“…REXEL (Iervolino et al 2010a(Iervolino et al , 2011(Iervolino et al , 2012 was the first, all-in-one, software introduced for this purpose and facilitates the search for suites of waveforms compatible to target spectra that are either user defined or automatically generated according to Eurocode 8 and the recently issued Italian seismic code. An alternative web-based software for earthquake record selection is SelEQ (Dias 2010), offering various filtering options.…”

“…A glossary of the most common engineering and seismological terms, together with a tool for engineering applications, REXELite (Iervolino et al 2011), were implemented. The latter is a simplified version of the REXEL software published by Iervolino et al (2010) which allows to search a set of strong-motion records compatible with a target spectrum chosen from the Italian Building Code (CS.LL.PP.…”

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 Protection (Dipartimento della Protezione Civile, DPC) and the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), starting from 2005. The alpha version of the database was released in 2007 and subsequently upgraded to version 1. 0 after: (i) including the most recent strong motion data (from 2005 to 2007) recorded in Italy, in addition to the 2008 Parma earthquake, M 5. 4, and the M ≥ 4. 0, 2009 Abruzzo seismic events; (ii) processing the raw strong motion data using an updated procedure; (iii) increasing the number of stations with a measured shear wave velocity profile; (iv) improving the utilities to retrieve time series and ground motion parameters; (v) implementing a tool for selecting time series in agreement with design-response spectra; (vi) compiling detailed station reports containing miscellaneous information such as photo, maps and site parameters; (vii) developing procedures for the automatic generation of station reports and for the updating of the header files. After such improvements, ITACA 1. 0 was published at the web site http://itaca.mi.ingv.it, in 2010. It presently contains 3,955 three-component waveforms, comprising the most complete catalogue of the Italian accelerometric records in the period 1972-2007 (3,562 records) and the strongest events in the period 2008-2009. Records were mainly acquired by DPC through its Accelerometric National Network (RAN) and, in few cases, by local networks and temporary stations or networks. This paper introduces the published version of the Italian Strong Motion database (ITACA version 1. 0) together with main improvements and new functionalities

“…As a final synthesis of such characterization, the seismic classification of the site according to the seismic norms, in the Italian case either the EuroCode 8 (CEN 2003) or the national code provisions NTC-08 (NTC 2008), is a crucial step towards the rationale selection of accelerograms for engineering applications (see e.g., Iervolino et al 2011).…”

One of the main objectives of the ITACA (ITalian ACcelerometric Archive) strong motion database, promoted by the Italian Department of Civil Protection, was to improve the characterization of the recording sites from a geological and geophysical point of view and to provide their seismic classification according to the seismic norms pertinent to Italy, namely the Eurocode 8 and the National Technical Norms for Constructions. A standard format to summarize the available information for the recording stations was first produced, in terms of a technical report dynamically linked to the database, i.e., some of the relevant information is automatically updated when the corresponding fields of the database are modified. Then, an important activity of collection, qualification and synthesis of available data was carried out, especially for stations that recorded the strongest earthquakes in Italy in the last 40 years, and for which a relevant number of studies have been published. In spite of this activity, among the more than 700 strong motion stations present in the ITACA database, only a limited number of them could be characterized by quantitative information on subsurface soil properties. For this reason, a dual seismic site classification criterion was implemented, either based on the standard V s,30 scheme, or, in the absence of such information, based on an expert opinion supported by shallow geology maps, mostly at 1:100,000 scale, and when available on the H/V ratios calculated on recordings. Owing 123 1780 Bull Earthquake Eng (2011Eng ( ) 9:1779Eng ( -1796 to the relevance in the Italian geographic and morphological context, a special care was also given to the topographic classification of stations, based on suitable criteria developed within a GIS environment.
