3. WP 2: STRONG GROUND MOTION DATA BASE AND GROUND MOTION PREDICTION MODELS Leading Countries: Macedonia, Montenegro and Turkey WP Duration: 21 months • Compiling the available strong ground motion data recorded by the improved seismic networks during BSHAP or previously occurred earthquakes using the outputs of earlier scientific projects; • Building a harmonized acceleometric databank by unifying the formats of the collected strong ground motion data; • Improving the databank by adding ground motion recording station information; • Investigation of available ground motion prediction models and their applicability to the region, comparison of results from different prediction models; • Final decision on the ground motion prediction models and their weights to be used in PSHA.

4. PHASE 1: COMPALING AVAILABLE STRONG GROUND MOTION DATA • Oct 2012 – June 2013 • PHASE 1A: Strong Motion Station Inventory • (geographic location, field/building, instrument technical characteristics, soil type) • BSHAP project stations & Other Stations • PHASE 1B1: Compiling the available strong ground motion datarecorded by the improved seismic networks during BSHAP project • PHASE 1B2: Compiling the available strong ground motion data recorded by previously occurred earthquakes using the outputs of earlier scientific projects Improvements in the Harmonized Seismic Hazard Maps for the Western Balkan Countries| SfP 984374 Skopje, 04-05 October 2012

5. PHASE 2: BUILDING A HARMONISED ACCELEROMETRIC DATA BANK • Jan 2013 – Dec 2013 PHASE 2A1: Adopt common software for processing of the raw accelerogram data, developed and verified by wider Seismological Community; defining the component parameter values (peak, spectral values, duration, various intensity values…) PHASE 2A2: Software /Processing Training PHASE 2B: Creating a strong motion data base PHASE 2C: Strong Motion Data Base – Web Access Improvements in the Harmonized Seismic Hazard Maps for the Western Balkan Countries| SfP 984374 Skopje, 04-05 October 2012

6. PHASE 3: DATA BANK IMPROVMENTS BY ADDING GROUNG MOTION STATION INFORMATION • Oct 2012 – June 2013 • PHASE 3A: Compiling the available ground motion stations information's • PHASE 3B: Site stations characterization (physical & mechanical parameters: vp, vs, γ, T) • Abu Dhabi Project example • Station Book Improvements in the Harmonized Seismic Hazard Maps for the Western Balkan Countries| SfP 984374 Skopje, 04-05 October 2012

7. PHASE 4: INVESTIGATION OF AVAILABLE GROUNG MOTION PREDICTION MODELS • Oct 2013 – June 2013 • Akkar and Bommer (2010) • Boore and Atkinson (2008) • Cauzzi and Faccioli (2008) • Bindi et al., (2009) BSHAP-983054 PHASE 4A: Collecting of available regional developed ground motion prediction models PHASE 4B: Collecting of available developed ground motion prediction models for similar geographical regions PHASE 4C: Comparison of the results Improvements in the Harmonized Seismic Hazard Maps for the Western Balkan Countries| SfP 984374 Skopje, 04-05 October 2012
