EUROPEAN STRONG MOTION DATA BANK
During the past decade Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine, London, Ente Nazionale per
l'Energia Elettrica, Rome, Ente
per le Nuove Tecnologie, l'Energia e l'Ambiente, Rome and Institut de
Protection et de Sûreté Nucléaire, Fontenay aux Roses attempted to retrieve, process and analyse strong-motion records, chiefly analogue, from the European,
Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. This dataset contains information for
1,089 record sets from 482 separate earthquakes and 352 individual
strong-motion stations and, in the frame of the EC-project "Dissemination
of European Strong-Motion Data", was extended with more than 1,400 new
strong-motion records, giving a total of more than 7,500 European component
records now held at the Imperial College strong-motion databank.
The CD-ROM "Dissemination of European
Strong-Motion Data" contains:
·
a databank with 1,068
uncorrected and uniformly corrected strong-motion records and elastic response
spectra from Europe and adjacent regions.
·
a database with
associated earthquake-, station- and waveform-parameters.
·
a browser-program for
searching, selecting, visualising and exporting the records and associated parameters.
·
user documentation.
The databank, database and browser program
are the result of our effort to process, archive and uniformly present European
"ground response" acceleration time histories that have been recorded
between 1971 and 1999. The compilation and processing of this dataset were
supported by the European Council, Environment, and
Climate Research Programme, DGXII, contract ENV4-CT97-0397 (Dissemination of European Strong-Motion
Data).
Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London continues this work in collaboration with
several European partners in the frame of the project Internet-Site for European Striong-Motion Data, supported by the European Council through the 5th Framework Programme, contract EVR1-CT-1999-40008.
