SIBER-RISK Strong Motion Database update
We are glad to inform that we have updated the SIBER-RISK Strong Motion Database. A new correction methodology has been applied in all the events from 1985 to october 2019. We are planning to share the correction methodology soon, but for now you can download the new records and use the new features in the website … Continue reading SIBER-RISK Strong Motion Database update
Welcome Juan Pablo!
We are pleased to announce a new member of the SIBER-RISK team. Juan Pablo Muñoz, who recently defended his Master thesis, is joining us. In his thesis, he proposed a methodology for efficient inelastic dynamic analysis of structures, that can be used for evaluating their performance or to design seismic protection systems. Now, in SIBER-RISK, … Continue reading Welcome Juan Pablo!
