2019.  Can you also indicate the distance to the source of the recording station?

I am currently working on my thesis regarding the seismic performance of low-rise building subjected to sequential motion. This study is significant and timely since in the recent years we determine that aftershocks cause damaging effects to structures affected by mainshock event. 

Thank you for your time and consideration on my request.
