Abstract
Part I of this paper presents the basic theory for estimating the energy in body and surface waves. Limitations in epicentral distances within which satisfactory results can be obtained for body waves are considered. Methods for obtaining the energy in both Love and Rayleigh waves are developed for a structure consisting of a superficial layer overlying a semi-infinite medium of differing elastic properties.Keywords
