Dataset of selected design-compatible waveforms for microzonation studies

Abstract

This dataset collects 5 sets of 11 waveforms compatible with the elastic response spectrum as defined in the Swiss normative SIA261 (2020) for each seismic zone (zones 1a, 1b, 2, 3a, 3b). Specifically, each set of waveforms is compatible, in the period range 0.02 – 2.0s, with the elastic response spectrum defined by SIA261 (2020) – for a 475 years return period – for a soil class A site in the corresponding SIA261 (2020) zone. The compatibility is ensured by respecting the selection criteria listed in the Eurocode 8 (2022) draft released during the research project.
