rho, beta, prtitn, radpat, fs: These parameters are the density (in gm/cc) and s

hearwave
velocity (in km/s) in the vicinity of the source, the partition factor (to parti
tion
the S wave energy into two horizontal components, usually given by 1/
v2; it should
be consistent with the next parameter), the radiation pattern, averaged over som
e
portion of the focal sphere (this should refer to the radiation factor of the to
tal Swave
radiation if the partition factor is taken to be 1/
v2; see Boore and Boatwright,
1984, for tables of values), and the free surface factor (usually equal to 2). N
ote that
rho, beta were 2.7, 3.2 and 2.8, 3.8 in the applications of Boore (1983) and Atk
inson
and Boore (1995), respectively. I now suggest 2.8, 3.5 for WNA and 2.8, 3.6 for
ENA.
In case of compound space truss six members will be required to connect two simp
le
space trusses in stable manner so that connecting system does not turn into a me
chanism.
Alternatively one common universal ball and socket joint and three members will
be
required. The method of analysis will be same as in plane truss case.
