DISSEMINATION OF EUROPEAN STRONG-MOTION DATA , VOLUME 2

This paper describes a new CD ROM of European and Middle Eastern strong-motion data that has just been released. The CD ROM contains corrected acceleration, velocity and displacement time-histories of 462 triaxial strong-motion records from 110 earthquakes and 261 stations in Europe and the Middle East. In addition, it also contains linear elastic response spectra, inelastic (elastoplastic) constant strength spectra and inelastic (elastoplastic) constant ductility spectra. The associated earthquake, station and waveform parameters of these 462 records are also present on the CD ROM so that full use can be made of the data. These data were selected using strict selection criteria and so they are the Eurasian data for which most information exists. All of these data can be viewed and analyzed using the Strong-Motion Datascape Navigator (SMDN) software provided on this CD ROM. SMDN allows you to export the timehistories, spectra and the associated parameters of records to ASCII files in a standard format. SMDN can also be used to view and analyze data downloaded from the Internet Site for European Strong-motion Data (www.isesd.cv.ic.ac.uk). INTRODUCTION
