DESCRIPTION TDR stands for Time Domain Reflectometry. A coaxial cable is placed in the ground, and pulses are sent down the cable. When an earthquake or structural fault damages the cable, the readings on monitoring equipment attached to the cable (in this case, an oscilloscope) will change instantly, alerting users to compromised structural integrity.
