Engineering Strong Motion Database (ESM), version 1.0

Type Data Collection Class type Dati Sismologici e Infrasonici (terrestri e marini)

Strong-Motion Earthquakes Acceleration Waveforms Engineering Seismology Earthquake Engineering Qe - Geology [lcc] 551 Geology, Hydrology, Meteorology [ddc] 551.2 Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Thermal Waters And Gases [ddc]

The Engineering Strong-Motion database (ESM) has been developed in the framework of the European Project NERA (Network of European Research Infrastructures for Earthquake Risk Assessment and Mitigation), Network Activity 3: Networking acceleration networks and SM data users. The database is maintained by WG5 of ORFEUS. ESM includes earthquake and station information, waveforms and response spectra for events with magnitude greater than or equal to 4.0 mainly recorded in the European-Mediterranean and the middle-East regions. ESM includes data from the European Integrated Data Archive (EIDA), a distributed data centre established to securely archive seismic waveform data and related metadata, based on international seismological standards. ESM also includes: European Strong-Motion Database (FP5 1998-2002), the ITalian ACcelerometric Archive (ITACA, up to 2015), the Strong Ground Motion Database of Turkiye and the HEllenic Accelerogram Database (HEAD).
