Figure 7.15. CAMUS mock-up

Most tests were conducted with an artificial acceleration meter deduced from the
Nice S1 spectrum of PS92 regulations, with the timescale contracted by factor
1/ 3 to respect the similarity rules. CAMUS I and II models have been the
subjects of additional tests to compare a proximal earthquake nearby (San Francisco
or Melendy Ranch-type natural signal) with a distal earthquake (Nice-type artificial
signal). The levels carried out during the test campaign were as follows:
- CAMUS I: Nice 0.24 g, San Francisco 1.11 g, Nice 0.24 g, Nice 0.40 g, Nice
0.71 g;

- CAMUS II: Nice 0.10 g, Nice 0.23 g, Nice 0.52 g, Nice 0.51 g;

- CAMUS III: Nice 0.42 g, Melendy Ranch 1.35 g, Nice 0.64 g, Nice 1 g.
