The waveforms contained in ESM are relative to events with magnitude ≥ 4.0, mainly recorded in the European-Mediterranean regions and the Middle-East. ESM is targeted to applied seismologists, earthquake engineers, professional engineers, geologists, and policy makers. ESM main features are: Access to authoritative strong-motion data and metadata; Manual processing and quality check of waveforms; Periodic upload of waveforms and revision of related metadata; Standardization of waveforms and metadata according to the Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN); Data interoperability with other datasets and open-source software (e.g. Obspy); Availability of facilities for engineering seismology and earthquake engineering; Documentation for the User. ESM is fully compatible with 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 off-line data, available in regional archives, such as the European Strong-Motion Database (ISESD), the ITalian ACcelerometric Archive (ITACA), the Strong Ground Motion Database of Turkey and the HEllenic Accelerogram Database (HEAD). The philosophy of data collection is described in Luzi et al. (2016) . ESM is developed and maintained by the ESM WG of INGV under the general coordination of the ORFEUS strong-motion management committee,and has been supported by the following Projects: European Plate Observing System (EPOS, GA 676564); Seismology and Earthquake Engineering Research Infrastructure Alliance for Europe (SERA, GA 730900). ingv_1177 INGV INGV N/A Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) MASCANDOLA Claudia [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] MASCANDOLA Claudia [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1941-4679#361 Wissenschaft und Technologie Science and technology Scienza e tecnologia Ciencia y tecnología Science et technologie 2026-02-01T00:00:00 1967-01-01T00:00:00 Engineering Strong Motion Database (ESM), version 3.0 SGOBBA Sara [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] SGOBBA Sara [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5669-8650#1134 RAMADAN Fadel [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] RAMADAN Fadel [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5098-1797#3578 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6342-7293#2907 BRUNELLI Giulio [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] BRUNELLI Giulio [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] LANZANO Giovanni [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] LANZANO Giovanni [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7947-4281#357 RUSSO Emiliano [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] RUSSO Emiliano [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1032-7002#1124 MULTIPOLYGON (((-30.0000 70.0000, 60.0000 70.0000, 60.0000 25.0000, -30.0000 25.0000, -30.0000 70.0000))) {"type": "MultiPolygon","coordinates": [[[ [-30,70], [60,70], [60,25], [-30,25], [-30,70] ]]]} LUZI Lucia [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] LUZI Lucia [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4312-580X#360 3.0 Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) http://www.ingv.it/it/ ingv FELICETTA Chiara [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] FELICETTA Chiara [Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Italy] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2852-9144#354 terremoti ingv Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia 10.13127/esm.3
