It is required that an ADC for sampling broadband signal directly has high sampling rate, and this will make the sampling accuracy decrease and difficult to be realized. This paper introduces an idea that using multi-channel and low rate ADCs performs sampling broadband signal, then presents a novel method of utilizing adaptive beam forming technique to recover complete bandwidth of the broadband signal. Application of this method can implement both low rate sampling and high accuracy; in addition, it is robust to channel delay and other errors. The result of processing the simulated data has verified the effectiveness of this method.

Measuring rock stratum displacement in dam grouting process is very important. A new displacement system is designed, comprising a programmable microcontroller Atmega16, a new grating capacitive displacement sensor(GCDS), DS1302 real time clock chip and announciator etc. The system has high sampling rate of 9600 baud rate and can trap the displacement equal to 0.001 millimeter in one second. Equipped with mechanical conveyance system, the system can be applied to the civil engineer. The experiment results show the instrument can measure accurately the displacement value and alarm geologic disaster in time, which can conduct continuous and accurate monitoring and provide operation decisions for dam engineers.

abstract An earthquake of MS = 6.3 occurred on 20 January 1982 near the east coast of Great Nicobar Island (in the Bay of Bengal), India and caused great panic among the inhabitants. Ground Fissures and damage to civil engineering structures was also caused. A study comprised of the recording of aftershocks and their migration, the preparation of an isoseismal map, and the compilation of other damage data is presented. Some recommendations have been made to permit suitable safeguards in future development.
