The accelerometers
are generally
installed on the
North Anatolian
Fault System (NAFS),
East Anatolian Fault
System (EAFS) and
Aegean Graben
System where the
big earthquakes
occurred or the
expected active areas.

LOCAL NETWORKS
Local networks are established with specific geometrical arrays on active fault
systems in order to observe seismic activity closely.

The average of shear-wave velocity for upper 30m soil layer (VS30) is obtained
at the each strong-motion site thanks to multi-channel analysis of surface
waves (MASW), which is used for defining of soil classification.

DATA PROCESS
Windows-based software (USDP) was
developed during the project for the filter
Within the framework of the process (Akkar and Bommer, 2006) of
project entitled “Compilation of records in the database.
The National Strong Motion
Network Database According to
International Standart“, 3000
events and 4600 raw
accelerometric data (between
1976 and 2007) is prosessed
uniformly with a consistent
methodology through the
software called USDP (Utility
Elastic spectral parameters of all records was
Software for Data Processing) .
also determined for researchers by using
the same filter method.

DATA FORMAT
In the header information there are three components of acceleration
data like; N-S (North-South), E-W (East-West) and U-D (up-down).
Sample intervals for each records can be found beneath the header
"SAMPLE INTERVAL".
Until now, There have been about 7600 acceleration records, which are
presented via Internet to all researchers and scientific areas.
