A new Earthquake Spectra article "An open-access simulated earthquake ground-motion database for an M7 Hayward Fault earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Region" (pdf) introduces the new PEER-LBNL database of simulated earthquake ground motions, created for applications in earthquake engineering, earthquake planning, and emergency response.
The inaugural version of the database features simulated ground motions for a magnitude 7 Hayward Fault earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Region (SFBR), using the U.S. Department of Energy's EarthQuake SIMulation (EQSIM) simulation framework and the Graves–Pitarka kinematic rupture model.
Prospective users: please fill out this form for requesting access to the database and please visit here for detailed background information about the database, list of available scenario earthquakes and realizations, simulation and ground motion metadata, and links to related publications.
Users with access granted will receive an email about instructions to sign up and activate their accounts.
