Acknowledgments: This testing funded by the the Mid-America Earthquake Center. We want to thank Charles Langston, Mitch Withers, Chris McGoldrick and John Filipcic for the coordination and organization to allow us access to the test sites .
Seven Seismic Piezocone tests (SCPTu) were performed between October 2002 and September 2003 at sites where permanent ANSS stations are located, around the New Madrid Seismic Zone, in the states of Tennessee and Arkansas. In addition, one cone penetrometer sounding was performed in March 2000 near an additional ANSS station located at Mud Island in Memphis, TN. More accurate true interval seismic data were obtained for the same site in September 2003.
