In the Fiordland region of the South Island of New Zealand, the subducted Australian Plate
steepens from south to north, becoming near-vertical below 75 km depth between Doubtful …

SMART 1 is the first large digital array of strong-motion seismographs specially designed for
engineering and seismological studies of the generation and near-field properties of …

The characterization of strength of earthquake demands for seismic analysis or design
requires the specification of a level of intensity. Numerous ground motion intensity indices …

An ensemble of 201 Greek strong motion components is analysed and the respective
duration and instrumental energy characteristics are determined. A comparative study of …

Abstract A moment magnitude (Mw) 6.2 earthquake struck beneath the outer suburbs of
Christchurch, New Zealand's second largest city, on 22 February 2011 local time. The …

We have derived equations for predicting the larger horizontal and the random horizontal
component of peak acceleration and of 2-, 5-, 10-, and 20-percent-damped pseudovelocity …

Strong-motion data processing is necessary to evaluate reliable ground-motion for standard
or specific applications. We describe a processing web-service, fully integrated with the …

Empirical equations are presented for the prediction of displacement response ordinates for
damping ratios of 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30% of critical and for response periods up to 4s, using …

Digital strong-motion instruments allow routine recovery of ground motions at periods much
longer than possible with older analog instruments, and under favorable conditions it may …

Abstract The Italian Strong Motion Database, ITACA, was developed within projects S6 and
S4, funded in the framework of the agreements between the Italian Department of Civil …
