Abstract:
This article describes the Engineering Strong-Motion Database
(ESM), developed in the framework of the European project
Network of European Research Infrastructures for Earthquake
Risk Assessment and Mitigation (NERA, see Data and Resources).
ESM is specifically designed to provide end users only with
quality-checked, uniformly processed strong-motion data and
relevant parameters and has done so since 1969 in the Euro-
Mediterranean region. The database was designed for a large
variety of stakeholders (expert seismologists, earthquake engineers,
students, and professionals) with a user-friendly and
straightforward web interface.
Users can access earthquake and station information and
download waveforms of events with magnitude ≥ 4:0 (unprocessed
and processed acceleration, velocity, and displacement,
and acceleration and displacement response spectra at 5%
damping). Specific tools are also available to users to process
strong-motion data and select ground-motion suites for codebased
seismic structural analyses.
